On *kvinpratyayasya kuḥ* (Pāṇini 8.2.62): on "at the end of a *pada*": as for what the older grammarians said, namely, "before a *jhal* consonant"—that is incorrect, because *jhali* is not proximate and it would be pointless. As for what his grandson explained—that even if *jhali* is continued from *jhalo jhali* by frog-jump (*maṇḍūkapluti*), there is no flaw whatsoever—that is incorrect, because it would over-apply in cases like *spaṣṭa*.
On *khan*: he who limps (*khañjati*) is *khan*; from the root *khaj-* meaning 'in impairment of movement'.
On *parau vrajeḥ*: on "and lengthening": as for what was explained by the older grammarian, namely, "the affix *viṇ*, and *vṛddhi* of the penultimate on account of having the marker *ṇ*"—that is incorrect, because in both the five-chapter and the ten-chapter *Uṇādi*, only *kvip* and lengthening are prescribed by this rule.
On *skoḥ* (Pāṇini 8.2.29): he explains that the word *saṃyoga-* with its genitive ending dropped is qualified by the two ending in *jhal*, stating: "at the end of a *pada*", etc. One who roasts (*bhṛjjati*) is *bhṛṭ*; the affix is *kvip*. On "of *s*": because the substitution of *jaś* consonants (*jaśtva*) is unaccomplished (*asiddha*), the substitution of *ścu* consonants (*ścutva*) takes place first; this is the meaning. By this, the contrary statement of the older grammarian is refuted.
