Commentary
In the यजुर्वेद , when the word अङ्गे is followed by अङ्गे , the subsequent short अ is retained, as well as the preceding ए or ओ।
Thus ऐन्द्रः प्राणो अङ्गे अङ्गे अदाध्यत् , ऐन्द्रः प्राणो अङ्गे अङ्गे निदिष्यत्, ऐन्द्रः प्राणो अङ्गे अङ्गे निदीतः, ऐन्द्रः प्राणो अङ्गे अङ्गे अशोचिषम् (Yaj. 6.20).
