⌊A conspectus of the divisions in tabular form follows. In each of the two tables, the first line gives the number of the anuvāka, and that of the paryāya as counted from the beginning of the anuvāka; the second line gives the number of the paryāya as counted from the beginning of the book; the third gives the number of such divisions (gaṇas: p. 472) of a paryāya as show minor subdivisions; and these subdivisions are shown in the fourth line of the first table and in the fourth and fifth lines of the second table (the subdivisions of the fourteenth paryāya being called vacanāni: p. 472). In each table, the last line gives the number of divisions of 71. paryāya which are not further subdivided.—Observe that the statements of the two tables are all contained in the text of the Old Anukr., excepting those concerning the number of gaṇas (the third line in each table), which statements are taken from the summations noted by some mss. at the end of the gaṇa-paryāyas, and excepting the "sums" in the last column, and excepting the distribution of the avasānarcas of paryāyas 13 and 11 into 2 categories (as explained in the fourth paragraph of the next page).

Note that the "fourteen" and "eleven" assigned respectively to paryāyas ii. 6 (or 13) and ii. 4 (or 11) represent non-coördinate divisions, as explained below, p. 772.—Some mss. sum up the avasānarcas of the first anuvāka as 112. This agrees with the Old Anukr. (and the table). At the end of the second, we find the summation: gaṇas, 20; gaṇa-avasānarcas, 16; vacana-avasānarcas, 24; paryāya-avasānarcas, 71; in all, 16 + 24 + 71 = 111. This agrees with the table except in the last item, 71, which exceeds the 68 of the table by 3; and the sum for the whole book, (112 + 111 =) 223, shows the same excess.⌋

⌊Differences between the two editions in the divisions of the paryāyas. There are no differences between them in the paryāyas proper (as distinguished from the gaṇa-paryāyas), i.e. in those eleven paryāyas which have no subdivided divisions, to wit, paryāyas 1, 3, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 16, 17, 18. But for 15 and 16 and 17, this statement needs to be modified by rehearsal of the fact that SPP. prefixes to yò ‘sya of each of the avasānarcas of the Berlin ed. from 15. 3 to 17. 7, and also to the 3 remaining
