न दण्डमाणव-अन्तेवासिषु

Adhyāya 4 · Pāda 3 · Rule 130

The affix vuñ is not used after a Family-name when it denotes 'a beginner pupil' and 'a boarder pupil'.,

The word दण्डमाणवाः means a little naughty boy (माणव), the only means of instilling knowledge in whom is the rod (खण्ड), or whose principal sign of studentship is the 'danda' and nothing intrinsic. i.e. a mere beginner. The न is changed to ण in माणव by 4.1.161 karika. अन्तेवासिनः are pupils or boarders who live in their teacher's house. The word 'gotra' is understood here. Thus दाक्षाः 'the junior or the senior pupils of Dakshi.' माहकाः ॥ So also गौकक्षा दण्डमाणवा अन्तेवासिनोवा ॥,
