Pāṇini leaves out words that carry over from earlier sūtras. Expand to see the rule as a reader actually understands it.
Commentary
The affix अण् -- प्राग्दीव्यतोऽण् 4.1.83 comes after a word in construction in the Instrumental -3rd case, in the sense of seen - the thing seen by the one whose name is in the Instrumental -3rd case, being the साम वेद।
Thus क्रुञ्चेन दृष्टं = क्रौञ्चं साम "the portion of the Sama seen by (or revealed to) Kruncha." So also वासिष्ठम्, वैश्वामित्रम् ॥
