11. By the time of Ptj. a number of such pairs were seen current. Thus, bhiruka beside P's bhiluka (on 3.2.174), plakşa: praksa (1.433.1), aśvavāla : asvavara, Müladeva: Muradeva, laghusyada: raghusyada, alam: aram, svanguli : svanguri, kapilaka: kapiraka, tilvilka: tilvirika, loman: roman, pāṁsula : pāṁsura, kalman karman, śukla: sukra ( on 8.2.18) and paliyoga: pariyoga (on 8.2.22).
(e) Voicing.
1. P mentions libi side by side with lipi to derive the forms libikara and lipikara (3,2.21).
:
2. The name Patañjali, probably a patronymic from Patañcala Kapya (of BĀrUp 3.3.1, 7.1), bears according to Weber and S. Sen,31 an MIA stamp.
3. Mañcaka is noted by Ptj as corrupted in his time into manjaka (I.14.20, II.201.3).
4. DhP shows ag- (130) beside Vak- (129) in identical sense.
(f) Devoicing
1. As was pointed out by me elsewhere,32 the tendency of devoicing in the following cases: 1, kupya, recorded by P (3.1.114) as an irregular form, derived by Ptj from gup- (II.86.22 );
2. sankara current with P (3.2.14) and Ptj and suggested by Kuṇaravāḍava (who preceded Ptj) to be a corruption from sangara (II.100.8f.)
3. payya-recorded as an irregular form by P ( 3.1.129) is derived by (Kty and) Pij from ma- (II.89.13). If that were correct, could this be regarded as a case of devoicing at the time of P ?
