Commentary

The affix खश् comes after the verb एजृ 'to tremble' when ending in शि and when the object is in composition with it.
This affix comes after the causative of एज्. Of the affix खश् the letters ख् and श् are indicatory, the real affix is अ. The ख् indicates that the augment मुम् is added to the upapada ending in a vowel 6.3.67. The श indicates that this is a Sarvadhatuka affix 2.4.11, and therefore the vikaranas like शप् &c. 3.1.68 will be employed here. Thus अङ्गमेजयति = अङ्गमेजयः (अङ्ग + एजि + शप् + खश् = अङ्गम् + एजे + अ + अ) 'who awes the limbs'; जनमेजयः 'who awes man-kind'.

Vart:- The affix खश् comes after the verbs अज् 'to go', धेट् 'to suck', तुद् 'to strike', हा 'to leave' when in composition with the words वात 'wind', शुनी 'a bitch', तिल 'sesamum' and शर्द्ध 'flatulence'. As वातमजाः मृगाः 'swift antelopes' (going with the wind); शुनिन्धयः 'a bitch-sucker'; तिलन्तुदः 'an oilman'; शर्द्धञ्जहा माषाः 'a kind of bean' (that causes or cures flatulence). The long ई of शुनी is shortened by 6.3.66.
