Pāṇini leaves out words that carry over from earlier sūtras. Expand to see the rule as a reader actually understands it.

Commentary

In each sūtra from this one forward to -- तस्मै हितम् 5.1.5, the affix यत् bears rule.
Thus in the next sutra तद्वहति रथयुगप्रासङ्गम् we must read the affix यत् ॥ रथ्यः, युग्यः, प्रासङ्ग्यः ॥
