"In the list beginning with śakandhu": the meaning is that in the domain of the list beginning with śakandhu, a subsequent vowel conforming to their realization must be stated. For this very reason he says: "And that [belongs] to the ṭi segment." If, however, on account of the governing rule "āt" it were desired only for the vowel a, then manīṣā would not be established. Some, however, say that for the words manas and patat, since they belong to the pṛṣodarādi class, upon the elision of the final sound the subsequent single substitute applies to the vowel a alone. Śakānām = of particular regions; andhuḥ = a well = śakandhuḥ. The well of the kings of the Karkas [= karkandhuḥ]. But the word karkandhū denoting the jujube tree ends in a long vowel; it will be stated among the uṇādi suffixes by "andhūdṛmbhū-" and so forth. Aṭati, thus aṭā, taking the affix ac by pacādi. The wanderer (aṭā) of the family (kula) is kulaṭā. Īṣa in gleaning, īṣa in moving and so forth; from these, when the affix a is added by "garośca halaḥ" (Pā. sū. 3.3.103), īṣā [is derived]. The implement (īṣā) of the mind (manas) is manīṣā. The pole (īṣā) of a plow (hala) is halīṣā = the plow-shaft; it has a retroflex penultimate letter. But as for the one having a palatal penultimate letter from Rabhasa and Keśa: "īśa is used for master and Śaṅkara, and in feminine for a plow-shaft...", when that follows, there is only "ād guṇaḥ" (Pā. sū. 6.1.87): haleśā. One into whose folded hands (añjali) [something] falls (patat) because he is worthy of obeisance, thus patañjaliḥ. Mārtaṇḍaḥ. Some here state a homogeneous long vowel. Vedic usages such as "parā mārtāṇḍam āsthat", "punar mārtāṇḍam ārabhat", and "viśvo mārtāṇḍo 'vrajat" support them. "With regard to otu and oṣṭha": this operates when there is co-occurrence in a single compound of the vowel a and of otu and oṣṭha; therefore not here: vṛṣalasuta oṣṭhavraṇas te. He explains the obscure word:
