न द्व्य्-अचः प्राच्य-भरतेसु

Adhyāya 4 · Pāda 2 · Rule 113

The affix aṇ is however not added to a word which though ending in the Patronymic affix iñ consists of two syllables when it is the family name of Eastern People or of bharata,

This sutra debars अण् which would have come by the last sutra. The result being, that the words answering to the description given in this aphorism, form the शैषिक derivatives by the affix छ 4.2.114. Thus पौष्कीयाः, काशीयाः from पौष्कि, काशि ॥ Why do we say \consisting of two syllables\? Observe पान्नागाराः formed by अण् from पान्नागारि ॥

Why do we say \when it denotes the family-names of East folks or Bharata\? Observe: दाक्षाः from दाक्षि ॥

Q. How do you form काशीय when by rule 4.2.116, the proper form would be काशिकी or काशिका ?

Ans. The word काशि of sutra 116 refers to a country because it occurs with चेदि, while the काशि of the example under the present aphorism is a Family-name.

The Bharatas belong also to the East-Folk or Prachyas. Their separate mention here indicates by Jhapaka or inference, that whereever Prachya is used in these sutras, it does not include the Bharatas. See (II 4. 66).,
