As to the irregular usage one may note laħa for सानन्दम् ( 21.23 ) and सप्तवारान् for सप्तवारम् ( 57.4 ).
There are some cases of the confusion of Ganas of roots, for instance, भक्षित्वा for भक्षयित्वा ( 38.2, 47.9 ); खन्यत: for खनत: ( 51.1 ); न्यसन् for न्यासयन् ( 145.25 ); and लज्जयित्वा for लज्जित्वा ( 89.4 ).
There is one case where the Imperative form is used for that of the Present : यदि राशीहारं मे देहि ( ददासि ) तदा (45.8).
No clear-cut distinction is made in the use of Primitive and Causal base in some places. बन्धयित्वा for बद्ध्वा ( 22.4; 31.8, 53.14); परिणयिष्यसि for परिणेष्यसि (125.22) ; रक्षय for रक्ष ( 5.8); and याचयत: for याचमानस्य ( 84.5 ).
There are some cases of the use of Past Passive for the Past Active : निन्दित: for निन्दितवान् ( 24, 18 ); ज्येष्ठः ... औषधं दत्तम् for दत्तवान् ( 67. 25 ); and आश्रिता for आश्रितवती ( 144. 19 ).
There are some irregular forms of the Gerund used by the author : आकारयित्वा for आकार्य ( 38.5 ); नियन्त्रित्वा for नियन्त्र्य ( 42.26 ); जातिस्मरीभूय for भूत्वा ( 76.26 ) and अलंकृत्वा for अलंकृत्य (143. 24).
There are some instances of irregular agreement both in nominal and verbal forms : रामदत्ता देवो जातः ( for जाता, 17.17. ); स गर्दभी जाता ( 86.16 ); विनयं कर्तव्यः ( 117. 11 ); अहम् अनाकार्षीत् ( for कार्षम् 20,19 ).
The use of the particle nama deserves to be noted: पुत्री श्रीधरा नामा ( for नाम, by name ) जाता ( 17.20 ); विजयो नामा ( for नाम ) जात: ( 18.26 ); संगमनामो ( for 'नामा, 91.20 ).
There is a peculiar use of lagna after a verbal form.
