सन्धिवेल-आद्य्-ऋतु-नक्षत्रेभ्यो ऽण्

Adhyāya 4 · Pāda 3 · Rule 16

The affix aṇ comes in the remaining senses after the words saṃdhivelā etc. and the words expressing 'season' and 'asterism'.,

The word कालात् is to be read into the sutra. All the words must be expressive of time. This debars ठञ् ॥ The repetition of अण् debars छ also in the case of those words, which are Vriddha in this list 4.2.114. Thus (1) सान्धिवेलम्, सान्ध्यम् (2) ग्रैष्मम्, शैशिरम् (3) तेषम्, पौषम् are examples of sandhivela season and asterisms respectively.

The affix अण् is added to संवत्सर when denoting 'fruit' and 'festival', as सांवत्सरं फलं or पर्व ॥

1 संधिवेला, 2 संध्या, 3 अमावास्या, 4 त्रयोदशी, 5 चतुर्दशी, 6 पञ्चदशी, 7 पौर्णमासी, 8 प्रतिपद्, 9 संवत्सरात्फलपर्वणोः ॥,
