Commentary
Of the two Vocatives of the same form standing at the beginning of a sentence, the end vowel of the first becomes प्लुत and स्वरित when envy, praise, anger or blame is expressed.
The vocative is doubled by 8.1.8. This sutra ordains pluta there. Thus Envy:- माणवका॑ ३ माणवक, अभिरूपका॑३ अभिरूपक, रिक्तं त अभिरूप्यम् ॥ Praise:- माणवका॑३ माणवक, अ꣡भिरूपका॑३ अभिरूपक शोभनः खल्वसि ॥ Anger:- माणवका॑३ माणवक, अ꣡विनीतका॑३ अविनीतक इदानीं ज्ञास्यसि जाल्म ॥ Blame:- शाक्तीका॑३ शाक्तीक, वाष्टीका३ वाष्टीक रिक्ता ते शक्तिः ॥
Vart:- The word "optionally" should be read into this sutra. Thus there is no pluta and svarita in one alternative. As माणवक माणवक &c.
