It appears to me that, for these reasons, Profr. Goldstücker’s arguments that the Prātiçākhyas are more recent than Pāṇini, and are intended to supplement his Grammar, do not apply to the Ṛigvedaprātiçākhya; of it, we probably have a revision subsequent to Pāṇini, but, there can be little doubt, the greater part of the text and the matter contained in this work are far older²). His arguments have much greater force in respect of the three other treatises which belong to the same class³).
