Commentary
[Strictly speaking where quality is expressed as distinct, there should be matup which is generally used where there is difference as in gom膩n devadatta岣�. But the form without matup is the correct one and so its elision has been taught. Otherwise, in 辫补峁璦蝉测补 艣耻办濒补岣�, there would be matup. After words like rasa, there is no elision.]
