Commentary
Also an लोट् (Imperative Mood), following after an Imperative of verbs of 'motion' retains its accent when the subject or object of both the verbs is not wholly different.
Thus आगच्छ देवदत्त ग्रामं प꣡श्य ॥ आव्रज विष्णुमित्र ग्रामं शाधि ॥ आगम्यतां देवदत्तेन ग्रामो दृश्य꣡तां यज्ञदत्तेन ॥
But not here पच देवदत्तौदनं, भुङ्क्ष्वेनम् because the first Imperative is not one of गत्यर्थ verb. Nor here, आगच्छेर्देवदत्त ग्रामं पश्येनम् because the first verb is not Imperative but Potential.
If the subject and object of both Imperatives are wholly different, the rule will not apply. Thus आगच्छ देवदत्त ग्रामं, पश्यतु रामं यज्ञदत्तः ॥
By the force of the anvritti of सर्व the rule will apply to the following: आगच्छ देवदत्त ग्रामं, त्वं चाहं च पश्यावः ॥
The separation of this sutra from the last is for the sake of the subsequent sutra, by which the 'option' is with regard to लोट् and not लट् ॥
