kum膩ryag膩re na hyasti sam膩so vacan膩ntare || 121 ||121. (In 碍耻尘腻谤测补驳腻谤补尘), the name 辫谤补驳峁沨测补 would not come through the continuance of the effect of a suffix even after it is elided (辫谤补迟测补测补濒补办峁峁嘺, taught in P. 1.1.62.). There is no compound here of a word ending in the dual.
Commentary
A doubt is now raised in regard to the compound 碍耻尘腻谤-测补驳腻谤补尘 which is answered as follows.
[Read verse 121 above]
[If one wants to make a compound word of kum膩ryo岣� ag膩ram, the sixth case-ending in the dual would be elided and one would get 碍耻尘腻谤墨 + ag膩ram. Here by P. 1.1.62 the word 碍耻尘腻谤墨 would be looked upon as ending in the dual and so P. 1.1.11. would apply and the final 墨 cannot be joined with the initial a and so we would not get the required form. To this objection, the answer is that P. 1.1.62 does not apply in the case of the name 辫谤补驳峁沨测补 (see V膩. 4 and 5 on P. 1.1.11 and the M. Bh膩. thereon.) In any case, as the secondary constituent of a compound has abhedaikatva, it does not end in the dual at all. So nothing prevents the joining of the final 墨 with the initial a and the formation of the compound.]
Some objections are now raised against the idea of abhedaikatva.
