भञ्ज-भास-मिदो घुरच्

Adhyāya 3 · Pāda 2 · Rule 161

The affix ghurac comes in the sense of 'agent having such a habit etc.' after the verbs 1. bhañj 'to break' 2. bhās 'to shine' 3. bhid 'to be fat'.,

As भञ्ज् + घुरच् = भङ्ग् + डर 7.3.52 = भङ्गुरः 'brittle'; the palatal being changed into guttural, because of the indicatory घ. So also मेदुरः पशुः 'a fat beast'; भासुरं ज्योतिः 'splendid light'.

After the verb भञ्ज् this affix gives a reflexive signification-- that which naturally breaks of itself.,
