[On] "igyaṇaḥ..." (1.1.44): [On the gloss] "in the place of yaṇ": The meaning is that in the context of operational rules, a technical name to come is resorted to, as in the case of 'weave the cloth'.
[On] "vāha ūṭh" (6.4.132): The word samprasāraṇa continued from "vasoḥ samprasāraṇam" (6.4.131) is a qualifier of ūṭh. Therefore, "alo'ntyasya" (1.1.54) does not apply. As for what was said by the older grammarian, "of the word vāh", that is not the meaning of the sūtra, but is to be interpreted as somehow intended to state the resultant sense. [On the text] "only in the Veda": the meaning is that this is due to the continuation of chandasi from the sūtras "chandasi sahaḥ" and "vahaśca". As for what the older grammarian said, that once ūṭh is performed there is homogeneous lengthening in bhūhaḥ, bhūhā, etc., that contradicts the Mahābhāṣya. To explain: let there be no mention of ūṭh; let samprasāraṇa itself be ordained. When the guṇa of the light penultimate vowel is applied to it, and vṛddhi occurs by "vṛddhireci" (6.1.88), [the form] viśvauhaḥ, etc., is accomplished. This being so, the [explicit] making of [ūṭh] indicates the metarule regarding the externally conditioned operation (bahiraṅgaparibhāṣā). For if that [metarule] exists, the internally conditioned guṇa would not take place because the externally conditioned samprasāraṇa is unaccomplished; so it is established in the Mahābhāṣya. If it is objected that there would be a difference in form when an upapada ends in a non-a vowel or in a prefix ending in a? [We say:] Not so, because on the very strength of the indicator stated by the Bhāṣyakāra, the absence of the suffix ṇvi in such environments is inferred, as Kaiyaṭa, Haradatta, and others say. By this, usages like vāryūhaḥ and prauhaḥ are also rejected. Alternatively, it should be noted that [in such cases] kvip is from the verbal root ūh.
[On] "vasusraṃsu..." (8.2.72): vasu is an affix; therefore that which ends in it is to be understood. The letter s is continued from the sūtra "sasajuṣo ruḥ" (8.2.66). And that is a qualifier only of vasu, not of sraṃsu and dhvaṃsu, because there is no deviation; nor of anaḍuh, because it is impossible—with this in mind, he says: "of that which ends in s and ends in vasu". [On the gloss] "at the end of a pada": The word 'jhali', however, is an error of the older grammarian, because of over-application in srastam and the like.
[On] "saheḥ sāḍaḥ saḥ" (8.3.56):
