Pāṇini leaves out words that carry over from earlier sūtras. Expand to see the rule as a reader actually understands it.

Commentary

After the verb जि 'to conquer', preceded by वि or परा , the आत्मनेपद affix is employed.
As विजयते 'he conquers', पराजयते 'he conquers.' The words vi and para must be upasargas (prepositions), for the application of this rule. In the following examples, they are used as substaintives बहुविजयति वनम्, पराजयति सेना ॥
