The affix ksnu comes after the following verbs in the sense of 'the agent having such a habit etc.' viz. - 1. glā 'to be weary' 2. ji 'to conquer' 3. sthā 'to stand', as well as after bhū 'to be'.,
As, ग्लास्नुः 'languid'; जिष्णुः 'victorious'; स्थास्नुः 'disposed to stand firm, immoveable'; भूष्णुः 'being'.
The anuvritti of the word Chhandasi does not extend to this sutra. The indicatory letter of this affix is really ग and not क, and therefore, there is no substitution of long ई for the आ of स्था, which would otherwise have taken place, had the affix been कित् 6.4.66.
In the sutra (l. 1. 5.) (क्ङिति च) the letter ग is also included; for ग coming before क, is changed by the rules of sandhi into क and is not therefore visible. This affix therefore does not cause guna.
So also in sutra (VII. 2. II) (श्रयुकः किति), the augment इट् does not come after the verb स्नु, or a monosyllabic verb ending in the pratyahara उक, when an affix having an indicatory क follows. Here also क includes ग; and therefore in भूष्णु we have no intermediate augment इट्.
Vart:- In the Chhandas this affix comes after the verb दंश 'to bite'; as दङ्क्ष्णवः पशवः 'the beasts that bite'.,
