अस्मदि

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

Commentary

When the pronoun अस्मद् 'I', understood and also when expressed, is the attendant word in agreement with the verb, then there is the verbal termination called the Highest or 1st person.
This is clear. As अहं पचामि I cook, or merely पचामि-आवां पचावः or merely पचावः.
