Itthiyaṃ bhāsitapum’-itthī pumā ’va ce

1. Dīghā jaṅghā yassa so ’yaṃ dīghajaṅgho (the legs of that [man] are long; he is “dīghajaṅgho” [one who has long legs]).
2. Kalyāṇā bhariyā yassa so ’yaṃ kalyāṇabhariyo ([one who has] a good wife).
3. Pahūtā paññā yassa so ’yaṃ pahūtapañño ([one who has] much wisdom).

What is the purpose of saying “bhāsitapuma” (that indicated masculine)? To prevent the operation of this rule when it did not indicate masculine in the past: Brāhmaṇabandhu ca sā bhariyā cā ti brāhmaṇabandhubhariyā (a relative of the brahmin and she is a wife, so [she is called] a wife that is a relative of a brahmin).
