Pāṇini leaves out words that carry over from earlier sūtras. Expand to see the rule as a reader actually understands it.
अर्तिह्रीव्लीरीक्नूयीक्ष्माय्याताम् → पुक् / णौ
Replace artihrīvlīrīknūyīkṣmāyyātām with puk when ṇau follows. Inherited words (anuvṛtti) may add further conditions.
Commentary
The augment पुक् (प्) is added to the roots 1. ऋ 2. ह्री 3. व्ली 4. री 5. क्नुय् 6. क्ष्माय and to a root ending in long आ when the affix णि (the Causative) follows.
As अर्पयति, ह्रेपयति, व्लेपयति, रेपयति, क्नोपयति, क्ष्मापयति ॥ The anuvritti of every word other than अङ्ग 6.4.1 ceases. The य् of क्नूय् and क्ष्माय् drops by 6.1.66. The guna takes place by 7.3.86. Of the roots ending in long आ, we have दापयति, धापयति ॥ The root ॠ (Bhuadi 983) गतिप्रापणयोः, and ॠ (Juhotyadi 16) गतौ are both meant here. Similarly री includes रीङ् स्रवणे (Divadi 30), and री गतिरेषणयोः (Kryadi 30). The augment is added at the end of the preceding stem of root, and not to the affix. Being added to the root it becomes part of the root-stem, and in forming the reduplicate Aorist of such stems, the vowel before प् is shortened by 7.4.1. If प् were not the part of the stem, that vowel would not be shortened. Thus from दापयति; we have Aorist अदीदपत् ॥
