Commentary
The case-endings beginning with a consonant, have the acute accent after the Numerals called षट् 1.1.24, as well as after त्रि and चतुर् ।
The anuvritti of अन्तोदात्ताद् ceases, for the present rule applies even to words like प꣡चन् and न꣡वन् which are acute on the initial by Phit II.5. Thus षण्णा꣡म्, षड्भिः꣡, षड्भ्यः꣡, पंचाना꣡म्, सप्ताना꣡म्, त्रिभिः꣡, त्रिभ्यः꣡, त्रयाणा꣡म्, चतुर्णा꣡म् (See VII.1.55). Why do we say 'before case-affixes beginning with consonants'? Observe च꣡तस्रः पश्य 6.1.167 and 7.2.99.
