Commentary
Also छ is added to the words 1. अपोनप्तृ and 2. अपन्नप्तृ in the sense of 'that its deity'.
The affix छ also comes in the sense of "that its deity" after the word Aponaptri and Apannaptri. This debars अण् ॥ Thus अपोनपत्रीयं or अपान्नप्त्रीयम् 'oblation sacred to Aponapat or Apannapat'. This is made a separate sutra, in order to prevent the application of rule 1.3.10. For if it was included in the last, the sutra would have run thus: "The affixes घ and छ come after Aponaptri and Apannaptri", the meaning of which according to maxim I.3.10 would have been "the affix घ comes after Aponaptri, and छ after Apannaptri". But this is not what the author intended. Hence two distinct sutras.
Vart:- The affix छ comes after the words पैंगाक्षीपुत्र &c. As, पैंगाक्षीपुत्रीयम्, तार्णबिन्दवीयम् ॥
Vart:- The word शतरुद्र takes घ and छ both : e. g. शतरुद्रीयम् and शतरुद्रियं ॥
