[INDOLOGY] FW: Can this be true?

[Madhav Deshpande]

In contrast with Patañjali, many modern scholars have argued that
originally the rule "vipratiṣedhe paraṃ kāryam" was intended to apply only
within the ekasaṃjñādhikāra prescribed by the previous rule "ā kaḍārād ekā
saṃjñā." While Rishi Popat disagrees with Patañjali, he still seems to take
the rule as applying across the entire Aṣṭādhyāyī. Popat has an interesting
suggestion, but I am not yet convinced of his understanding of paratva. I
would like to hear from my Guru, Professor Cardona.
