Commentary
The affix षाकन् comes, in the sense of 'agent having such habit etc.' after the following verbs - 1. जल्प् 2. भिक्ष् 3. कुट्ट 4. लुण्ट 5.वृङ ।
The ष is indicatory showing that the feminine of the words so formed take the affix ङीष् i. e. long ई 4.1.41. As जल्पाकः 'talkative'; भिक्षाकः 'a beggar'; कुट्टाकः 'who or what cuts'; लुण्टाकः 'a thief or robber'; वराकः 'low, miserable'. In the feminine जल्पाकी &c.
