[On the form] liḍ: [the affix] kvip comes after lih 'in tasting'. In liṭsu, liṭtsu: by jaśtva there is ḍ for ḍha; for that, by cartva via "khari ca" (8.4.54), there is ṭa; because that is unaccomplished [with respect to 8.3.157], dhuṭ comes by "ḍaḥ si" (8.3.157); [then] cartva [yields] the consonant t. The prohibition of retroflexion occurs by "na padāntāṭṭoḥ" (8.4.42). But the rule 'cayo dvitīyāḥ' does not apply here, because cartva is unaccomplished. By this, the statement made by commentators explaining the older grammarian's text "and those abbreviatory designations are forty-one", that there is a pair of forms liṭsu and liṭhsu with ṭa and ṭha, is refuted. And thus in the Prātiśākhya as well, in the verse: "Some say that a first stop followed by an unvoiced spirant, not occurring at the end of a pada, becomes a second stop", the qualification 'not occurring at the end of a pada' and so on is consistent.
[On] "dāderdhātordhaḥ" (8.2.32): the word dhātoḥ is repeated. There, with the intention that the one [word dhātoḥ] that is extra indicates the time of the original enunciation, he says: "in original enunciation". He asks the purpose of the repetition: "Why in original enunciation?" The purpose is the avoidance of under-application and over-application, as he says with [the words] starting with "adhok".
[On] "ekāco baśo bhaṣ..." (8.2.37): [On the text stating that] 'jhali' has ceased to apply: As for what the older grammarian said—"that which has the technical name prātipadika, however, when a jhal follows and at the end of a pada"—that is merely erroneous; for that would entail non-accomplishment [of forms] such as adhok, adhog, and ajarghāḥ; also because the mention of a prātipadika is not under discussion; and because the presence of jhal serves no causal purpose there, since [the substitution] is already accomplished in dhugbhyām, dhukṣu, etc., by 'padānte' alone. What his grandson also explained—"when a jhal follows, only that which has the technical name prātipadika", and so on—that too is groundless and useless, and must be disregarded. [On the text] "bhaṣ-substitute": the meaning is that because jaśtva and cartva are unaccomplished, [bhaṣ-substitution occurs] strictly prior to both of them. [On the text] "ṣatva and cartva": the meaning is that because cartva is unaccomplished, retroflexion comes first, and after that cartva.
[On] "vā druha..." (8.2.33): Since druha begins with da, [ha-substitution] is invariably applicable; for the others it is not applicable; thus this is an option in both cases. Objection: druha and the others are recited in the divādi class in this very order; let it simply be "vā druhādīnām"; inside the divādi sub-class, radhādi is a sub-class within the puṣādi sub-class, and let druhādi be a sub-class within that. [Reply:] Not so. For if that were the case, it would not apply in yaṅ-luk, because of the prohibition "and what is specified by a gaṇa". [Examples:] dodhruk, dodhruṭ.
