and towards the function the vivaksā will have in the grammatical technique of the Middle Ages. Thus the fact that the second part of the Kāśikā is later than the first remains demonstrated, just as the existence of different authors is demonstrated.
Philology can make its voice heard where history does not shed sufficient light and where textual comparisons are not convincing.

We may attempt to group all the occurrences of the term vivaksā and related terminology in the first five adhyāyas of the Kāśikāvịtti under seven headings 16. They will naturally not be watertight compartments but broadly overlapping areas. The complete list of the occurrences grouped under the seven headings is found in the Appendix at the end of this article.
Now follows a definition of the headings with selected examples for each of them.
Let us establish the first heading, 1) in the most general way possible, as 'the desire to express or utter something.' It is indeed difficult to find, in a grammatical context, something that one wants to express or'utter which does not at the same time have a grammatical connotation. The most satisfactory example seems to be found in that 'desire to faithfully reproduce a sound in the vitti under 1. 1. 16, which is, freely translated, the sense of anukāryānukaranayorbhedasyāvivakṣitatvāt.
After all, even the desire to express a meaning not provided for by a sūtra' is inseparably linked to the other face of the coin, that of the desire to express a meaning provided for by a sūtra', with the consequent application of the same. We would therefore also place the examples for the desire to express meanings not provided forby the rules' under the second heading.

2) The desire to express a meaning provided for or not provided for by the rules', a meaning, it should be noted, which can be analysed according to grammatical categories, concepts, and terminology. Here are included the paraphrases of the text of the sūtras, which more fully explain the meaning provided for, that is the one wanted or not wanted to be expressed, and the
