[On] "ami pūrvaḥ" (Pā. sū. 6.1.107): "amyacīti" means: when an ac (vowel) is in 'am'; that is to say, when an ac is a part of 'am'. Thereby, there is no preceding single substitute [for the vowel] together with the consonant 'm'. Likewise, in cases like "akṣādūhinyām," it should be understood as: when there is an ac in 'ūhinī', and so on; because the continuation of the mention of 'ac' from "iko yaṇaci" is indisputable. And explicit designations here such as "padāsvairibāhyā--" [prove this].
