Pīrājamānch (60) is apparently formed on analogy with sabdaj a- or the like, pūra 'filling' (adjective or noun) could yield pūrāy'ā- with lengthening of the final syllable according to Whitney ($1059 b) But pūra is active in sense, and in the context a passive is wanted.

An extremely anomalous type of compound is seen in the explanation of darsitāvartanābheh (30) where the two components are separated from cach other by the emphatic eva, thus avalokitajalabhramanarūpa eva-irāblupradeśāyāh Unfortunately, however, this solitary example is insufficient to establish whe
