3.2.30

atraiva gurumatamāha -
aśvālambhanaśāstrasya dantyatālavyasaṃśayāt |
amātve'dantyanirṇītirāptoktavyākṛterbalāt ||

On this very topic, he states the view of the Guru [Prabhākara]:
Because of doubt between a dental and a palatal [sibilant] in the scriptural text concerning the seizure of a horse,
If it lacks authority, the determination of the non-dental [palatal] follows from the power of the grammar declared by authoritative persons.

In "He should seize a horse [aśvam]," if the sound lying between the letter 'a' and the letter 'va' is dental [asvam], the meaning becomes: "'Sva' means wealth; he should seize a destitute person lacking that."
