Commentary

अङ् is the substitute of च्लि after the verbs पुष् 'to nourish' and the rest; द्युत् 'to shine' and the rest; and the verbs having an indicatory ऌ , when the affixes of the परस्मैपद follow.
The verbs classed as पुषादि, are a sub-division of the 4th conjugational verbs; and द्युतादि verbs belong to the Ist conjugation. As पुष्, अपुषत् 'he nourished'; द्युत्, अद्युतत् 'he shone'; गम्लृ, अगमत् 'he went'. But not so in the Atmanepada; as व्यद्योतिष्ट, अलोतिष्ट.
