Commentary
The affixes called कृत्य -- कृत्याः प्राङ् ण्वुलः 3.1.95, and the affix ल्युट् , are diversely applicable and have other senses than those taught before.
The anuvritti of the phrases 'when denoting action' and 'when the relation of the word formed to its parent verb is not that of an agent', which began with sutras 3.3.18 and 3.3.19, does not extend to this sutra or further. By saying 'diversely' we mean that they occur in other places than those where ordained by the rules. Thus the kritya affixes are ordained to come when 'act' or 'object' is to be expressed, but they come also when the karaka is other than the objective. Thus स्नानीयं चूर्णम् 'powder for bathing'; दानीयो ब्राह्मणः 'a Brahmana to whom a donation is to be made'. In the first of these examples the 'powder' is the 'instrument' expressible by the 3rd. case, and in the second the 'Brahmana' is the recipient expressible by the fourth case; so that in both cases the affix is applied without any express rule.
Similarly, ल्युट् is ordained to come in denoting instrument, location, and a verbal noun 3.3.115 and 3.3.117. But it is applied in other senses also. Thus राजभोजनाः शालयः 'halls for the eating of kings'; राजाच्छादनानि वासांसि 'dresses to be worn by the king'.
By using the word 'diversely', even the krit affixes are applied in places other than those expressly ordained. Thus, पादाभ्याम् ह्रियते = पादहारकः । गले चोप्यते = गलेचोपकः । For accent see 6.2.150.
