Commentary
The affixes कक् and कन् come respectively after the words 1. अपमित्य and 2. याचित when the sense is that of completion.
Thus आपमित्यकम् 'debt', and याचितकम् 'a thing begged for use'. The word अपमित्य is formed from the root मा with the prefix अप, and the suffix क्त्वा 3.4.19. The क्त्वा is changed to ल्यप्, and इ substituted for आ 6.4.70. The word is an Indeclinable, and therefore the anuvritti of तेन does not run here.
