Difference of meaning from a circumflex accent is, for example: in "bhrātṛvyaḥ", [with one accent] the meaning of an external word is understood as "a brother's son", not "a rival". Difference of meaning from a monotone is, for example: "Come, O boy Devadatta3!" / "Agni is the head, the summit of heaven, this lord of the earth; he stirs the waters' seeds..." [...] / From hearing [remotely], for example: [...] calling from afar in a sacrificial rite [...] is joined in sandhi. Because of residing there, its accent is also called pragṛhya. Difference of meaning from that is, for example: "ālīke āgacchāmi tāmitaḥ", where the meaning understood is "one should come as if with two female friends", / not [...] from the arrival. By the mention of "and the like," those to be conjoined, the closed, and the lengthened are included. There, difference of meaning from what is to be conjoined is, for example: "āṅgirasaḥ". / Caesura is threefold: word caesura [...]. Among these, the chain is, for example: / "kāntāratarutalāsitamṛgayuvaracitāntarāharatyaṭavī" ("The forest, filled in its interior by excellent hunters resting beneath wilderness trees, captivates"). / Here, when the division of words is "kāntā-rata-ruta-lasita-mṛgayu-vara-citā antarā harati aṭavī", then it means: "In its interior filled with foremost hunters delighted by the moaning cries of their beloveds' lovemaking, the forest captivates." / This is called a "chain" because of its mutual interlocking like a chain. The split is, for example: [...] the sentence is made for the sake of censure; this division of a word into two is the "split". The transposition is, for example: "kalikāmadhugarhaṇā" is analyzed without modification [of consonants]: the understanding of the meaning is "a trickling of budding nectar"; / but when it is divided as "kalikāmadhuk arhaṇā", then it means: "worship indeed is the wish-fulfilling cow in the Kali age." This is a transposition upon the exchange of the phonemes 'ga' and 'ka'. The broken caesura is, for example: / "paśya salilaṃ payodherdūrasamunmuktaśuktimīnāṅkāntam" ("Behold the water of the ocean, lovely to fish and pearls released from afar"): / the meaning is, "Look upon the water of the ocean, beloved of fish." But when it is divided as "dūrasaṃ unmukta-śukti-mīnāṅka-antam", then the meaning is: "Look upon the water whose taste is unpleasant, which contains cast-out oysters, and whose edges are marked by fish."
