Commentary

The affix वुञ् is added to the following verbs in the sense of 'the agent having such a habit etc.' - 1. निन्द् 2. हिंस् 3. क्लिश् 4. खाद् 5. विनाश् 6. परिक्षिप् 7. परिरट् 8. व्याभाष् and असूय।
In this sutra the whole phrase ending with असूय has taken the termination of the first case; which, however, has the force of the ablative here.

As निन्द् + वुञ् = निन्दकः (VII.I.I) 'blaming'; so also हिंसकः 'injuring'; क्लेशकः 'tormenting or troublesome'; खादकः 'eating'; विनाशकः 'destroying'; परिक्षेपकः 'surrounding'; परिराटकः 'who cries aloud'; परिवादकः 'a plaintiff'; व्याभाषकः 'detracting'; and असूयकः 'detracting'.

The same forms as the above would have been obtained by adding the affix ण्वुल taught in 3.1.133, as by adding वुञ्; its separate enunciation indicates the existence of this paribhasha :-

"The rule of 3.1.94 by which an apavada-affix which is not uniform with an utsarga-affix should supersede the latter only optionally, has no concern with apavada-affixes added in the sense of 'having such a habit' i. e. with the affixes taught in (III.2.134-177)". Therefore the affixes तृच् &c, are not added in the sense of 'having such a habit &c'.
