PREFIXES—Yāska says that Śākaṭāyana considered the prefixes as mere signs or symbols of meaning (*dyotaka*), but Gārgya held that they carry a meaning of their own (I.3). Pāṇini sees no conflict between these views. Prefixes like *adhi* and *pari* are deemed by him as *anarthaka* (I.4.93), evidently implying, as Patañjali points out, that there were other prefixes which were not devoid of meaning.
