Abstract
On the basis of Bhate 1989 and Pontillo 2013, A 2.1.1 is assumed to create a variationist system between the phrase mentioned or hinted at in the wording of the single formation rule used to teach taddhitas and the output of the rule itself. This variationist system is hierarchically superordinate to other single optionality phenomena taught by vā, vibhāṣā, anyatarasyām. The present paper aims to understand how this variationist system, which is consequently introduced by A 4.1.82 samarthānām pathamād vā, was rejected by commentators from Patañjali onwards by resorting to a morphologically oriented reading of A 4.1.82.
