प्राग् वहतेष् ठक्

This is an adhikara sutra. The affix ठक् bears rule from this one forward to the sutra तद्वहति &c. Thus in the next sutra it is said; \After a word in the third case in construction\, in the sense of \who plays, digs, conquers, or is conquered.\ Now this sutra is incomplete. We must read the word ठक् into it. Thus अक्षै र्दीव्यति = आक्षिकः \who plays with aksha--a dicer.\ अक्ष + ठक् = आक्षिकः 7.3.50.

Vart:- After the words माशब्द &c, the affix 'thak' comes in the sense 'he said that.' Thus माशब्द इत्याह = माशब्दिकः who says 'don't make noise,' कार्यशब्दिकः ॥ This is the case of an affix added to a sentence.

Vart:- So also after प्रभूत &c in the sense 'he said': as प्रभूतमाह = प्राभूतिकः, पार्याप्तिकः ॥ These are examples of affixes added to an adverb.

Vart:- So also after सुस्नात &c in the sense 'he asks,' as, सुस्नातं पृच्छति = सौस्नातिकः \Who asks, have you bathed well\. सौखराजिकः, सौखशायनिकः ॥

Vart:- So also after परदारा &c in the sense of 'he goes to, or commits adultery with': as परदारान् गच्छति = पारदारिकः, गौरुतल्पिकः ॥ The word तल्प here refers to \wife\.,
