Commentary
[The suffix vati has been considered. Now another question is raised. When many objects of comparison are connected with one standard of comparison, does the latter also become many, following the number of the objects of comparison? The answer is that it does not. Remaining one, it serves all the objects of comparison. To strengthen this point, 叠丑补谤迟峁沨补谤颈 points out that in Vedic ritual, the number of the 补峁単补, mentioned in connection with the original (辫谤补办峁泃颈) 测腻驳补 is not changed for the vik峁泃i测腻驳补, because it is understood from the changed number of the 补峁単颈苍. Similarly, the number of the standard of comparison mentioned in connection with the 辫谤补办峁泃颈测腻驳补 is not changed for the vik峁泃i测腻驳补.]
