[On the word] “avāvā”: the author of the Nyāsa, however, states that this prohibition is only general, and on that ground [gives] the form avāvarī. But this is not found in the Mahābhāṣya and elsewhere.
[On the phrase] “optionally ḍāp”: and thus in the dual, three forms occur: bahudhīvaryau, bahudhīvānau, and bahudhīve—such is the sense.
[On the sūtra] “ṭābṛci” (Pā. Sū. 4.1.9): this is an exception to the affix ṅīp obtained by the preceding rule.
[On the phrase] “because of being unaccomplished (asiddhatvāt)”: this is said according to the view of rule-application at the time of operation (kāryakāla-pakṣa). But if the technical name ṣaṭ is applied according to the view of rule-application at the place of enunciating the rule (yathoddeśa-pakṣa), or if the explanation is that [the base] ends in ṣ or n at the time of original enunciation, then—say some—characterizing it as unaccomplished serves no purpose.
