The first finite verb only retains its accent in connection with ca and vā,
The anuvritti of अगतेः which was drawn in the last sutra, does not run into this. Thus गर्दभांश्च काल꣡यति, वीणां च वा॒॒द॒॒य॒॒ति॒॒ ॥ गर्दभान् वा काल꣡यति, वीणां वा वा॒॒द॒॒य॒॒ति॒॒ ॥
The word योग in the sutra indicates that the mere connection with the verb is meant, whether this connection takes place by adding these words च and वा, before the verb, or after the verb, is immaterial for the purposes of this sutra, (not so in the last). The word प्रथमा shows that the first verb is governed by this rule and not the second.,
