† Of these phases we have probably traces in the *grantháḥ Siśukrandíyaḥ* [to this Goldstücker in his *Páṇini*, p. 28, takes exception, doubtless correctly; see *I. St.*, v. 27], *Yamasabhíyaḥ*, *Indrajananíyaḥ*, mentioned by Páṇini, iv. 3. 88; and in the *Ákhyánas* and *Chánaráṭas*, which, according to Páṇini, vi. 2. 103, are to be variously designated according to the different points of the compass. The term Chánaráṭa still remains unintelligible to me; see *I. St.*, i. 153. (For the rest, as stated by the Calcutta scholiast, this rule, vi. 2. 103, is not interpreted in the Bháshya of Pataṁjali; it may possibly therefore not be Páṇini's at all, but posterior to the time of Pataṁjali.)—The word *grantha* may have reference either to the outward fastening (like the German *Heft*, *Band*) or to the inner composition: which of the two we have to suppose remains still undecided, but I am inclined to pronounce for the former.
