Pacādi (पचादि).—A class of roots headed by the root पच् (pac) to which the kŗt. affix अ (a) (अच् (ac)) is added in the sense of 'an agent'; e. g. श्वपचः, चोरः, देवः (śvapacaḥ, coraḥ, devaḥ) etc. The class पचादि (pacādi) is described as आकृतिगण (ākṛtigaṇa) and it is usual with commentators to make a remark पचाद्यच् (pacādyac) when a kŗt affix अ (a) is seen after a root without causing the vŗddhi substitute to the preceding vowel or to the penultimate vowel अ. cf. अज्विधिः सर्वधातुभ्यः पठ्यन्ते च पचादयः । अण्बाधनार्थमेव स्यात् सिध्यन्ति श्वपचादघः (ajvidhiḥ sarvadhātubhyaḥ paṭhyante ca pacādayaḥ | aṇbādhanārthameva syāt sidhyanti śvapacādaghaḥ) Kāś. on P. III. 1.134.
