The word is frequently used in the Mahaabhaasya as referring to the reading आ काडारात् परं कार्यम् (ā kāḍārāt paraṃ kāryam) which is believed to have been an alternative reading to the reading आ कडारादेका संज्ञा (ā kaḍārādekā saṃjñā);cf. ननु च यस्यापि परंकार्यत्वं तेनापि परग्रहणं कर्तव्यम् (nanu ca yasyāpi paraṃkāryatvaṃ tenāpi paragrahaṇaṃ kartavyam); M. Bh. on I.4.1; also भवेदेकसंज्ञाधिकारे सिद्धम् (bhavedekasaṃjñādhikāre siddham) | परंकार्यत्वे तु न सिद्ध्यतिः (paraṃkāryatve tu na siddhyatiḥ) M.Bh. on II. 1.20, II.2.24.
