Regarding *atvasantasya cādhātoḥ* (P. 6.4.14): here *adhātoḥ* is split as a separate rule. By the force of that, Kaiyaṭa, Haradatta, and others hold that the prohibition applies only to the immediately preceding *as*-ending stem, and not to the stem ending in *atvant*. He shows this very point: "of an *as*-ending stem other than a verbal root".
Regarding *ubhe abhyastam* (P. 6.1.5): although [the meaning] could be established simply through the continuation of *dve*, he explains that the mention of *ubhe* is for the purpose of cognizing an aggregate: "both taken together". Otherwise, in *nenijati*, the high-pitched accent at the beginning [of the reduplicated base] by *abhyastānām ādiḥ* [P. 6.1.189] would apply to each [syllable] alternately.
