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

Commentary

Whatever will be taught in the following up to the end of this अध्याय should be understood to apply to the nominal stems called भ -- यचि भम् 1.4.18, तसौ मत्वर्थे 1.4.19.
Thus sutra 6.4.130 says 'पद् is the substitute of पाद्' ॥ It means पद् is substituted for पाद् when the latter gets the designation of भ ॥ Thus द्विपदः पश्य, द्विपदा कृतम् but द्विपादौ, दिपादः where the affixes are those of Sarvanamasthana.
