All the vowels of the words ir: Ttj &c., had anud&tta accent by rule VIII. 1. 19 (all vocatives get anud&tta if standing in the middle of a sentence and not beginning a stanza.) The word " sanhita" has been used in the sutra to show.that when there is a hiatus between the words then there is no change of anud&tta into, ekasruti. The word sanhita will be defined in sutra I. 4. 109. VKSV, P3cR:, ( 9?3rTT?nf ) II f Ftt: II 3ttttc5t ftfTTCT Tl1l-HtJ RrnrTRn' TCfT H 40.

There is another explanation which does not take the anuvritti of Ekasruti in this sutra. The anud&tta is replaced by sannatara when such anudatta immediately precedes an udatta or a svarita. The sannatara is also called anudatta. Asr TT yiHMfil: II Here the word ipfC: is anudatta. The word sspf: has udatta on the last syllable by VI. 1. 171.
