स्तम्ब-
Pāṇini leaves out words that carry over from earlier sūtras. Expand to see the rule as a reader actually understands it.
Commentary
The affix इन् comes after the verb कृ when the objects in composition with it are the words स्तम्ब 'a sheaf' and शकृत् 'ordure'.
Thus स्तम्ब + कृ + इन् = स्तम्बकरि nom. sing. स्तम्बकरिः; so also शकृत्करिः.
Var:- This rule is applicable when the sense of the words to be formed, is that of 'rice' and 'a calf' respectively. Therefore स्तम्बकरिः means 'rice', and शकृत्करिः, 'a calf'.
When the words have not the senses of 'rice' and 'a calf', the affix अण् is employed. As स्तम्बकारः 'sheaf-maker', शकृत्कारः 'ordure-maker'.
