अनितेः
Pāṇini leaves out words that carry over from earlier sūtras. Expand to see the rule as a reader actually understands it.
Commentary
The न of the verb अन् 'to breathe', is changed to ण , when preceded by an उपसर्ग competent to produce the change.
Thus प्र + अनिति = प्राणिति "he breathes'. पराणिति ॥ For इट् augment, see 7.2.76.
