न तिसृ-चतसृ

Pāṇini leaves out words that carry over from earlier sūtras. Expand to see the rule as a reader actually understands it.

Commentary

The finals of तिसृ and चतसृ are not lengthened before नाम् (having the augment नुट्).
As तिसृणाम्, चतसृणाम् ॥ The very fact of this prohibition proves by implication that the final ऋ of these words is not changed to र before a genitive plural, 7.2.100 notwithstanding. In fact नुट् is added before scope is given to that rule, and thus the preceding rule 7.1.54 prevents the application of the subsequent rule 7.2.100.
