Pāṇini leaves out words that carry over from earlier sūtras. Expand to see the rule as a reader actually understands it.
Commentary
An affix having an indicatory त् , is स्वरित i.e. has circumflex accent.
Thus चिकी॒र्ष्य॑म्, जिही॒र्ष्य॑म्, formed by यत् 3.1.97. कार्य॑म्, हार्य॑म् with ण्यत् 3.1.124. This is an exception to 3.1.3 which makes all affixes adyudatta. For exception to this rule see 6.1.213 &c.
