And this is clear in the Bhāṣya and Kaiyaṭa under the rule \*nājjhalau\* (Pāṇ. 1.1.10). But the older grammarian is deficient in not mentioning the continuation of the option. As for the fact that commentators have cited the Bhāṣya in order to agree with it, intending the rule \*śaro 'ci\* (Pāṇ. 8.4.49) as an indicator—"The option continues; since this rule prevents doubling before an ac when a śar follows"—that is not so; because in the Bhāṣya immediately following that, the stated indicator is refuted. For if elision were obligatory, the doubling by \*aco rahābhyām…\* (Pāṇ. 8.4.46) would be an exception to elision. And thus the purposefulness of \*śaro 'ci\* is entirely clear. Therefore, for the continuation of the option, another indicator must be sought, or one must simply rely on the explanation of the Bhāṣyakāra and others. "Of doubling and elision": as for the claim that by the force of the prescription of doubling, only two would remain, that is not so; because since elision is optional, doubling is purposeful in the alternative \[pakṣa\]. "Having three forms of dh": however, when there is renewed doubling by the other rule, \*yaṇo mayo…\*, it should be understood that there are even four forms of dh. - [Previous: p53](https://indike.org/pramana/in.vedanga.vyakarana.prakriya.siddhantakaumudi!praudhamanorama~en-mt.p53) - [Next: p55](https://indike.org/pramana/in.vedanga.vyakarana.prakriya.siddhantakaumudi!praudhamanorama~en-mt.p55) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.vedanga.vyakarana.prakriya.siddhantakaumudi!praudhamanorama~en-mt.p54](https://indike.org/pramana/in.vedanga.vyakarana.prakriya.siddhantakaumudi!praudhamanorama~en-mt.p54) · Pramāṇa
