Commentary
So also the six roots beginning with जक्षि are called अभ्यस्त।
The word abhyasta is understood here. The verb jakshi and the six verbs that follow it in the Dhatupatha, in all seven verbs, get this designation. These are जक्ष, जागृ, दरिद्रा, चकास्, शास्, देधी, and वेवी । Panini has overlooked वेवी and mentions only the first six. By getting the designation of Abhyasta these verbs get acute accent on the first syllable when followed by a sarvadhatuka Tense-affix not having the intermediate इट् and beginning with a vowel. Thus जा꣡ग्रति ja-grati, ज꣡क्षति jakshati, द꣡रिद्रति daridrati, चका꣡सति chakasati, शा꣡शति sasati, दी꣡ध्यते didhyate, and वे꣡व्यते vevyate. The present participle दीध्यत् is irregularly formed by adding the affix शतृ (अत्) and when so formed it does not take the augment नुम् by 7.1.78.
