Commentary
The affix वस् optionally takes इट् after 1. गम् 'to go' 2. हन् 'to kill' 3. विद् 'to know' and 4. विश् 'to enter'.
As गम्-जग्मिवान् or जगन्वान् (म् changed to न् by 8.2.64); हन्-जघ्निवान् or जघन्वान्, 7.2.54 and 7.2.55
विद्-विविदिवान् or विविद्वान्, विश्-विविशिवान् or विविश्वान् ॥ The root विद् 'to acquire' belongs to the Tudadi class, as it is read here with the Tudadi विश् ॥ The root विद् 'to know' (II.55. IV. 62), forms invariably विविद्वान् because it is atmanepadi and cannot take इट् augment before वस् affix.
Vart:- The root दृश् should also be enumerated. As ददृशिवान् and ददृंश्वान् ॥
