The methods and mannerisms of composition in Pär:tini's A~tädhyayi 55
Liebich to surmise that the sütra 'dhätolJ.' (3, 1,91) was the original beginning
of the total work, The fact that sü, 2, 2, 18-22 is so closely inter~
woven with the 3d adhyaya that the former passage could not be understood
without the latter, and the latter, if read without the former, would
miss the bridge leading up to its effects as described in div. II 1), is
already sufficient to prove Liebich's hypothesis to be erroneous.
§ 77. A n a I y sis of adhy. 1 pa. 1.
1. I, 1-19. The mutation of roots and stems, Sü. 1-6, gU1)a and vrddhi;
the anubandhas (su. 5) k and Ti forbidding any strengthening of roots
(cf. sü. 4) in deverbative formations; the passage has of ten a bridgecharacter;
e.g. kta introduced in div. I B (3, 4,71 etc.) is by 1. 1,5 exempt
from the rule of div. 11 (7, 3, 84). Sü. 7-10 de fine phonological terms;
su. 11-19 define the pragrhyatva and enumerate the cases.
1, 1, 20-43. General analysis. Classes of words (20,23 sq., 27 sqq., 37)
and of suffixes (22, 26, 42 sq.); technical names and indications of these
groups and rules bearing on them (e.g. 28-36). Su. 20 deals with conjugation,
su. 22 with derivation, the sütras 23-36 with declension, su. 37-41
with indeclinability and 42 sq. again with declension. The irregularities of
arrangement: 10. su. 21 to be interpreted as an associative insertion (cf.
da-d-malJ.) or rather as a distinctive sütra (§ 71 no. 2) separating su. 20,
deverbative formations from su. 22-36, denominative and declensional
derivation; 20. sü. 42 sq., placed after the treatment of the indeclinables
and so characterised as 'insertion by emergency' (cf. pada-hha-passage
1,4, 14-20, the adhikara-sutra 1, 4, 1 and § 71 no. 4).
1, 1, 44-67. Technical-grammatical development: substitution (ädesa,
45-63), augmentation (ägama, 46 sq.) and rejection (lopa, 60-63)
included; anubandhas, technical terms and forms of expression referring to
these phonological and morphological alterations (64-67). Irregularities
of arrangement: su. 44 is a distinctive insertion; su. 45 is placed before
46 sq. without perspicuous reason.
I, I, 68-75. Further technical expressions. Sü, 73-75, introducing the
term vrddha, have special interest for the theory of denominative nounderivation
(adhy. 4, see Böhtlingk, 11 p. 277* s.v.); the entire passage
68-75 is placed as an associative digression af ter 44-67.
1 pä. 1 with its many paribha~ä- and saJpjfiä-rules has on the whole a
general character.
