Commentary
In भी , ह्री , भृ , हु , मद् , जन् , धन् , दरिद्रा and जागृ , and in their reduplicates, the acute accent is, before the सार्वधातुक unaccented endings of the three persons in singular, (पित्), on the syllable which precedes the affix.
This debars the accent on the beginning. Thus बिभे꣡ति, जिहे꣡ति, बिभ꣡र्त्ति, जुहो꣡ति, मम꣡त्तु नः परिज्मा ॥ Here the root मद has diversely taken in the Chhandas the vikarana श्लु, though it belongs to Divadi class. जज꣡नत्, इन्द्रम् ॥ The verb is here लेट् or the Vedic Subjunctive, so also is the next example. दधनत् from धन धान्ये, the इ of ति being elided by 3.4.97. and the augment अट् being added by 3.4.94. दध꣡नत्, दरिद्रा꣡ति, जाग꣡र्त्ति ॥ In the case of other verbs we have द꣡दाति ॥ Before affixes which have not the indicatory प् (i. e. all endings other than the three singular endings), the accent will be on the first syllable: as द꣡रिद्रति ॥
