युष्मद्-अस्मद्भ्याम् ङसः अश्

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)
ङसः → अश् / युष्मद्- अस्मद्भ्याम्

Replace ṅasaḥ with aś when it comes after yuṣmad-asmadbhyām. Inherited words (anuvṛtti) may add further conditions.

Commentary

अश् -- अनेकाल्शित्सर्वस्य 1.1.55, is substituted for the Genitive 6th-Case ending अस् after the अङ्ग (stems) युष्मद् and अस्मद्।
Thus तव and मम ॥ The indicatory श् of अश् shows that by 1.1.55, the whole of the affix अस् is to be replaced : otherwise it would have replaced only the first letter of the affix; and the affix not being a substitute-affix, rule 7.2.89, would not be applicable to it. The तव is substituted for युस्मद्, and मम for अस्मद् by 7.2.96; and तव + अ (अश्), and मम + अ = तव and मम् by 6.1.97.
