When an 补惫测补测墨产丑腻惫补 is formed of two words expressive of two objects which resemble each other it is the word saha which is expressive of what is similar.
Commentary
Remarks: The indeclinable expressive of the meaning of 测补迟丑腻 enters into the compound in the sense of repetition and resemblance and that has been shown separately.
[If 迟丑腻濒, taught in the sense of 辫谤补办腻谤补 really means 蝉腻诲峁浥泍补, why is 蝉腻诲峁浥泍补, mentioned separately in P. 2.1.6 which teaches the formation of 补惫测补测墨产丑腻惫补 compounds, considering that 测补迟丑腻 has already been mentioned before. The reason is that there is really no repetition here, 蝉腻诲峁浥泍补 here means 蝉补诲峁浥沘. The former is a dharma which presupposes the 诲丑补谤尘墨, its substratum. The example given is sakhy膩 蝉补诲峁浥沘岣� sasakhi. In this 补惫测补测墨产丑腻惫补, the avyaya is saha which has become sa and stands for the 诲丑补谤尘墨 and not dharma only. As the word so formed expresses the 蝉补诲峁浥沘 which is something concrete, a substance, it should not really be an indeclinable, but being an 补惫测补测墨产丑腻惫补, it is indeclinable according to P. 1.1.41. The 补惫测补测墨产丑腻惫补 formed in the sense of 惫墨辫蝉腻, one of the four meanings of 测补迟丑腻, namely, pratyartham expresses dharma only. So, it can be an indeclinable. No compound of this kind can be formed in the sense of 蝉腻诲峁浥泍补, the fourth meaning of 测补迟丑腻. The 蝉奴迟谤补 P. 2.1.7. also makes this point clear.]
