Commentary
The prohibition and the augment ordained by न य्वाभ्यां पदान्ताभ्याम् पूर्वौ तु ताभ्यामैच् 7.3.3, do not apply also to स्वागत etc.
As स्वागतिकः, (= स्वागतमिति आह) स्वाध्वरिकः, (= स्वधरेण चरति) स्वाङ्गिः, व्याङ्गिः, व्याडिः (sons of Svanga, Vyanga and Vyada). व्यावहारिकः and स्वापतेयः (= स्वपतौ साधुः) ॥ The word व्यवहार does not mean reciprocity of action, for then it would have been governed by the last sutra. स्वपत being a compound with स्व, would have been governed by 7.3.4 as it is included in the Dvaradi list, hence its specific mention here. The following is the list of svagatadi words.
1 स्वागत, 2 स्वध्वर, 3 स्वङ्ग, 4 व्यङ्ग, 5 व्यड, 6 व्यवहार, 7 स्वपति ॥
