page 432 note 1 I doubt if the St. Petersburg Dictionary, iv, 481, 495,Google Scholar is right in taking paraḥ prepositionally in Pāṇini, viii, 3, 4: anunāsikāt paro 'nusvāraḥ. The explanation of the Kāśikā Vṛtti, though awkward, is not surprising in Pāṇiniās style.

Some of his examples are doubtful, but this one is adequately certain, and the recognition of the principle of attraction is not the least of the services to Vedic scholarship of that admirable scholar, whose premature death has prevented the fulfilment of the work on the Rgveda.
