Why does the author say "असिरिति व्याख्यानात्"? Because in "अदसोऽसेर्दादु दो मः", the word is "असेः". If the word is "अस्", the genitive is "असः"! Why is it "असेः"? Because Panini added an 'इ'! So it is "असि"! Why did Panini add 'इ'? "उच्चारणार्थः"! "असेरिति निर्देशे इकार उच्चारणार्थ इति भावः"! YES! THAT IS THE ENTIRE POINT! In "असेः", the 'इ'कार is for pronunciation! Now look at the text of note 5 with this knowledge: "५ - '...'" What word is in quotes? Is it "'असेः'"? Wait, how could it be written? Could it be "'इकारः'"? "५ - 'इ'..."
