Commentary

After the verbs हू 'to sacrifice' and others there is श्लु elision of the विकरण शप् -- कर्तरि शप् 3.1.68.
These verbs belong to the Juhotyadi class. जुहोति 'he sacrifices' 7.1.10. श्लु causes the reduplication of the root. So also बिभेति 'he fears.' निनेक्ति from निज् 'to purify, he purifies.'
