Satiśiṣṭa (सतिशिष्ट).—Prescribed subsequently; occurring after the preceding has taken place; cf. सति शिष्टोपि विकरणस्वरः सार्वधातुकस्वरं न बाधते (sati śiṣṭopi vikaraṇasvaraḥ sārvadhātukasvaraṃ na bādhate); although the words सति (sati) and शिष्टः (śiṣṭaḥ) are separate still it is habitual to take them combined in an adjectival sense and make the word सतिशिष्ट (satiśiṣṭa) an adjective to the word स्वर (svara) as in the dictum सतिशिष्टस्वरबलीयस्त्वं च (satiśiṣṭasvarabalīyastvaṃ ca) P. VI. 1. 158 Vart. 9.
