Commentary
The affix यण् comes without changing the sense, after the words 1. अभिजित् 2. बिदभृत् 3. शालावत् 4. शिखावत् 5. शामीवत् 6. ऊर्णावत् and 7. श्रुमत् when those words end in the Patronymic affix अण् ।
The anuvritti of आयुधजीविसंघात् ceases. Thus अभिजितोऽपत्वम् = आभिजित्, add यञ् to this, आभिजित्यः; pl. आभिजिताः, बैदभृत्यः pl. बैदभृताः, शालावत्यः pl. शालावताः, pl. शैखावत्यः pl. शैखावताः, शामीवत्यः pl. शामीवताः, और्णावत्यः और्णावता, श्रौमत्यः and श्रौमताः ॥ The अण् here is Patronymic. Otherwise आभिजिति मुहूर्त्तः and आभिजितः स्थालीपाकः, the affix here is अण् of नक्षत्रेण युक्तः कालः 4.2.3 and of सास्यदेवता 4.2.24 respectively.
