सुवास्तु-
Pāṇini leaves out words that carry over from earlier sūtras. Expand to see the rule as a reader actually understands it.
Commentary
The affix अञ् comes after the words सुवास्तु etc. in the 4-fold sense.
This debars the affix अञ् which would have otherwise come by 4.2.71 and 4.2.73. Thus सुवास्तोरदूरभवं नगरं = सौवास्तवम् ॥ So also वार्णवम् ॥ The use of the word अण्, though its anuvritti came from 4.1.83, is for the sake of indicating that this sutra debars sutra 4.2.85. Thus सौवास्तवी नदी ॥
