Commentary
The end syllable of an आम्रेडित Vocative Case is प्लुत when threat is expressed.
A Vocative is reiterated when threat is meant 8.1.8. Its final syllable becomes pluta. Thus चौर꣡ चौरा꣡३ घातिष्यामि त्वा ॥ So also वृषल वृषला꣡३ बन्धयिष्यामि त्वा, दस्य दस्यो३ &c.
Though the anuvritti of the sutra 8.2.82, is current here, yet the final of the sentence is not pluta, but of the amredita.
Vart:- It should be rather stated that any one of the repeated words may be pluta by alternation. Thus चौरा꣡३ चौर or चौर꣡ चौरा꣡३ ॥ The word amredita is employed in the sutra as illustrative of the doubling, for threat is expressed by both words, so pluta may be of both words in turn: and not of the second word only, though that is called technically amredita.
