Commentary
The affix घ comes after the words 1. अपोनप्तृ and 2. अपन्नप्तृ in the sense of 'that its deity'.
This debars अण् ॥ Thus अपोनप्त्रियं हविः or अपांनप्त्रियम् ॥ The words अपोनपात् and अपांनपात् are the names of two deities; these words irregularly assume the form ending in नप्तृ when the affix is to be added.
