The affix ac is added to the word nāsikā final in a bahuvrīhi samāsa when it expresses a name whereby nas is substituted for nāsikā , but not so when the word sthūla precedes the word nāsikā,
Thus द्रुरिव नासिकाऽस्य = द्रुणसः, वाद्ध्रीणसः ॥ The न is changed to ण by 8.4.3 so also गोनसः ॥ Why do we say \when it is a Name\? Observe तुंगनासिकः ॥ Why do we say
ot after स्थूल?\ Observe स्थूलनासिको वराह ॥
Vart:- After the words खुर and खर, for नासिका is substituted मस् but no affix is added : as, खुरणाः, खरणाः ॥ In the alternative, the affix अच् is added, as खुरणसः, खरणसः ॥
Ishti:- The forms शितिनाः, अर्चनाः and अहिनाः are valid in the Revelation (the Vedas).,
