काशिका वृत्ति (आचार्य वामन एवं जयादित्य - अष्टाध्यायी सूत्र-वृत्ति सम्पूर्ण सान्वय सटीक)

text of Kāśikā, it is definitely प्रैषादिलक्षणो! Wait, wait, look at the image again: Could it be प्रैषादिलक्षणो? Let's look at the letters: प्रै (clearly प्रै) षा (clearly षा) दि (clearly दि) Next: looks like ल? No, it has a horizontal bar on top... wait, looks like स? Wait, look at the character after it: it has रू? No, it's a smudge. But प्रैषादिलक्षणो is the universally known text of Kāśikā 3.1.26! Wait, let me double check if any edition has प्रैषादिरूपो: "प्रैषादिरूपो व्यापारो हेतुमान्"? No, "प्रैषादिलक्षणो हेतुमान्" is the exact phrase in Kāśikā, Nyāsa, and Padamañjarī: "प्रैषादिलक्षण इति । प्रैषादिर्लक्षणं यस्य स तथोक्तः ।" (Nyāsa). Nyāsa explicitly glosses प्रैषादिलक्षण इति! So the text is unquestionably प्रैषादिलक्षणो! The type is just slightly worn/ink-blotted.
