⁹⁸ This is not so, for in the Bháshya to the particular *sútra* of Páṇ. (iv. 3. 105), the Bhállavins are not mentioned. They are, however, mentioned elsewhere in the work, at iv. 2. 104 (here Kaiyaṭa derives them from a teacher Bhallu: *Bhalluná proktam adhíyate*); as a *Bhállaveyo Matsyo rájaputraḥ* is cited in the *Anupada*, vi. 5, their home may have been in the country of the Matsyas; see *I. St.*, xiii. 441, 442. At the time of the Bháshika-Sútra their Bráhmaṇa text was still accentuated, in the same way as the Śatapatha; see Kielhorn, *I. St.*, x. 421.
