In Apabhramsa यद् , तद् and किम् pronouns, when ending in अ , accept आसु as the Gen. sing. term. optionally. (1) कान्तः भदीयः हला सखिके निश्चयेन रुष्यति यस्य ।
अस्त्रैः शस्त्रैः हस्ताभ्यां अपि स्थानमपि स्फोटयति तस्य ॥ "My husband, when seriously (lit. 'definitely) offended by some one, o friend, destroys by missiles, weapons, and even by hand his ultimate abode (of shelter)."
