Full reading

मयतेः अन्यतरस्याम्

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

As a rewrite rule (sketch from case endings)
मयतेः → / अन्यतरस्याम्

Replace mayateḥ with it when anyatarasyām follows. Inherited words (anuvṛtti) may add further conditions.

Commentary

इ may optionally be substituted for the आ of मा (मयति) before ल्यप् ।
Thus अपमित्य or अपमध्य ॥
