स्वादिष्व् अ-सर्वनमस्थाने

Adhyāya 1 · Pāda 4 · Rule 17

When the affixes beginning with a su [[4.1.2]] and ending in kap [[5.4.151]] follow, not being sarvanāmasthāna [[1.1.43]] then that which precedes is called pada,

The affixes beginning with su and ending with kap are meant by the above sutra. Thus the case-affix भ्याम् (Ins Dual) is an affix included in the above. Thus राजन् + भ्याम् = राजभ्याम्, राजभिः, राजत्वं, राजता, राजतरः, राजतमः The न is elided by being pada.

Why do we say 'when not a Sarvanamasthana'? Observe राजन् + औ = राजानौ two kings. kings. राजानः kings. The न is not elided.,
