Commentary
The words प्राप्त 'obtained', and आपन्न 'obtained' are optionally compounded with words ending in a Second Case-affix and form तत्-पुरुष compound.
The anuvritti of the words ekadesin and ekadhikarana does not exist here. This aphorism states an alternative course to rule 2.1.24. Thus we have प्राप्तजीविकः (प्राप्तो जीविकां) or जीविकाप्राप्तः 'obtained his livelibood.' So also आपजीविकः or जीविकापन्नः.
