2A, seṭ, sak
to speak, say, tell
N.B. amṛta - the dhātu चक्ष्इङ् is always preceded by आङ् when the meaning is व्यक्तायां वाचि "to speak, say, tell", but not when the meaning is something else । thus व्यचक्षत "he saw" (laṅ āt. 1.3 of वि + चक्ष्इङ् व्यक्तायां वाचि) and समचक्षिष्ट "he excluded" (luṅ āt. 1.1 of सम् + चक्ष्इङ् व्यक्तायां वाचि) ।
saṁśodhinī - although the dhātu चक्ष्इङ् has the indicatory letter "i", it doesn't take न्उम् by इ-रामेद्-धातोर् नुम् (344) because the i is not kevala since it is accompanied by "ṅ" (see āmṛta 440) । moreover, by saying "the i is for the sake of pronunciation (उच्चारण), jīva gosvāmī blocks the insertion of न्उम् in another way, because if an indicatory letter is used to aid pronunciation (उच्चाराण) it cannot also be the cause of a rule or prohibition (विध्य्-आदि-निमित्त) । furthermore, although the dhātu चक्ष्इङ् is listed in the dhāṭu-pāṭha as meaning व्यक्तायां वाचि "to speak, say, tell", it is frequently used in the meaning of दर्शन "to see" , and when it has this meaning it is not preceded by आङ् । thus, in his commentary on the bhāg. entitled bhāvārtha-dīpikā, śrīdhara svāmī glosses अचष्ट (laṅ āt. 1.1 of चक्ष्इङ् व्यक्तायाम् वाचि) in bhāg. 4.9.8 as अपश्यत् "he saw" and अचक्षत (laṅ āt. 1.3 of चक्ष्इङ् व्यक्तायाम् वाचि) in bhāg. 3.2.24 as अपश्यन् "they saw" । therefore whenever the dhātu चक्ष्इङ् isn't preceded by आङ् it means "to see," but when it is preceded by आङ् it means "to speak, say, tell ।"
