I haven't seen prādhunika in the witnesses for this particular verse.
The printed editions and most MSS I have seen of the
Praśnatantra/Praśnakaumudī/Jyotiṣakaumudī attributed to Nīlakaṇṭha
tend to have prāyaṇika, though there must be dozens of editions I
haven't seen, and hundreds if not thousands of MSS. The single MS I've
seen of the original Praśnatantra (which is the middle part of
Samarasiṃha's tripartite Pṛcchoddeśa) has something that, to be
honest, could be either prāghuṇaka or prādyuṇaka, though I'd say it
looks slightly more like a dyu to me. The MS that unquestionably has
prādyuṇika is of the 'Nīlakaṇṭha' text, but contains a greater
proportion of Samarasiṃha's work than most such MSS, and generally
superior readings.
It would be interesting to know how pāhuṇiya and related forms were
used in western and northwestern vernaculars around the 13th century,
especially whether they typically had connotations of kinship or close
relations (contrasting with the status of a guest in general). I'm not
sure where to look for that sort of information, though.
Best wishes,

This is interesting. Instead of prādhunika being a lipidoṣa as
claimed here, it can also be a result of a re-Sanskritization to
convert the Prakrit pāhuṇia/pāhuṇiya > prādhunika. From prādhunika >
prādyuṇika it is one more step?

please take a view at PrakritProperNames: "prādhunika is due to
