N.B. one of the main commentators on the pāṇinian dhāṭu-pāṭha, lists this dhātu as ज्ञप्^अ मारण-तोषण-निशामनेषु मिच् च (10P, to kill; to satisfy; to sharpen" and gives the following examples for each meaning: पशुं संज्ञपयति "he kills the sacrificial animal", विष्णुं विज्ञपयति "he satisfies viṣṇu", and शस्त्रं प्रज्ञपयति "he sharpens the weapon". however, this dhātu is often just listed as ज्ञप्^अ मिच् च, and the meaning is supplied by the commentator. in this regard, siddhānta kaumudī, commenting on मारण-तोषण-निशामनेषु ज्ञा, says ज्ञप मिच् च इति चुर्-आदौ, ज्ञापनं मारणादिकं च तस्यार्थः "among the cur-ādi-dhātus is ज्ञप्^अ मिच् च । its meanings are ज्ञापन and मारण and so on", and, commenting on the cur-ādi-dhātu ज्ञप्^अ मिच् च, it says अयम् ज्ञाने ज्ञापने च वर्तते "this dhātu is used in the sense of ज्ञान and ज्ञापन" । this last statement of siddhānta kaumudī is an observation based upon how pāṇini himself has used the dhātu । for example, in the dhāṭu-pāṭha, pāṇini says प्रच्छ्^अ ज्ञीप्सायाम् "the dhātu प्रच्छ्^अ (6p) is used in the sense of ज्ञीप्सा "inquiry, desire to know"" । here the meaning of ज्ञप्^अ is ज्ञान "knowing" । but in श्लाघ-ह्नुङ्-स्था-शपां ज्ञीप्स्यमानः (aṣṭādhyāyī 1.4.34) the meaning of ज्ञप्^अ is ज्ञापन "informing, causing to know" । therefore, considering all these opinions, the bṛhad-dhātu-kusumākara lists this dhātu as ज्ञप्^अ ज्ञान-ज्ञापन-मारण-तोषण-निशामनेषु (10p, "to know; to inform; to kill; to satisfy; to sharpen" । in the edition of HNV of ṁatsya āvatara dāsa therefore this dhātu is listed as ज्ञप्^अ (ज्ञान-ज्ञापन-)मारणादौ (10p, "to know; to inform; to kill; to satisfy; to sharpen" ।"
