(P. 201. A. 3. S. 5.
Here 8715Et is grammatically wrong. The root a is used in Atmanepada, only when the thing struck is one's own limb.
All imitations are innocent. Therefore, if ungrammatical words are used with a view to quote the words of others, there is no fault of Barca.
In the following sutra, the author mentions thirteen faults of a sentence, out of which
(1) the first is fanfaat.
Two vowels combined or a vowel and a consonant joined together or two consonants joined together form a fe. If two vowels are brought together without joining (even when it is so sanctioned by grammarians ) it is a fault. If the Sandhi is deliberately dropped, then there is a still greater fault.
For instance, in the verse 206 da, though perfectly grammatical, is bad.
In sentences in which fear i. e. joining vowels or consonants is necessary, it is bad not to join them.
Even the feet of a verse yield to this rule of Sandhi. There is, however, a choice as to the joining of vowels or consonants at the end of the second foot.
37 ta is the next fault. When the words, even when used in their ordinary senses, suggest some sense which is loathesome or indecent, there is 343 tasca.
For instance, in 208 विरेचकम् is an adjective of नृत्य and it means one in which the movemens of the neck and other limbs are absent. 37arafate i. e. a bad dancing master. fazan, however, has another sense which means 'one that makes a man purge' and as such is loathe: some. Similarly in 811912fe, the word a means 'a sexual act' and hence the word is indecent.
