Commentary
[In P. 5.1.116, the word iva indicates the meaning of the suffix, if the third case-affix were taught in the sense of 艣别峁 in association with iva, then the suffix vati would be added to a word ending in the third case-affix in the sense of iva. But P. 2.3.72. does not teach the third case-affix in the sense of iva. Because iva is only a manifestor (dyotaka) and is not expressive of the meaning of tulya. Thus when the connection is internal, the third case-affix does not come in association with iva. But a case-affix expressive of a 办腻谤补办补 relation can come according to the nature of the relation with action. The third case-affix, expressive of a 办腻谤补办补 relation does not cover all the case-affixes as the third case-affix expressive of a 艣别峁 relation does as shown before. Therefore, in P. 5.1.116, the third case-affix already mentioned in the previous 蝉奴迟谤补 is abandoned and the sixth and seventh case-affixes, based on a relation with an outside word, are taught. The word tulya cannot be connected with them. Therefore, another meaning of vati is here indicated through the word iva. Therefore, when the connection is internal the previous rule applies, and the present one applies when the connection is with something external. Thus, there is difference in the scope.]
