Commentary
The word द्वन्द्वम् is irregularly formed in the sense of 'secret' and when it expresses a 'limit', 'a separation', 'employing in a sacrificial vessel' and 'manifestation'.
The word द्वन्द्वं is formed from द्वि by doubling it, changing the first द्व into अम्, and the second द्व into अ ॥ The word द्वन्द्व itself means रहस्य or secret; while it marks 'limit' मर्यादा &c only secondarily, by context of the sentence. Thus द्वन्द्वं मन्त्रयन्ते 'they are consulting some secret'. Limit or मर्यादावचनः, as आचतुरं हीमे पशवो द्वन्द्वं मिथुनायन्ते = माता पुत्रेण मिथुनं गच्छति, पौत्रेण, तत्पुत्रेणापि ॥ (See Maitr. S. 1.7. 3 Sankh. Br. III.97). Separation of व्युत्क्रमण :- द्वन्द्वयुत्क्रान्ताः = द्विवर्गसम्बन्धेन पृथगवस्थिताः ॥ Vyutkramana means bheda or separation, placing at a different place. Employment with regard to a sacrificial vessel (यज्ञपात्रप्रयोगः) as — द्वन्द्वं यज्ञपात्राणि प्रयुनक्ति वीरः (See 1.3.64) ॥ अभिव्यक्तिः or manifestation : as द्वन्द्वं नारदपर्वतौ, द्वन्द्वं संकर्षण वासुदेवौ = द्वावप्यभिव्यक्तौ साहचर्येण ॥
The word द्वन्द्वं is found employed in connection with other senses also; as द्वन्द्वं युद्धं वर्त्तते, द्वन्द्वानि सहते धीरः, चार्थे द्वन्द्वः &c.
