Today we will look at the form अनयोः from श्रीमद्वाल्मीकि-रामायणम् ।

तदेतद्धनुषां श्रेष्ठमानीतं मुनिपुङ्गव |
दर्शयैतन्महाभाग अनयो राजपुत्रयोः || १-६७-११||

Gita Press translation “This bow, the best of all, has been brought (before you), O jewel among sages! (Kindly) show it (now), O highly blessed one, to these two princes.”

‘इदम्’ gets प्रातिपदिकसंज्ञा by 1-2-45 अर्थवदधातुरप्रत्ययः प्रातिपदिकम् and सर्वनाम-सञ्ज्ञा by 1-1-27 सर्वादीनि सर्वनामानि । The विवक्षा here is षष्ठी-द्विवचनम् । 4-1-2 स्वौजसमौट्छष्टाभ्याम्भिस्ङेभ्याम्भ्यस्ङसिँभ्याम्भ्यस्ङसोसाम्ङ्योस्सुप् mandates the प्रत्ययाः सुँ, औ, जस् etc. after the प्रातिपदिकम् ‘इदम्’ ।

(1) इदम् + ओस् ।

(2) इद अ + ओस । By 7-2-102 त्यदादीनामः, इदम् gets the अकारादेशः। As per 1-1-52 अलोऽन्त्यस्य , only the ending मकार: gets replaced. 1-3-4 न विभक्तौ तुस्माः prevents the ending सकारः of ओस् from getting इत्-सञ्ज्ञा ।

(3) इद् अ + ओस् । By 6-1-97 अतो गुणे, the अकारः at the end of ‘इद’ and the following अकारादेशः is replaced by अकारः (पररूपम्) as एकादेशः ।

(4) अन् अ + ओस् । By 7-2-112 अनाप्यकः, the इद् part of इदम् that is without the ककारः gets अन् as its replacement, when the विभक्तिः affixes of the आप्-प्रत्याहारः follow. आप् is the प्रत्याहारः made of the सुँप् affixes from टा until सुप्।

(5) अने + ओस । By 7-3-104 ओसि च, the ending अ of a प्रातिपदिकम् changes to ए when followed by the affix ओस् ।

(6) अनयोस् । अयादेशः by 6-1-78 एचोऽयवायावः।

(7) अनयोः । रुँत्व-विसर्गौ 8-2-66 ससजुषो रुः and 8-3-15 खरवसानयोर्विसर्जनीयः ।
