Commentary

The affix छण् comes in the sense of 'enounced by him' after the words 1. तित्तिरि 2. वरतन्तु 3. खण्डिक and 4. उख।
Thus तैत्तिरीयाः 'those who learn 4.2.64 the Veda enounced by Tittiri'. वारतन्तवीयाः, खाण्डिकीयाः, औखीयाः ॥

According to Kasika this is confined to the Chhandas only. Therefore it will not apply to secular Slokas, as तित्तिरिणा प्रोक्तं श्लोकः ॥ The word Chhandas is drawn from sutra 4.3.106 and from तद्विषयता from 4.2.66.
