Commentary
The affix क्वनिप् comes after the verb दृश् 'to see' in the sense of past time, when in composition with a word in the Accusative -2nd case.
As मेरुदृश्वन्, 1st. sing. मेरुदृश्वा 'who has seen the Meru'. परलोकदृश्वा 'who has seen the hereafter.'
Though the affix क्वनिप् was valid by sutra 3.2.75 its repetition here shows that no other affix comes in this sense after this verb.
