What is it that strikes us most in Päl).ini, the ancient pioneer of grammar
and auditive witness of the linguistic facts, wh en we compare him with
Delbrück, investigator trainoo by modern methods of research and a great
reader of literary documents? What strikes us then, when taking account
of difference and agreement, is the trustworthiness of Päl).ini, his power of
observation, his love of language, his deep intellectual and emotional
understanding .

The Käsikä annotates su. 8, 1, 17 by the words padäd ity ayam adhikáral}
präk 'kutsane ca supy agoträdau', which is right since sütra 69
contains an exception to the condition required by the adhikära and the
following sutras 70 sqq. are not directly connected with the adhikära itself.
but must be read in connexion with special rules of the section Ba sqq. (see
e.g. the examples given by Böhtlingk and in the Käsikä to su. 72).
§ 65. Th e co m pos i t ion 0 f a d h y. 8 p ä. 1.
The synoptical table of § 62 shows us that the construction of the päda
is based in the first place on logical principles, the main division being A.
ämrec;lita and its accent, and B. the sentence-accent, which latter subject is
divided into the vocative and cognate facts. the personal pronoun. and the
finite verb in connexion with prefixes and particles.
