Guest guest Posted September 5, 2001 Report Share Posted September 5, 2001 Dear Harry, The word pratIhAra with meaning 'doorkeeper' in the light of the PANini sUtra 6.3.122 is not un-Paninian. It will be quite clear, if you understand the significance of the term 'bahulam'. This term means: In some cases (i) the rule is applicable when the conditions required are fulfilled (ii) the rule is applicable even when the conditions required are not fulfilled (iii) the rule is not applicable even when the conditions required are fulfilled (iv) the rule is optionally applicable (v) certain grammatical operation takes place which is not at all prescribed by the concerned rule. Best wishes.
