In Griffiths, for deriving the bound charges for a given polarization P , the formula used is the general formula for dipoles .i.e ( equation 4.9)
{Here the potential at r is calculated due to the dipole at r' )
V(r) = ∫\frac{x.P(r')}{X^2}d\tau'
Here X = r - r' , and x = unit vector in the direction of X
Then it is written that \frac{x}{X^2} = \nabla'(1/X).
since X = (r-r') , and ∇' = (∂/∂r')\widehat{r'} ...
Shouldn't ∇'(1/X) be (1/X^2)\widehat{r'} ?
