Commentary
An affix comes after a word denoting 'time' being in the Locative -7th case in construction meaning 'sown therein'.
Thus हेमन्ते उप्यन्ते = हैमन्ता यवाः 'the barley sown in autumn.' ग्रैष्मा व्रीहयः ॥
The separation of this sutra from the last, is for the sake of the subsequent sutra in which the anuvritti of उप्त only goes, which could not have been the case had this word been included in the last sutra.
