Dear McComas, The reduplication suggests it is an adjective of an intensive stem. Sayana’s comment suggests the same.

In his Bālamanoramā under this sūtra, Vāsudeva Dīkṣita quotes ṛgveda 1.1.8 “gopām ṛtasya dīdivim” and says that the word is used with meaning of ‘dyotamāna’.

There is a word describing Agni: dī́divim (MAcS of stem dī́divi), meaning 'shining'. We can see the root dī, which forms stems in both dīdī and dīdi. What part of speech is dī́divi and how it is formed? Thanks in advance.
