Commentary
The augment कुक् comes before इनि (इन्) after the words 1. वात and 2. अतिसार।
The words वात and अतिसार being names of diseases, will take इनि by the fore-going sutra; the present aphorism only teaches the affixing of the augment. Thus वातकी, अतिसारकी ॥ Another reading is अतीसारकी ॥
Vart:- So also after पिशाच, as पिशाचकी वैश्रवणः 'the Kubera'.
This is when the words वात and अतिसार denote diseases. Otherwise, वातवती गुहा ॥
