padafinal n न् optionally becomes nt न्त् before z श्.

Combining this with other sUtras, we conclude that

n न् + z श् makes Jz ञ्श्, Jch ञ्छ् or Jcch ञ्च्छ्.

tAn तान् + zapati शपति
→ tAnt तान्त् + zapati शपति optionally by this rule
→ tAnt तान्त् + chapati छपति optionally by zazchoTi
→ tAnc तान्च् + chapati छपति by stozzcunAzcuH
→ tAnc तान्च् + chapati छपति again by stozzcunAzcuH
→ tAJchapati ताञ्छपति optionally by jharojharis...
→ !**tAJchapati ताञ्छपति "curses them"

The option in jharojharis... is always taken in print. When it is not taken, we have —

!**tAJcchapati ताञ्च्छपति "curses them"

ITA —

tAn तान् + zapati शपति
→ **tAJzapati ताञ्शपति

So we have three options: **tAJcchapati ताञ्च्छपति, **tAJchapati ताञ्छपति and **tAJzapati ताञ्शपति. Therefore we might as well reword this rule together with jharojharis... as —

padafinal n न् plus z श् makes Jz ञ्श्, Jcch ञ्च्छ्, or Jch ञ्छ्, you choose.

Printed books have Jz ञ्श् most often, sometimes Jch ञ्छ्.
