Pañcālapadavṛtti (पञ्चालपदवृत्ति).—The usage or the method of the Pañcālas; the eastern method of euphonic combinations, viz. the retention of the vowel अ (a) after the preceding vowel ओ (o) which is substituted for the Visarga; e. g. यो अस्मै (yo asmai); cf. R. Pr. II. 12; T. Pr. XI. 19. This vowel अ (a) which is retained, is pronounced like a short ओ (o) or अर्ध-ओकार (ardha-okāra) by the followers of the Sātyamugri and Rāṇāyaniya branches of the Sāmavedins; cf. commentary on T. Pr. XI. 19 as also M. Bh. Āhnika 1.
