Description:

In the Dvandva compounds of the stars Tishya and Punarvasû, the dual constantly comes in the place of the plural. Source: Aṣṭādhyāyī 2.0

In a Dvaṁdva compound formed from names of asterisms (nakṣatra- dvaṁdvé) of tiṣyà- `a single star asterism' and púnarvasu `a twin-star asterism' the dual (dvi-vacanm) necessarily (nityam) replaces the plural (bahuvacanásya).
