bhRzAdibhyo bhuvy a-cver lopaz ca halaH

भृशादिभ्यो भुव्यॱच्वेर्लोपश्च हलः ONPANINI 31012

(Optionally add /kyaG,) to mean becoming (what the thing previously was not,) after a /cvi-less bhRza भृश-class. And erase its final consonant.

Example —

bhRzaH भृशः + /kyaG by this rule
→ bhRza- भृशॱ + /kyaG by supodhAtupr...
→ bhRza- भृशॱ + /kyaG + /laT /ta by anudAttaG...
→ bhRzA- भृशाॱ + /kyaG + /laT /ta by akRtsArvadh...
→ !**bhRzAyate भृशायते "he who is not much becomes much"

!**zIghrAyate शीघ्रायते "becomes swift (from being tardy)"

Why do we say "and erase its final consonant"?

**rahas- रहस् + /kyaG → rahAyate रहायते "becomes a secret"

Why do we say "optionally"?

Because if you like, you may still say —

a-bhRzo bhRzo bhavati अॱभृशो भृशो भवति "he who is not much becomes much"

Where can I find a list of the bhRza भृश-class?

In the /kAzikA —

bhRza zIghra manda भृश शीघ्र मन्द
capala paNDita utsuka चपल पण्डित उत्सुक
unmanas abhimanas sumanas durmanas उन्मनसभिमनः सुमनस्दुर्मनस्
rahas rehas रहस्रेहस्
zazvat bRhat vehat nRSat शश्वत्बृहत्वेहत्नृषत्
zudhi adhara ojas varcas शुधि अधर ओजस्वर्चस्

Why do we say "acveH अच्वेः"?

Because abhUtatadbh... allows optional /cvi in the same sense, and if we add the /cvi we cannot add the /kyaG —

!**bhRzIbhavati भृशीभवति

Why did you bother to specify "becoming what one previously was not"? If you become a frog, that means you were not a frog earlier.

Good point. That's not necessary in English, but the commentarists have to specify that because all the Sanskrit verbs that mean "become", like **bhavati भवति, can also mean "be".
