I.1.52: cf. अदर्शनमश्रवणमनुच्चारणमनुपलब्धिरभाव� वर्णवि-ना� इत्यनर्थान्तरम� � एतैः शब्दैर्योर्थोभिधीयत� तस्य लो� इतीयं संज्ञा भवति (adarśanamaśravaṇamanuccraṇamanupalabdhirabhvo varṇavi-nśa ityanarthntaram | etai� śabdairyorthobhidhīyate tasya lopa itīya� saṃjñ bhavati) Kś. on P.I.1. 52. This disappearance in the case of an affix is tantamount to its notional presence or imaginary presence, as operations caused by it do take place although the word element has disappeared; cf. प्रत्ययलोप� प्रत्ययलक्षणम् � प्रत्यये लूप्तेपि तद्धेतुक� कार्ये भवति (pratyayalope pratyayalakṣaṇam | pratyaye lūptepi taddhetuka� krye bhavati) Kś. on P. I.1.62.

One man is abstemious and averse to the senses, another is greedy and attached to them (ṣaⲹ-DZܱ貹) [virakto viṣayadveṣṭ rgī viṣayalolupa�], but he who is free from both taking and rejecting is neither abstemious nor greedy. [...]�.

They will be fierce and because of an eager desire for wealth (ٳ-DZܱ貹) they will be attached to warding off cold spells, winds and thunderbolts. O Bhagavn, how should therefore those hostile Ngas act? How will they be revived? O Bhagavn, what will our sons and daughters experience?�.
