Commentary

The acute accent is on the first syllable of युष्मद् and अस्मद् in the Dative Singular.
Thus तु꣡भ्यम् and म꣡ह्यम्, the forms त and मे are not governed by this rule. The making of two separate sutras is for the sake of preventing the application of यथासंख्य rule 1.3.10. Had the sutra been यु꣡ष्मदस्मदोर्ङिङणोः, then yushmad in the Dative, and asmad in the Genitive alone would have taken this accent.
