Commentary
The affix अण् comes in the remaining senses after a word ending with प्रस्थ after the words पलदी etc. and after a word having a penultimate क , whether these words express villages of North folk or not.
This debars the अञ् of the last aphorism. Thus माद्रीप्रस्थः, माहकीप्रस्थः, पालदः, पारिषदः, नैलिनकः, चैवातकः ॥
In the class Paladyadi, those words which denote villages of वाहीक, will not take ठञ् or ञिठ् affix of 4.2.117; but will take the affix अण् of this rule. Such as the words गोष्ठी and नैतकी ॥
The word गोमती that occurs in Paladi class, and consequently it does not take the affix वुञ् 4.2.123 which it would otherwise have taken by reason of its being a Vriddha word ending in long ई ॥
The word वाहीक has a penultimate क, but it is recited in Paladi class, showing that it does not take the affix छ of 4.2.114 though it is a Vriddha word.
The affix अण् is repeated in this sutra, (though its anuvritti comes from 4.1.83), in order to exclude the application of any rule which might have debarred the general अण् ॥
1 पलदी, 2 परिषद, 3 रोमक, 4 वाहीक, 5 कलकीट (मलकीट) 6 बहुकीट (बाहुकीट) 7 जालकीट, 8 कमलकीट, 9 कमलकीकर, 10 कमलभिदा, 11 गौष्ठी, 12 नैकती (नैतकी), 13 परिखा, 14 शूरसेन, 15 गामती, 16 षटच्चर, 17 उदपान (उदयानि) 18 यकृल्लोम, 19 सकृल्लोमन् ॥
