the Articulation, (2) the Order of the Articulations, due to the Order of the Conjunctions and Disjunctions of the Palate, etc., indicated by its own *Universal', becomes the cause of the Order in the manifestation of the Letters ; and this last becomes the cause of the comprehension of the meaning.
In some places, the reading is bhāgāh'; under which the meaning would be as follows Just as the parts of the Actions of Moving About and the like, which appear in a certain Order of Sequence, become the basis of usage, when they are marked by a Universal' or by some other property, similarly the Order of Sequence in the Palate, etc. becomes part of the usage.
Some people read Kramānusmrtirēvam syat' in place Kramānuorttirêvam syāl '); which would be construed as follows:-Just as the parts of the Actions of Moving About, etc. are remembered as marked by the Universal, etc.,-similarly in the case of the Palate, etc. also there would be remembrance of the Order, as marked by the Universal, etc.-(2296)

tila-ETERNALITY OF WORDS, 300].—(2297)
COMMENTARY.
Individuals 'stands for the particular Articulations. The partscomponents-of the Articulations-which appear in a certain order,-are extremely subtle ; hence there can be no usage through them; consequently the properties of the Universal-such as eternality and the rest-become recognised-definitely known-as the causes of the manifestation of the Word-Sound.
Question - What if that is so ?
Answer :- It is through this, etc. etc. Even though the Letters are all-pervading, yet they appear as if in an Order of Sequence, on account of the Order of the Articulations which always appear in a certain order.-(2297)
The following text sums up the discussion :
