Commentary

In the following sūtras up to निष्ठोपसर्गपूर्वमन्यतरस्याम् 6.2.110, inclusive, is to be supplied the phrase 'the last syllable in a word standing in the Nominative 1st-Case has the acute accent (उदात्त)'.
This is an adhikara aphorism. In the succeeding sutras, the last syllable of the first member of a compound gets the acute accent. Thus in the next sutra the word सर्व gets acute on the final. This adhikara extends upto 6.2.110 inclusive.
