Commentary
The affixes ordained above or hereafter come after a word in the Locative -7th case in construction in the sense of 'born or grown or originated there or then'.
The affixes अण् &c. घ &c. have been taught, but no particular sense was assigned to them. See 4.2.92. This sutra gives one of the senses, and also declares the particular case in which the stem must be, to which the affix is to be added. Thus स्रुघ्नेजातः = स्रुघ्न + अण् = स्रौघ्नः 'born in Srughna'. So also माथुरः 'born in Mathura', औत्सः 'born in Utsa', औदपानः 'born in Udapana'. राष्ट्रियः 4.2.93, अवारपारीणः 4.2.93 शाकलिकः 4.2.117, ग्राम्यः 4.2.94, ग्रामीणः 4.2.94, कात्रेयकः 4.2.95 औम्भेयकः 4.2.95.
