Commentary
The words द्विदण्डि etc. are valid forms of इच्।
The word द्विदण्ड्यादिभ्यः is in the dative case, and not the Ablative case. The dative here has the force of "for the purpose of that" 2.1.36. This word is therefore equal to द्विदण्ड्यर्थनिच प्रत्ययो भवति "the affix इच् comes for the sake of the words dvidandi &c", i. e. it comes in such a way as to form the words dvidandi &c. These words are used in fixed senses. Thus द्विदण्डि प्रहरति, द्विमुसलि प्रहरति, but not here, द्विदण्डा शाला ॥ Though the context is that of Bahuvrihi, yet some of these words are Tatpurusha: as निकुच्य कर्णौधावति = निकुच्यकर्णि धावति ॥ प्रोह्यपादौ हस्तिनं वाहयति = प्रोह्यपादि हस्तिनं वाहयति ॥ The compounding takes place by 2.1.72.
