See the Introduction for the similarity of this verse and verse 1.5 of the
Kavikalpalatā of Deveśvara.
[^18a]. See the Introduction for a discussion about the name of the author
of the S.K.U., his father and ancestors.
[^18b]. See item III in the Introduction.
[^19]. All the solutions to some of the linguistic problems offered by our
author in this work are based on standard works in Sanskrit grammar. These
are all scattered. A good deal of labour and intelligence were expended
by our author in extracting the necessary answers from the scattered mines
of useful information. Our author had succeeded in his efforts to a great
extent. The readers will be delighted in our author's treatment of grammar
"as an applied science" and not as a fundamental science (as some theoreti-
cians would). The readers will also be glad to know about a number of
puzzling usages culled from the works of well-known poets, and the interest-
ing answers. See the Introduction.
[^19a]. This is the 69th verse pūrvapīṭhikā according to the Northern read-
ing. The printed edn. (Poona O.S.no. 86; 1946) has the reading as :
dvijarājayas tāḥ. All the MSS. of S.K.U. read dvijarājanāryo.
[^20]. The printed edition reads :
vaiśyaś ca sevakajanāḥ.
What is given in the text is the reading in the MSS. of the S.K.U.
[^21]. The printed edn. reads :
...nṛpasevakāś cety anye
pradudruvur aho vidhir evam uktvā.
The MSS. of the S.K.U. read what is given in the text, (without iti and
without sandhi).
[^22]. This verse is quoted by our author as an illustration for the absence of
sandhi between two uncompounded words in metric lines, where sandhi is
regarded as compulsory (nitya, excepting at the end of the half) by Vāmana,
Mammaṭa, and others who counted the sandhyabhāva to be a doṣa known as
visandhi.
