रञ्जेः च

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

Commentary

The nasal of रञ्ज् is also elided before the गणविकरण शप्।
As रजति, रजतः, रजन्ति ॥ The separation of this from the preceding is for the sake of the subsequent sutras in which the anuvritti of ranj only runs and not of dans &c.
