W for the preceding o and u. 

 When there is a vowel in the second place for the preceding 

 o and u wis sometimes substituted : thus swassa anweti. 



Why " sometimes" 1 [because of] tayassu* and sameta- 

 yasma. 



Idha ahantidha. 

 Do dhassa cha. 

 Sare pare dhassa kwachi do hoti. 



Dighe — idahan — kwachiti kin — idhewa— -cha karena by an- 

 janepi, idabhikkhawe. 



Take as an example idha ahan. 

 Da for dha andf [in other cases. ] 



When there is a vowel in the second place sometimes da 

 substituted for dha 



[After making the vowel] long : as idahan. Why " some- 

 times" ? [because of] idhewa. [This occurs] before a consonant 

 on account of [the word] cha [in the rule] : thus idabhikkhawe %

* According to preceding rule tayo X assu the combination should 

 be effected by the substitution of w for o : and on account of this excep- 

 tion the qualifying Kwachi occurs in the rule. Sametayasina is the result 

 of the combination of Sametu + ayasma. 



f The general rule is that the change of da for dha only takes place 

 when there is a combination of two vowels : the force of cha therefore is- 

 to convey that the same change takes place also when there is a conso- 

 nant in the second place. 



% This change occurs by force of the copulative cha although the 

 consonant bha is in the second place of the conjunction.

 kwachi chakaran, pappoti." u When there is a vowel in the second 

 place all ti sounds at option become cha." 



V T ide Kachchayana. " Saramha parassa byanjanassa dwe bhawo hoti
