² In one case unnoticed by Kielhorn we have evidence of the fact that even before the time of Patañjali, variant wording of the *sūtra* had come to be discussed; *cf*. III.2.134, *Iha kechid-ākver iti sūtraṁ paṭhanti, kechit prāk-kver iti*, *Bhāshya*, II.135. There are some additional variants also to be noticed, *e.g.* *Kāśikā* III.3.78, IV.1.117, VI.1.156, VI.2.134; *Padamañjarī*, IV.3.118, IV.4.88; *Siddhāntakaumudī* V.2.64, V.2.68).
