षपूर्वॱहन्धृतराज्ञामणि ONPANINI 64135

(When whimpy,) /han-enders, dhRtarAjan- धृतराजन्, and bases that end in San षन् (lose their a अ) before /aN''.

Examples with han-enders —

vRtrahan वृत्रहन् + /aN''
→ vArtrahan वार्त्रहन् + aN अण् by taddhiteSvac...
→ vArtrahn वार्त्रह्न् + aN अण् by this rule
→ vArtraghn वार्त्रघ्न् + aN अण् by hohanterJNinn...
→ vArtraghna- वार्त्रघ्नॱ "a son of **indra- इन्द्रॱ", " **arjuna- अर्जुनॱ"

bhrauNa-ghnaH भ्रौणॱघ्नः "abortifacient"

Example with dhRtarAjan- धृतराजन् —

dhArtarAjJaH धार्तराज्ञः "son of dhRtarAjan- धृतराजन्"

Examples with a San षन्-ender —

tAkSNaH ताक्ष्णः "son of a carpenter"

Why do we say before /aN''?

Before /Nya, the a अ stays —

tAkSaNyaH ताक्षण्यः "carpenter's son"

Why do we say "ending in San षन्"?

Other an अन् are unaffected

viman- विमन् "disagreement" + /aN'' → vaimana- वैमनॱ "conflictive"

Why do we bother to mention dhRtarAjan- धृतराजन्? Rule < alloponaH would've made rAjan- राजन् lose its a अ anyway.

It wouldn't've, because of rAjAhassakh....
