Why it is a table
- 1.3.10 यथासंख्यमनुदेशः समानाम् Two lists of equal length pair up in order (यथासङ्ख्यम्), so टा → इन (रामेण), ङसि → आत् (रामात्), ङस् → स्य (रामस्य); the Kāśikā: आदेशा भवन्ति यथासंख्यम्.

Commentary
After a अङ्ग (stem) ending in अ are substituted इन् for the Instrumental -3rd case ending; आ (आत्) for the Ablative -5th case ending अस् and स्य for the Genitive 6th-Case ending अस्।
Thus वृक्षेण and प्लक्षेण; वृक्षात् and प्लक्षात्; and वृक्षस्य and प्लक्षस्य ॥ After stems not ending in अ we have the original ending, as पत्या, सख्या ॥ Some would have the forms अतिजरसिन and अतिजरसात् from अतिजर ॥ This is on the analogy of अतिजरसैः [See Sutra 9 ante]. Thus अति + जरा = अतिजर 1.2.48. Then by 7.2.101, जरस् is substituted for जर before the vowel-affixes. These forms are not supported however by Patanjali. According to him the forms will be either अतिजरेण, अतिजरात्, or अतिजरसा and अतिजरसः but never अतिजरसिन and अतिजरसात् ॥
