[On] "sulvā": In the option of masculine-like [treatment], yaṇ occurs due to the absence of num. [On] "sulunā": Barring yaṇ by "oḥ supi", num occurs because it is subsequent.
[On] "yadigantam": And this was clarified by Mādhava under the verbal root rā "in the sense of giving", introducing [the discussion] with "atiri brāhmaṇakulam". Others, however, say: The word "sudyo" has an expressed masculine gender; that very word now ends in an ik-vowel, because that which is modified in one part is not something else; therefore masculine-like treatment does occur. And likewise, masculine-like treatment was exemplified in the Rūpamālā and other works. Therefore, in the case of neuters ending in ec-vowels, masculine-like treatment does not exist according to Mādhava's view, but according to another view it does exist. Hence, even what was exemplified by the older grammarian—"pradyavā", "prarāyā", "sunāvā", and so on—is not very faulty.
Thus ends the section on vowel-ending neuter nouns in the Prauḍhamanoramā composed by the venerable Bhaṭṭoji Dīkṣita.
