Also after the word varaṇa etc. the affix denoting locality becomes elided but the number and gender are not changed.,
After the words वरण the quadruply significant affix is elided by लुप् ॥ The origination of this rule is for the sake of what is not a kingdom (or जनपद), to which the last rule applies. Thus वरणानामदूरभवं नगरं = वरणाः \the city (not a kingdom) not far from the place Varana\, So also शृङ्गी, शाल्मलयः ॥
The word च in the sutra implies that this rule applies even to words other than those which are given in the list of वरणादि ॥ As कटुकबदरी \a city near to bitter Badari tree\.
