Commentary
The affix यत् (य) comes in the आर्हीय senses 5.1.37-63 after the words पण, माष and शत , when preceded by the word अध्यर्ध or a Numeral occasioning a द्विगु।
Thus अध्यर्द्धपण्यम्, द्विपण्यम्, त्रिपण्यम् so also अध्यर्द्धपाद्यम्, द्विपाद्यम्, त्रिपाद्यम् ॥ Here पाद is not changed into पद, by 6.3.53. The substitution enjoined by 6.3.53 takes place when पाद means the foot of a living being, while here it means a measure of capacity. So also अध्यर्द्धमाष्यम्, द्विमाष्यम्, त्रिमाष्यम्, अध्यर्द्धशत्यम्, द्विशत्यम्, त्रिशत्यम् ॥
