lubantasya pradh膩natv膩t taddharmairvyapadi艣yate || 157 ||157. When the qualifying word, different from the word expressive of the universal, is used keeping in view the word in which the lup has taken place, it is formed according to the properties of the latter, because its meaning is the primary one.
Commentary
[When, however, the qualifying word is used in apposition to the word in which the elision (lup) of the taddhita suffix has taken place, it takes the gender and number of the latter as in 辫补帽肠腻濒腻 priy膩tithaya岣� spa峁ａ弓膩bhidh膩n膩岣� vin墨tave峁Ｄ佱弗 bahvann膩岣� 箩补苍补辫补诲补岣�. Here, though the word expressive of the universal, namely, janapada, has been used, the adjectives have been used with 辫补帽肠腻濒腻岣� and so they are in the masculine gender and plural number.
Why 笔腻峁噄苍颈 framed I. 2. 52 and himself discarded it in I. 2. 52 has been interpreted in several ways by grammarians.]
