Commentary
For the अ or आ of ओम् or + the vowel of the Preposition आङ् , the second vowel is the single substitute.
The आत् is understood here. Thus का + ओम् = कोम्; या + ओम् = योम्; as कोमित्यवोचत्, योमित्यवोचत्; आ + ऊढा = ओढा, then अद्य + ओढा = अद्योढा, कदा + ओढा = कदोढा, तदा + ओढा = तदोढा ॥ आ + ऋश्यात् = अर्श्यात्, then अद्य + अर्श्यात् = अद्यर्श्यात् ॥ Thus this rule supersedes both the Vriddhi and the lengthening 6.1.88, and 6.1.101.
