Source: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammar

Padavidhi (पदविधि).—An operation prescribed in connection with words ending with case or verbal affixes and not in connection with noun-bases or root-bases or with single letters or syllables. पदविधि (padavidhi) is in this way contrasted with अङ्गविधि (aṅgavidhi) (including प्रातिपदिकविधि (prātipadikavidhi) and धातुविधि (dhātuvidhi)), वर्णविधि (varṇavidhi) and अक्षरविधि (akṣaravidhi), Such Padavidhis are given in Pāṇini's grammar in Adhyāya2, Pādas l and 2 as also in VI.1.158, and in VIII. 1.16 to VIII.3.54 and include rules in connection with compounds, accents and euphonic combinations. When, however, an operation is prescribed for two or more padas, it is necessary that the two padas or words must be syntactically connectible; cf. समर्थः पदविधिः (samarthaḥ padavidhiḥ) P. II.1.1.
