sau iti kim idam prathamaikavacanasya grahaṇam āhosvit saptamībahuvacanasya .

kutaḥ sandehaḥ .

samānaḥ nirdeśaḥ .

saptamībahuvacanasya grahaṇam .

katham jñāyate .

yat ayam na gośvansāvavarṇa iti gośunoḥ pratiṣedham śāsti .

katham kṛtvā jñāpakam .

yadi prathamaikavacanasya grahaṇam syāt gośunoḥ pratiṣedhavacanam anarthakam syāt .

nanu ca arthasiddhiḥ eva eṣā .

anugṛhītāḥ smaḥ yaiḥ asmābhiḥ prathamaikavacanam āsthāya gośunoḥ pratiṣedhaḥ na vaktavyaḥ bhavati .

bhavet pratiṣedhaḥ na vaktavyaḥ doṣāḥ tu bhavanti .

tatra kaḥ doṣaḥ .

svinā khinā .

antodāttatvam na prāpnoti .

svinkhinau na staḥ .

uktam etat ekākṣarāt kṛtaḥ jāteḥ saptamyām ca na tau smṛtau .

svavān , khavān iti eva bhavitavyam .

iha tarhi yādbhyām , yābhiḥ iti na sidhyati .

tasmāt saptamībahuvacanasya grahaṇam .
