Commentary
The affix टच् is added to the word अञ्जलि when preceded by 1. द्वि or 2. त्रि in a द्विगु तत्-पुरुष समास (Numeral Determinative Compound).
Thus द्वावञ्जली समाहृतौ = द्व्यञ्जलम्, so also त्र्यञ्जलम् ॥ The word द्विगोः is understood here also, so that when the compound is not a Dvigu, the rule does not apply. Thus द्वयोरञ्जलिः = द्वञ्जलिः ॥ The phrase "when a Taddhita is not elided 5.4.92" is understood here also. Therefore the affix टाच् does not apply here : द्वाभ्यामंजलिभ्यां क्रीतः = द्व्यञ्जलिः ॥ So also त्र्यञ्जलिः 5.1.28 The phrase "according to the opinion of the Eastern Grammarians" 5.4.101 is to be read into this sutra. Thus in the alternative we have द्व्यञ्जलिप्रियः ॥
