Commentary
The निष्ठा त is not changed to न after 1. ध्या 2. ख्या 3. पॄ 4. मूर्छि and 5. मद।
Thus ध्यातः, ध्यातवान्, ख्यातः, ख्यातवान्, पूर्त्तः, पूर्त्तवान्, मूर्त्तः, मूर्त्तवान्, मत्तः, मत्तवान् ॥
This debars the न change prescribed by 8.2.42, 8.2.43.
The root मूर्च्छि is exhibited in the sutra_ in its lengthened form; the root मूर्च्छ is lengthened by 8.2.78, and the च्छ is elided before त by 6.4.21.
