Commentary
The affix ढञ् (+/- एय) comes, in the sense of a primitive serviceable for a product after the words छदिस् , उपधि and बालि, denoting the product.
This debars छ. Thus छादिषेयाणि तृणानि, औषधेयं दारु, बालेयास्तण्डुलाः ॥
The affix comes after the word उपाधि without changing the sense. उपधीयत इत्युपधिः = रथांगम् 'part of a wheel between the nave and the circumference or the wheel istelf'. The word औषधेय also means the same.
