The affix cha comes in the remaining senses after a prātipadika (Nominal Stem) denoting a place and having the word garta as its second term.,
This debars अण् ॥ The word देशे is to be read into the sutra. This rule being a subsequent one debars the affixes ठञ् and ञिठ् of sutra 117 ante. Thus वृकगर्तीयं, शृगालगर्तीयम्, श्वाविद्गर्तीयम् 'born in porcupine's hole &c'. The word उत्तरपद is used in the sutra, so as to prevent the application of the rule to a word which ends in गर्त, but is preceded by the affix बहु, as बाहुगर्तम् ॥ Here बहु is an affix 5.3.68 and not a pada.,
