व्रीह्यादिभ्यश् च

Adhyāya 5 · Pāda 2 · Rule 116

The affixes ini and ṭhan come in the sense of matup after the words vrīhi etc. as well as the affix matup ,

Thus व्रीहिन् (nom. व्रीही), व्रीहिकः, व्रीहिमान्, मायी, मायिकः, मायावान् ॥

These two affixes, however, do not come after all व्रीह्यादि words. According to Patanjali, the affix इनि comes after शिखादि sub-division, and the affix इकन् after यवखदादि sub-division, after the remaining words, both इनि and ठन् (= इकन्) come. The शिखादि after which इनि only comes are:- 1 शिखा, 2 मेखला, 3 संज्ञा, 4 बलाका, 5 माला, 6 वीणा, 7 वडवा, 8 अष्टका, 9 पताका, 10 कर्मन्, 11 चर्मन्, 12 हंसा, ॥ The यवखद &c. are the following 1 यवखद, 2 कुमारी, 3 मौ; they take इकन् only. The rest take both. The word व्रीहि will get these affixes by the next sutra also, why is it then read in this class? The word व्रीहि in the Tundadi class 5.2.117, does not mean the word-form व्रीहि, but words synonym with it. Thus शालयोऽस्य सन्ति = शालिलः, शाली, शालिकः, शालिमान् ॥ The word शीर्ष preceded by the negative particle, takes these affixes, as आशीर्षी and अशीर्षिकः ॥ The remaining words are व्रीहि, माया, शाला, केका, वर्मन्, दंष्ट्रा, संज्ञा ॥,
