8. ŠANSATĀCCHATIBHYO DINIR VĀ/ VIII. i. 141//
On the Päņinian Sūtra 'Samkhyāyāņ samjñāsamghasütrādhyayanesu (P. V. i. 58) there is a vārttika, viz., 'Sansator dinis chandasi' and 'Vimsateś ceti vaktavyam'. Bhojadeva seems to have included the latter varttika by mentioning the ending 'Sati' in the Sūtra. Although this sūtra belongs to the Vedic usages as is evident from the vārttika, Bhojadeva has by oversight included it in the Fifth Adhyāya as sūtra (B. V. ii. 65), which would restrict it to Laukika lisage only. Since it is not included in this eighth Adhyaya, it should be placed between Bhojadeva's sutras "Tadasya parimānam (B. VIII. i, 141) and 'Saptano'ñ varge (B. VIII. i. 142), giving the number as above and the serial numbers of the subsequent sūtras should be changed accordingly.
9. NAH SAMKHYAYA ASAMKHYĀDER MAT// VIII. i. 148//
Panini has the sūtra 'Nantad asamkhyader mat (P. V. ii. 49). In the scheme of Bhojadeva, the Sūtra is adopted as 'Nah samkhyaya asamkhyadeh' at B. VIII. i. 148 as per the reading of Dr. Chintamani. In view of the Paninian sutra "That ca cchandasi (P. V. ii. 50) and its interpretation by Kašika, viz., Cakärät pakse mad api bhavati/... Mat-Parcamam indriyam asya'pakrāman/', the mention of 'Mat the Agama, is expected here. The reading of the sutra, thus necds to be emended as shown above.
10. PÜRAŅE THAD VĀ// VIII. i. 149//
In view of the Paninian sūtra “That ca cchandasi (P. V. ii. 50) and its interpretation quoted above, the reading "Pūrane thad va paripanthipariparinau paryavasthatari (B. VIII. i. 149) needs to be split into Purane thad va' and the rest as a separate sutra, since the later is evidently based on the Paninian sutra "Chandasi paripanthi-pariparinau paryavasthatari (P. V. ii. 89).
11. ANASOR NAPUMSAKĀT TATPURUSĀT TAJ VÃ|| VIII. i. 169/
The Pāṇinian sūtra in question reads 'Anasantān napussakāc chandasi (P. V. iv. 103). The sutra expects the Anuvrtti of 'tatpuruşat' and 'Tac'. The värttika 'Anasantan napumsakāc chandasi vā-vacanam' on this sutra makes the injunction optional. The reading "Aso napumsakad bhaj vā (B. VIII. i. 168) of Dr. Chintamani is thus highly corrupt and needs to be entended as shown above.
