No, but look at rule tyadAdiSudRzo right below that. It says that when dRz root is in one of these compounds it gets kvin.

That dRkSa does not come from the trickle.

True, it comes from a vArttika.

(dvyantarupa) (!dvy)

dvy;antar;upasargebhyo 'pa:: It ONPANINI 63097
ap- to I after dvi-, antar, preverbs.mmmmmmmmm glosses glosses ^ C+ 587

This rule may be reworded into "the Ipa part of dvIpa- antarIpa- samIpa- means water ".

Examples with dvi-, antar, and the preverb sam --

dvi + ap- → * dvi + Ip akassa dvIp RkpUra dvIpa- "island"

antar + ap → * antar + Ip RkpUra antarIpa- "island"

sam + ap → .. → samIpa- "vicinity"

Rule Ap;jJapy;RdhAm It is sort of like this one; it makes Ap into Ip after san.

How did "twowaters" come to mean "island"?

In old times dvIpa- meant the land between two rivers. Later it came to mean any place surrounded by water.

And how did "joined waters" came to mean "vicinity"?

You see, I'm making up these stories about "old times" so as to help you to remember. But now you already are old enough to make up your own stories.

What does the avarNasya word mean?

It means "replace a A". The word a-varNa stands for "a and its similars".

Why did pANini say avarNasya in that sense instead of saying asya, same meaning?

No clue, sorry.

But the kAzikA appears to explain that. Why didn't you translate for us what the kAzikA says?

Because I think it's wrong, or at least highly unlikely.

(anyeSAma) (!any)

anyeSAm api dRzyate ONPANINI 63137
Sometimes other lengthenings are seen.mmmmmmmmm glosses glosses ^ C+ 591

More than a "rule", this is an excuse. This says that in some cases we are going to hear words that have a long vowel where, according to grammar rules, a short belongs, but that they can be considered correct nonetheless if the Big Schtrumpfs agree that they are correct.

Example. In this line ( bhg 6:36) --

atha kena prayukto 'yamM pApaJM carati pUruSaH "what compels a man to do evil?"

The word pUruSas has a long, even though according to grammar it should be puruSas. But grammarians agree that this is good anyway, and pUruSas is found in many old books, so it's good. And a grammarian might comment here "pUruSa is good by anyeSAm api dRzyate ".

(aGgasya) (!aG)

aGgasya ONPANINI 64001
Replace stem.mmmmmmmmm glosses glosses ^ C+ 593

headline. The following rules, down to 81001 sarvasyadve exclusive, replace only the stem of affixes when those affixes are added.

Example.

Rule nAmi teaches: " lengthen the short that is before nAm".

However, because of this headline, this does not mean that every short is lengthened before every nAm. It just means that the AFFIX nAm lengthens the stem of nAm, that is, lengthens the short vowel of whatever the affix nAm is added to.

Therefore, rule nAmi will lengthen the a of pUta- when the affix nAm is added to the nounbase pUta --

pUta- + nAmpUtAnAm "of clean ones"

But it will not lengthen the a of pUta in the sentence --

jaghAna pUtanAGM kRSNaH "kRSNa killed the demoness pUtanA"

because those nAm letters are not the affix nAm.

halaH ONPANINI 64002
(Lengthen a stem-final stretched a i u,) after consonant.mmmmmmmmm glosses glosses ^ C+ 594

After stretching roots like jyA hveJ vyA etc, they end in a consonant plus a stretched short vowel, ji hu vi etc. That vowel must then be lengthened, making jI hU vI.

Examples --

jyA + kta grahijyA ji + ta → * jIta- lvAdi jIna- "grown old"

hve + kta vacisvapi hu + ta → * hUta- "called"

( Not same as huta- "poured", from hu + ktvA )

vyA + kta vacisvapi vi + ta → * vIta

A + hve + lyap vacisvapi Ahu + ya → * AhUya "after calling"

so we say hUta-, jIna-, saMvIta-, AhUya.

Why do we bother to say "after consonant"? Won't the final vowel of the root be always after a consonant, as in ji hu vi?

Not so. Root veJ, after stretching, is just u. This u is not after consonant, so this rule does not work on it --

veJ + ktauta- "woven"

veJ + ktavatuutavat- "he wove"

Why does the rule say "before nAm", not "before Am"?

nAm comes after n only if it was made by SaTcaturbhyazca. That's why the rule only makes the five words above. It must not work on carman-, rAjan-, yogin- etc.

sarva-nAma-sthAne c'.Asambuddhau ONPANINI 64008
( nexttolast of n stem lengthens) before strong that is not the calling.mmmmmmmmm glosses glosses ^ M- C+ 599

I nicknamed this rule as the " rAjAnam rule", after the first example below. That's way better than calling it "sarva rule".

Examples with n-ender nounbases --

rAjan- + am → * rAjAn- + amrAjAnam "king"

rAjan- + su → * rAjAn- + s → .. → rAjA "king"

yogin- + su → * yogIn + s halGyA yogIn nalopaHprA yogI "yogi"

Examples with vowel-ender nounbases that got n added at the end by rule nonfunny before zi --

phala- n + jasphala- + zi napuMsakasyajhalacaH phalan + zi → * phalAni "fruits, results"

dadhIni "kinds of curds"

madhUni "kinds of honey"

KAZIKA sarvanAmasthAne ca parato 'sambuddhau nopadhAyAH dIrgho bhavati. rAjA, rAjAnau, rAjAnaH. rAjAnam, rAjAnau. sAmAni tiSThanti. sAmAni pazya. sarvanAmasthAne iti kim? rAjani. sAmani. asambuddhau iti kim? he rAjan. he takSan.

Why do we say "that is not the calling"?

The calling is strong, but does not trigger this rule --

rAjan- + @calling su halGyA rAjan "hey king; Your Highness"

yogin- + @calling su halGyA yogin "hey yogi; Your Holiness"

am is strong in yogin- m + am. Why no lengthening in yoginam?

Exception inhan.

For me, it feels sort of strange that this rule can lengthen phalan- dadhin- madhun-, which are vowel nounbases that got n added by some rule. I was sort of expecting this rule to only work on nounbases that end in n.

I understand your feelings. Yet, no one ever said that this rule should work only on bare nounbases. As we are in the shadow of the headline aGgasya, this rule is supposed to work on the stem of any strong affix, that is, on whatever the strong affix was originally added to, even if it grew afterwards.

Lengthen last vowel of s -enders and mahat-, when they got num, before a strong that is not the calling.

Examples. mahat- "big" and zreyas- "better" get num from ugidacA before all strong (because they are udit). So this rule works too --

mahat- m + su ugidacA mahant- + s → * mahAnt + s halGyA mahAnt saMyogAnta mahAn "big"

zreyas- m + su ugidacA zreyanss → * zreyAnss halGyA zreyAns saMyogAnta zreyAn "best"

Before zi, neuter s-enders and neuter mahat- get their num from napuMsakasyajhalacaH, then this rule lengthens the last vowel --

manas- + zi napuMsakasyajhalacaH manansi → * manAnsi nazcA manAMsi "minds"

cakSus- + zi napuMsakasyajhalacaH cakSUnsi nazcA cakSUMsi kric cakSUMSi "eyes"

What happens before the calling?

Nothing special. This rule does not work, so the last vowel stays --

mahat- m + @calling su ugidacA mahant- + s halGyA mahant saMyogAnta mahan "hey big man"

The saMyogasya in the original means "nounbases that end in a cluster". Why did you translate that as "nounbases that got num"?

Because these nounbases can only end in a cluster if they got num.

Why didn't then pANini use the wording "that got num" instead of "that end in a cluster", like you did?

To save space , both of us used the shortest wording we could think of.

The next rule, sauca, translates as "and before su". Therefore, the two rules together state:

"in han etc lengthen before zi and strong su".

Now, the true meaning of this must be

"But in han etc only lengthen before zi and su".

because without the "only", this rule would be useless. (See niyama for more examples of skipped "only".)

(atvasanta) (!atv)

atv;as-antasya c/AdhAtoH ONPANINI 64014
Non- rootnoun atu-as-enders (lengthen their nexttolast before non- calling strong su).mmmmmmmmm glosses glosses ^ M+ C+ 604

The atu-enders are the nounbases that end in at and have label u. For instance, all ktavatu and matup are atu-enders --

dRSTavat- m + su → * dRSTavAt + s ugidacA dRSTavAnts halGyA dRSTavAnt saMyogAnta dRSTavAn m "he saw"

gomat- m + su → * gomAt + s → .. → gomAn "cattleowner"

This rule affects all as-enders regardless of labels, but only before non- calling strong su --

triziras m + su → * trizirAs + s halGyA trizirAs "three-headed, tricephalous, Threeheads (nickname)"

apsaras- f + su → * apsarAs + s halGyA apsarAs "naiad"

This rule won't work when the su is not strong --

gomat- n + su svamorna gomat "cattle ranch"

ziras- n + su svamorna ziras "head"

Also won't work when the at-ender is not udit. For instance, sat- "true, real, truth" has no labels --

sat- m + su halGyA sat "true"

and hasat- from has + zatR is Rdit, but not udit --

has + zatR m + su → .. → hasat(R) + su ugidacA hasants halGyA hasant saMyogAnta hasan "that laughs, laughing"

Why do we say "non- calling su" ?

The calling su does not lengthen --

he goman

he bhagavan

he triziraH

he apsaraH

May I say he 'psaraH?

Sure you may, in fact, accpo5ding to the rules, you must. I wrote he apsaraH because sometimes I pause after he. Sorry.

Why do we say "non- rootnoun"?

For instance, the root gras "eat" makes the rootnoun gras- "eater", that ends in as. gras is unaffected by this rule --

piNDa + gras mf + su halGyA piNDagras "piNDa-eater, crow, ancestor"

So how do I say hello to a crow?

he piNDAgraH

This prazAn word is an exception to rule naz chavy a-prazAn, so we say --

This rule won't work before ktic, because of exception naktici way below.

Examples with vowelender roots plu zru mR --

plu + san → * plU + sa → .. → puplUSa "want to jump"

adhi + iG + san + laT ta iGazca adhi + gam + sa + ta → * adhi + gAm + sa + ta → .. → adhijigAMsate "he wants to study"

Even though pANini does not bother to say so, this rule does not affect gamL "go". So no A here --
