Gati-buddhi-bhuja-paṭha-hara-kara-sayādīnaṃ payoge kārite dutiyāvibhatti hoti vā.

Puriso purisaṃ (gāmaṃ) gāmayati, puriso purisena vā, puriso purisassa vā. Evaṃ bodhayati, bhojayati, pāṭhayati, hārayati, kārayati, sayāpayati. Evaṃ sabbattha kārite.

Or in the causative of ‘gati’, ‘buddhi’, ‘bhuja’, ‘paṭha’, ‘hara’, ‘kara’, ‘si’, etc.
In connection with the causative of ‘gati’ (going), ‘buddhi’ (knowing), ‘bhuja’ (eating), ‘paṭha’ (reciting), ‘hara’ (carrying), ‘kara’ (doing), ‘saya’ (lying down), etc., there is optionally the second inflection.
Examples
  1. Puriso purisaṃ (gāmaṃ) gāmayati (the man causes the man to go to the village); puriso purisena vā, puriso purisassa vā. (The object of the causative can also be in the third inflection, “purisena”, or in the sixth inflection, “purisassa”.)
  2. Thus with “bodhayati”, causes to know; “bhojayati”, causes to eat; “pāṭhayati”, causes to read; “hārayati”, causes to carry; “kārayati”, causes to do; “sayāpayati”, causes to lie down. Thus everywhere in the causative.
