Commentary

The object of the verb दिव् when having the above-mentioned sense of 'dealing' or 'stalking', takes the 2nd case, in the ब्राह्मण literature.
Ex. गामस्य तदहः सभायां दीव्येयुः (Maitr.S.1.6.11) In the Vedic literature the simple verb div takes the accusative instead of the genitive. And with upasargas it is optional. The anuvritti of the word शेष does not extend to this sutra, or the following.
