When we call the Pope "your Holiness", or the Queen "your Majesty", the verb gets third person endings, not second person endings —
"Your Majesty is considerate." (Not "are considerate".)
The same rule applies in Sanskrit —
zrNotu rAjA श्र्णोतु राजा "your Majesty should kindly listen"
Unlike in English, however, referring to a king with second person endings is not viewed as disrespectful, at least if some respectful address word is nearby —
zRNu rAjan शृणु राजन् "your Majesty should kindly listen"
Where does /pANini allow this?
IDK yet, sorry.
What if he didn't allow it nowhere?
Then, most likely, the commentarists noticed it and there must be a /vArttika somewhere. See, I'm not going to do all of your commentary-reading.
