अञ्चो ऽनपादाने

Adhyāya 8 · Pāda 2 · Rule 48

The niṣṭhā ta is changed to na after añc but not when it is in connection with an Ablative -5th case.,

Thus समक्नौ शकुनेः पादौ = सङ्गतौ; तस्मात् पशवो न्यक्नाः ॥

Why do we say 'when not in construction with an Ablative case'? Observe उदत्तमुदकं कूपात् = उद्धृतं 'drawn out'.

The word व्यक्तम् is from the root अञ्जू व्यक्तिम्रक्षण कान्तिगतिषु, and not from the root अञ्च्; and hence the Nishtha is not changed.,
