Medhātithi’s commentary (manubhāṣya):
When the wind blows with force, a sound is heard, which is produced by the impact of another (contrary) wind; this is what is called the ‘air audible by the ear.’ That which is heard by the ears is called ‘audible by the ear;’ the compound being between the instrument (ear) and the noun formed by a verbal affix. The term ‘ear’ is added for the purpose of indicating a particular condition, because hearing is always by means of ears. The meaning is that ‘when the sound of wind is heard, study should not be carried on.’

Ganganatha Jha 1920, Manu-Smṛti: The Laws of Manu with the Bhāṣya of Medhātithi

‘Dust-whorl’—that which brings together dust; ‘pāṃsu’ meaning dust; this is mentioned only as indicative of the wind that produces it (i.e., the dust-storm). The meaning is that ‘after it has rained, whenever such a wind blows, that time shall be regarded as unfit for study.’

Ganganatha Jha 1920, Manu-Smṛti: The Laws of Manu with the Bhāṣya of Medhātithi

‘Versed in the rules of teaching,’—who are conversant with the rules regulating the practice of teaching.—(102)
