Commentary

The affixes अण् and अञ् come respectively after the words सिन्धु etc. and तक्षशिला etc. in the sense of 'this is his native land'.
Thus सैन्धवः, वार्णवः ॥

Many of the words occurring in Sindhu-class, are found in Kachchhadi class 4.2.133 also. Those words would have taken अण् by sutra 4.2.133. The present sutra prevents the affixing of वुञ् 4.2.134 to those words under circumstances mentioned in sutra 4.2.134, when the further significance of अभिजन is added to them.

So also ताक्षशिलः, वात्सोद्धरणः &c.
