The affix thāl comes after the words kim etc. -- kiṃsarvanāmabahubhyo'dvyādibhyaḥ [[5.3.2]] when we speak of a kind or manner of being.,
The sutra 5.3.2, is to be read into this. The anuvritti of सप्तम्याः and काले ceases. The word प्रकार means the differentiating quality distinguishing a species among the genus : it means 'sort', 'kind', 'mode', 'manner' &c. Thus तेन प्रकारेण = तथा 'so, in that manner'. Similarly यथा, सर्वथा ॥ The affix जातीयर् taught in 5.3.69 has also the same force, with this difference that jatiyar applies to words which denote things possessing such a quality (प्रकारयाच्च, while thal denotes mode itself. Therefore, one does not debar the other, so that we have forms like, तथाजातीयः and यथाजातीयः ॥,
