Sanskrit Grammarians (4): Bhoja
[Full title: Sanskrit Grammarians and Vāsudevavijaya (4): Bhoja]
Vāsudeva has mentioned Bhoja who is the author of Sarasvatikaṇṭhābharaṇa. Bhoja is a great grammarian in the post-Paṇinian grammatical tradition.
It is at the time of the explanation of the bahvāmpi,[1] Vāsudeva has included the opinion of Bhoja. The word can be expanded as bahvyaḥ āpo yeṣu | Where there have water in plenty. In this word, the samāsānta affix as per the rule ṛkpūrabdhūḥpathāmā'nakṣe (5/4/74) is transient.

samāsāntāgamasaṃjñājñāpakagaṇanañnirdiṣṭānyanityanīti bhojaḥ |[2]
