Replace non-padafinal m म् n न् with /M before serious.

This replacing with /M is compulsory.

**manas- मनस् n + /zi
→ manAns मनान्स् n + /zi by napuMsakasy... and sAntamahat...
→ **manAMsi मनांसि by this rule

However, the resulting M ं will only stay before /zar. Before stops, it will be compulsorily changed by anusvArasy... —

hanumat- हनुमत् m + strong
→ hanumant- हनुमन्त् + strong by ugidacAMs...
→ hanumaMt- + strong by this rule
→ !**hanumant- हनुमन्त् + strong by anusvArasy....

Because of this rule, a n न् that is before a serious will not be affected by /Natvam.

pakSa पक्ष + /matup m + /am
→ pakSavantam पक्षवन्तम्, like **hanumantam हनुमन्तम्
→ pakSava पक्षव + hum + tam तम् by this rule
→ (at this point the /Natvam rules will not work, because they affect n न्, not M ं)
→ !**pakSavantam पक्षवन्तम् compulsorily by anusvArasy...

Wait, didn't you say earlier that rule anusvArasy... is optional?

No, I didn't. I said that rule anusvArasy... is optional on PADAFINAL m म्. Rule nazcApadA नश्चापदा affects the non-padafinal m म् and n न् only.
