Dear Rishi, 

Thank you for your reply to my previous query and to Peter’s review. I think it 
is good for the advancement of our knowledge that we keep the discussion going 
in an academic manner.

Let me take this opportunity to ask one more simple question. 

How do you explain the fact/significance of A 1.4.2 having being placed exactly 
after A 1.4.1, with which begins ‘the one name section’ (ekasaṃjñādhikāra). It 
seems to me that this very positioning of A 1.4.2 amply indicates its intended 
function and the domain in which the rule is to operate. If A 1.4.2 is a 
metarule that can work, if necessary, at any given stage of a derivation, we 
would naturally expect such a rule to have been placed, together with other 
such metarules, in the first quarter of the first chapter of the Aṣṭādhyāyī. I 
think this point has already been made by some other scholars on this list. I 
would like to know what you think. Or do you touch on this matter somewhere in 
your thesis?

Yūto
