 Systems of Sanskrit Grammar § 18 - ] noticed over 1,500 in about 4,000 vārtikas. We must add to these the considerable number of cases where Kätyā- yana has criticised Panini's rules in his Pratiśäkhya. Some of these criticisms he repeats as vārtikas, generally' saying there what he had to say in a more correct form.' 30 Katyayana has not merely stated his doubts and objections in regard to some of Panini's rules, but in most cases has shown how they can be solved or removed. At the same time he always takes care to prove his pro- positions, and when suggesting an alternative course, he always tells us that he does so. Notwithstanding this there are, according to Patañjali's showing, a good many cases where his criticisms are misplaced, or are the result of misunderstanding Panini. Some of the värtikas are written in prose, while others are thrown into a metrical form. In a vast number of cases Kätyāyana has clearly indicated the rules of Panini to which his remarks refer by repeating the sutras verbatim, or with slight changes, or by taking its most importants or introductory word. Cross references to his own vārtikas he gives by 3, or a gaur. Katyāyana, in that he meant to write a criticism on Panini was compelled to adhere to the latter's termino- logy.
