Commentary
The affix यत् (यं) comes in the sense of 'long standing' after the word काल being the Nominative 1st-Case in construction.
As प्रकृष्टो कालोऽस्य = कालिकमृणम् "long-standing debt". कालिकम् वैरम् "long-standing enmity".
In this sutra काल and तदस्य are understood, but not so the word प्राप्तम् ॥
