Commentary
After the lengthened आ of the reduplicate of अश् (अश्नोति) comes the augment नुट् (न्) before the short अ in the लिट् (Perfect Tense).
This applies to a case where the root does not contain a double consonant. Thus व्यानशे, व्यानशाते, व्यानशिरे ॥ The rule applies to अश् (Svadi 18) and not to अश् (Kryadi 51); there we have आश, आशतुः, आशुः ॥
