1. 1. “सखि” is the पुंलिङ्ग-प्रातिपदिकम् that we studied also has a unique declension.

   The rules that make it unique are :

   शेषॊ घ्यसखि (१.४.७) which takes the अनुवृत्ति from ङिति हृस्वश्च (१.४.६) and यू स्त्रॊखौ नदी (१.४.३)

2. 2. In this verse 11.16.13 from श्रीमद्भागवतम् विष्णू in the second line is in प्रथमा एकवचनम् – विष्णुः

   इन्द्रोऽहं सर्वदेवानां वसूनामस्मि हव्यवाट् ।
   आदित्यानामहं विष्णू रुद्राणां नीललोहितः ।।

3. Namaste,

   1. सखि शब्द:

   The rules are

   a) 1-4-7 शेषो घ्यसखि , this prohibits assigning घिसंज्ञा to सखि शब्द: . So all the rules related to the घि-संज्ञा will not apply to सखि.

   b) 7-1-93 अनँङ् सौ (Satishji’s notes: अनँङ् is substituted for the अङ्गम् (base) सखि when the non-vocative affix सुँ follows.)

   c) 7-1-92 सख्युरसम्बुद्धौ (Satishji’s notes: Following the word सखि that has the designation अङ्गम् , the non-vocative affixes that have the designation सर्वनामस्थानम् behave as if they have णकारः as an indicatory letter. )

   2. विष्णुस् + रुद्राणाम् (8-2-66 ससजुषो रुँ , 1-3-2 उपदेशेऽजनुनासिक इत् , 1-3-9तस्य लोपः 1-3-9 )
   => विष्णुर् + रुद्राणाम् (8-3-14 रो रि , 6-3-111 ढ्रलोपे पूर्वस्य दीर्घोऽणः )
   => विष्णू रुद्राणाम्

   Thank you Satishji.

4. There is another rule which specifically mentions “सखि” – which one is that?

5. It is chapter 10 (विभूतियोग: ) verse 21
   आदित्यानामहं विष्णुर्ज्योतिषां रविरंशुमान्‌ |
   मरीचिर्मरुतामस्मि नक्षत्राणामहं शशी || 10-21||

6. This पाद: “आदित्यानामहं विष्णु:” also comes in the गीता. Can you give the number of the श्लोक:?
