As regards the words occurring in these Gaṇas, I have on a previous occasion expressed my opinion that though it is not safe to attribute a whole Gaṇa to Pâṇini (and in several cases we have clear indications that some of the words were inserted in later times), still the first three words might without mistake be taken to be his. This was objected to by Professor Weber. But as my reasons were, as I thought, obvious, I did not think it necessary to defend my view. I may, however, here state that since Pâṇini refers to these Gaṇas in his Sûtras by using the first word in the list with âdi, equivalent to "and others," added to it, and since he uses the plural of the noun so formed, and the plural of a noun cannot be used unless three individuals at least of the class are meant, it is proper that we should understand him to be thinking of the first and two words at least more. This observation is meant to be applicable generally. In the present case, however, the expression Bhargâdi forms a part of the compound, and the plural is not actually used, though it is clearly implied. - [Previous: c8.s3.51](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s3.51) - [Next: c8.s3.53](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s3.53) - [Up: c8.s3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s3.52](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c8.s3.52) · Pramāṇa
