कुरु-नादिभ्यो ण्यः

Adhyāya 4 · Pāda 1 · Rule 172

The affix ṇya comes after the word kuru and a word beginning with na when these words denote a country being the name of a kṣatriya tribe also.,

This debars 'an' and 'an'. Thus कौरव्यः, नेषव्यः 'the son of Kuru and Nishadha'. The affix denotes 'the king there of' also, as कौरव्यो राजा ॥ How do you explain the form नैषधोर्हति चेदघम् ? This is an archaic or Vedic form. How then in सनैषधस्यार्थपतेः सुतायां ? This is a poetic license.,
