At option the second [vowel is .cut off] from the dissimilar 

 [vowel.] 



On account of a dissimilar* vowel the second vowel is elided at 

 option : [for example] panamef panime. 

 JSandhussa iwa na upeti'tidha. 

 Kwachasawannan lutte. 



Sare lutte para sarassa kwachi asawanno hotiti i u ichche 

 tesan thanasanna e o. 

 Bandhussewa nopeti. 



Take as examples bandhussa iwa, na upeti. 



Sometimes after the elision [the second vowel -takes the form J 

 of a dissimilar [vowel.] 



After the elision of the vowel for the second vowel sometimes 

 there is [substituted] a dissimilar J [vowel,] therefore for these 

 two i u are substituted e o, having their origin partially in the 

 same organ § : [thus] bandhussewa, nopeti. 



Tatra ayan yani idha bahu upakaran. saddha idha tathd 

 upaman tyetasmin. 



Dirhan. 



Sare lutte paro saro kwachi thanasannan % dighan yatj. 

 tatrayan yanidha bah upakaran saddhidha tathupaman. 



* The vowels called " similar" tp each, other are : a and a : i and i ? 

 ii and u. 



f " Paname" is the result of the combination of pana and ime, the 

 " para saro" i being elided. Panime is the result of the combination 

 the " pera saro" a being elided. 



% This substitution can 6nly take place when the lf para sara" elided is 

 a or a. Vide Wilson's Sansk. Gram : p. 9. And Rupasiddhi — " Etthacha 

 satipi hettha waggahane kwachiggahana karanato awanne ewa lutte 

 idha wutta widhi hotiti datthabban." Why repeat " sometimes" when 

 sometimes is already repeated once ? because this substitution only 

 occurs when the a class has been elided.

*j[ I have translated the word thanasannan " proximate," the literal 

 meaning being " having their origin partially in the same organ."
