The personal endings of the loṭ (Imperative Mood) are as those of the laṅ (Imperfect Tense).,
This is an अतिदेश sutra; as in the लङ् there are the affixes ताम्, तम्, त, व and म, so also in the लोट् । Thus पचताम्, पचतम्, पचत, पचाव, पचाम ।
Q -- If लोट् is like लङ्, why have we not the augment अट्, आट्, or the substitution of जुस् or झि (see 3.4.111) in the case of लोट् also ?
A. -- The वा of sutra 3.4.83 is understood in this sutra also, so that the analogy between लोट् and लङ् is a limited analogy and does not make all the rules which are applicable to लङ्, equally applicable to लोट् also.,
