"Erroneous": to explain: in the mantra "āsno vṛkasya vartikāmabhīke", the meaning is 'from the mouth', because of propriety, and because of agreement with another mantra: "vṛkasya cidvartikāmantarāsyāt". Likewise also in "havyā juhvāna āsani", "āsanyaṃ prāṇamūcuḥ", etc. And the commentary in the Veda-bhāṣyas is precisely so. Therefore, it is to be noted that Haradatta also exposed the erroneous nature of the Kāśikā.
"allopo'naḥ" (Pā. Sū. 6.4.134): Here the older grammarians say: there would be elision of the [vowel] a of an aṅga having bha-designation ending in an. That being so, in words like 'takṣṇā' elision of even the [vowel] a of the consonant t would occur. If it is explained, however, as 'of the [vowel] a of an of an aṅga having bha-designation', then it would occur in [forms] like 'anasā, manasā'. Even if it is explained through device-repetition or the like as 'of the [vowel] a of an belonging to a bha ending in an', there is still overextension in [forms] like 'anastakṣṇā'; therefore he explains: 'aṅgāvayava...' and so forth. The specific affix implied by 'bhasya' and the aṅga—these two qualify an. But an [qualifies] the [vowel] a; therefore the stated fault does not arise; this is the purport. And this is clear in the Bhāṣya under the rule "ṣyaṅaḥ samprasāraṇam".
"raṣābhyām" (Pā. Sū. 8.4.1): Although single-pada status is obtained merely from the capacity [of the word] 'pade', the inclusion of 'samāna' is in order that [the operation] occurs where it is entirely identical, that is to say, unbroken; by this, it does not occur in a compound: rāmanāma.
On "yūṣṇaḥ": yūṣa means broth, because we see: 'Mudga and āmalaka broth, however, is a purgative, appetizer, and digestive'.
