Commentary
And the compound called द्विगु (Numeral Determinative Compound) is all called तत्-पुरुष ।
The object of making Dwigu a sub-division of Tat-purusha Compound is that the समासान्त affixes and rules given in (V. 4.68-160) should apply to Dwigu also. Otherwise we could well have dispensed with this sutra; as sútra 52 of this chapter already defines Dwigu. Thus पञ्चराज्ञ 5.4.91 fem. पञ्चराज्ञी 4.1.15, 4.1.21, 'an aggregate of 5 princes' द्ववहः, '5.4.89, पञ्चगवम् 'an aggregate of 5 cows.' दशगवम् 'an aggregate of ten cows.' 5.4.92
