Commentary

There is optionally लुक् elision of the affix denoting 'born therein' after the words 1. वत्सशाला 2. अभिजित् 3. अश्वयुक् and 4. शतभित्।
As वत्सशालायां जातः = वत्सशालः or वात्सशालः, अभिजित् or आभिजितः, अश्वयुक् or आश्वयुजः, शतभिक् or शातभिषजः ॥ The two words वत्सशाल and वत्सशाला are both to be taken. These are all diversities of बहुल as used in the next sutra.
