incorrect.--The Pandits who have published Pāṇini, supply
in their comm. on VIII. 3. 86. the word anyatarasyām (= vā)
from the preceding Sūtra, and construe thus, besides abhi-
niṣṭāna, an optional form abhinistāna; Patanjali and his
comm. have no gloss on this Sūtra, but neither the Kāśikā
nor the Siddhāntak. admit of an option in the Sūtra 86., nor
is a form abhinistāna given by these works or in the Dhātu-
comm. of Mādhava, Maitreya &c., or in the Dhātupārāyaṇa of
Hemach. s. r. stan.] E. stan with nis and abhi, kṛt aff. ghañ.
