Commentary
In the following rules, the double-word is treated like a कर्मधारय समास ।
The reason for making it a Karmadharaya is to elide the case-affix 2.4.71, to make the first member a masculine term even when the word refers to a feminine 6.3.42, and to regulate the accent by 6.1.223. Thus पटुपटुः, मृदुमृदुः where the first member has lost the case-affix. पटुपट्वी, मृदुमृद्वी where the first member is treated as a masculine, even when there is a क in the penultimate as कालककालिका (See 6.3.37 and 6.3.42; पटुपटुः꣡, पटुपट्वी꣡, the accent falls on the final, for the rule 6.1.223 was debarred by 8.1.3, but the present rule re-instates 6.1.223. The word उत्तरेषु is for the sake of distinctness, the sutra being an adhikara one, would have applied to the subsequent aphorisms, without even the word uttareshu.
