Commentary

The affix क्यप् is used after the root भृञ् 'to bear' when not used as a name.
Thus भृ + क्यप् = भृत्य Pl. भृत्याः 'those who ought to be supported' i. e. 'servants'. Why do we say 'when not used as an appellative'? Observe क्षृ + ण्यत् = क्षार्थः 'a Kshatriya'.

Vart:- The use of kyap is optional when this verb takes the preposition सम्. Thus सम्भृत्याः or सम्भार्याः.
