Commentary
Why are P. 2.3.51 and the following 蝉奴迟谤补蝉 given considering that the sixth case-affix can come in all the cases mentioned in these 蝉奴迟谤补蝉 by P. 2.3.50?
[Read verse 159 above]
[In P. 2.3.50 鈥榯he rest鈥� is given as the present state of what was a means like karma before. That becomes, therefore an adjective qualifying 鈥榯he rest鈥�. Even though the sixth case-affix can come by P. 2.3.50, some cases are separately mentioned in P. 2.3.51: in order that the sixth case-affix may actually be used and not elided. In other words, the purpose is to prevent the formation of a compound word where the sixth case-affix would naturally be elided.]
