Commentary

The affix क्यप् is optionally used after the verb सृज् 'to cleanse'.
This is an example of Prapta-vibhasha. By rule 110 ante, the root मृज् having a penultimate ऋ would have necessarily taken kyap; this sutra declares an option. As परिमृज्यः or परिमार्ग्यः 'to be cleansed'. The second form is thus evolved:-

परिमृज्य + ण्यत् 3.1.124 = परिमृग् + य 7.3.52 = परिमार्ग्य 7.2.114
