"For everywhere the sentence-meaning is indeed indicated: this is settled."
Now, if it should be stated according to the manner of the Naiyāyikas? That also is not correct, because instances like bahupaṭavaḥ would not be established.
If it is said that the mention of taddhita refers to that which is qualified by it? No, because of overapplication to cases like pacataki. Moreover, in this way, by the metarule regarding the mention of a kṛt, overapplication to mūlakenopadaṃśam and the like is utterly unavoidable; so let this rest for now.
The letter ca is for the purpose of collecting what was not stated. By this, the statement "The technical name prātipadika must be stated for a meaningless particle" is rendered obsolete. This is for the sake of those which do not even have an indicated meaning. He cuts down.
