Commentary

When the affix णि (causal follows, गामि is the substitute of इण् when the sense is not that of 'informing' but that of 'going'.
गमयति 'makes him go' गमयतः, गमयन्ति &c. But प्रत्याययति 'causes to believe.' अधिगामयति. The इ of गमि is for articulation. So also इक् to 'remember'; as, अधिगमयति ॥
