Commentary
[It is implied in the 惭.叠丑腻. that the word tulya in P. 5.1.115. has the meaning of vati. A qualifier is used in order to determine or specify something which is well-known. So the M. Bh膩. means that the word 办谤颈测腻 is in apposition to the word tulya which expresses the meaning of vati. This is, of course, the case in the 辫谤补迟测补测腻谤迟丑补惫颈艣别峁峁嘺辫补办峁 according to which the 蝉奴迟谤补 is interpreted as: yat tat 迟耻濒测补峁� 办谤颈测腻 cet s膩 bhavati. Thus the apposition is stated in the 蝉奴迟谤补 itself. In the other view, some kind of apposition has to be brought by supplying what is not in the 蝉奴迟谤补. One has to interpret as follows鈥�yat tat t峁泃墨y膩samartha峁� 办谤颈测腻 cet s膩 bhavati. In other words, the first case-ending has to be substituted for the third. This is a round-about way, compared to the previous view which is therefore, preferable.]
