Commentary

Also when the unaccented endings of the three persons in the singular follow, the first syllable of the reduplicate has the acute.
The endings तिप् सिप् and मिप् are anudatta 3.1.4. This sutra applies to those personal endings which do not begin with a vowel. Thus द꣡दाति, ज꣡हाति, द꣡धाति, जि꣡हीते, मि꣡मीते ॥ The word अनुदात्त is to be construed here as a Bahuvrihi i. e. an affix in which there is no udatta vowel, so that the rule may apply when a portion of the affix is elided or a semivowel is substituted : as मा हि द꣡धात्, and दधा꣡त्यत्र ॥
