And the affix kāmyac is also used in the sense of 'wishing' after a word ending in a case-affix, expressing the object wished as connected with the wisher's self.,
Thus, पुत्रकाम्यति 'he wishes for a son of his own'.
The making of this a separate sutra instead of adding it with the last aphorism and making one sutra of them both, is for the sake of the subsequent sutra, where the anuvritti of kyach only runs, and not that of kamyach. The क of kamyach is not indicatory, but is a part of the real affix. Here, therefore, rule 1.3.8 which would have made the letter क indicatory, does not apply; because no particular purpose would be served by making indicatory. Or the affix kamyach may be considered to have an indicatory च before it i.e. the affix being chakamya.,
