[On the word] 'svap': it is a bahuvrīhi meaning 'a lake in which waters are good'. When the compound-final suffix by 'ṛkpūḥ...' would apply, there is the prohibition 'na pūjanāt'. As for what was said by the older grammarian—'because it is non-obligatory'—that was an error. However, [the form] does not occur by 'dvyantarupasargebhyaḥ...', because, as will be explained, that [rule] is an imitation of [a word] in which the compound-final suffix has already been applied.
[On the word] 'supumāṃsi': in the opinion of the older grammarian who explains [the rule] 'puṃso'suṅ' as [applying] 'when suṭ follows', this would not be established in 'śas', and there would be an overapplication in 'auṅ'. For us, however, who state according to the sūtra 'when a sarvanāmasthāna follows', all desired forms are established. This is the purport.
