Commentary
The affix having the senses taught up to 5.1.63, is not always संख्या। Thus for the purpose of application of the affix कृत्वसूच् 5.4.17, this word is not a संख्या।
This sutra makes the elision optional, when it was compulsory by the last sutra. Thus अध्यर्द्धकार्षापणम् or अध्यर्द्धकार्षापणिकं, द्विकार्षापणम् or द्विकार्षापणिकम्, here the affix टिठन् 5.1.25 is elided in one case, and not elided in the other. When it is not elided, प्रति may be substituted for कार्षापण 5.1.25. अध्यर्द्धप्रतिकम्, द्विप्रतिकम् ॥
So also after the word सहस्र, e.g. अध्यर्द्धसहस्रम् or अध्यर्द्धसाहस्रम्, द्विसहस्रम् or द्विसाहस्रम् ॥ When the affix is not elided, the forms above shown with irregular Vriddhi of the second stem, are evolved by sutra 7.3.15.
Vart:- The words सुवर्ण and शतमान should also be enumerated. As, अध्यर्द्धसुवर्णम् or अध्यर्द्धसौवर्णिकम्, द्विसुवर्णम्, द्विसौवर्णिकम्, अध्यर्द्धशतमानम्, अध्यर्द्धशातमानम्, द्विशतमानम् or द्विशातमानम् ॥ The irregular Vriddhi of the second term takes place by 7.3.17.
