Commentary
The word आशित meaning 'having eaten' has acute on the first syllable.
Thus आ꣡शितो देवदत्तः 'Devadatta, having eaten'. Here it is used as an active participle. The क्त is added to अश् preceded by आ, to form both Active and Passive Participles : which by 6.2.144 would have taken acute on the final. This debars that. In the Passive Participle we have आशित꣡म् देवदत्तेन 'eaten by Devadatta'. आशित꣡मन्नम् 'the eaten food'. The former is भावे क्त, the second is कर्मणि क्त ॥
