अहं-शुभमोः युस्

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

As a rewrite rule (sketch from case endings)
अहं- शुभमोः → युस्

Replace ahaṃ-śubhamoḥ with yus. Inherited words (anuvṛtti) may add further conditions.

Commentary

The affix युस् (यु) comes in the sense of मतुप् after the word अहम् and the indeclinable शुभम् 'good'.
Thus अहंयुः = अहंकारवान्, 'selfish haughty', शुभंयुः = कल्याणवान् ॥ 'auspicious'. The स् of युस् makes the words अहम् and शुभम्, Padas; and म् is changed into Anusvara 1.4.16; 8.3.23. See 5.2.123.
