Commentary
And the words तिष्ठद्गु 'at the time when the cows stand to be milked', etc. are अव्ययीभाव compounds.
The words तिष्ठद्गु, &c. are all irregularly formed Avyayibhava compounds. Most of these words are epithets of various times. The force of च in the sutra is restrictive, that is to say these words always form the Avyayibhava compound and nothing else. They are as follows :-तिष्ठद्गु, वहद्गु, आयतीगवम् , खलेयवम्, खलेबुसम् , लूनयवम् , लूयमानयवम् , पूतयवम् , पूयमानयवम् , संहूतयवम् , संह्रियमाणयवम् , संहूतबुसम्, संह्रियमाणबुसम् , समभूमि , समपदाति , सुषमम् , विषमम् , दुष्षमम् , निष्षमम् , अपरसमम् , आयतीसमम् , प्राह्णम् , प्ररथम् , प्रमृगम् , प्रदक्षिणम् , अपरदक्षिणम् , सम्प्रति , असम्प्रति, पापसमम् , पुण्यसमम् , इच् कर्मव्यतिहारे- 5.4.127 e.g., कचाकचि ।।
