Commentary

As कैकेयः (= केकयस्यापत्यं), with the affix अञ् 4.1.168: similarly मैत्रेयिका formed with वुञ् 5.1.134 in the sentence मैत्रेयिकया श्लाघते ॥ The word Gotra in that sutra 5.1.134 means a Rishi name, for in ordinary parlance the name of a Rishi is called Gotra. Similarly प्रालेयम् (= प्रलयादागत). As प्रालेयमुदकं ॥
