11*It is probable that the root ‘yujir' in the sense of connection as given in
Pāṇini's list of roots is a root-form derived later from the noun form yoga
(yoking ), or that yoga also was originally formed from 'yujiryoge' but as
yoga had taken a technical meaning in Pāṇini's time he made a confusion
and invented a fanciful root ' yuja' in the sense of concentration. (Ibid., pp.
