Ram Shankar Bhattacharya cites the sloka in this form:

sUtrasthaM padam AdAya padaiH sUtrAnusAribhiH /
svapadAni ca varNyante bhASyaM bhASyavido viduH //

And he gives as source: Parasara Upapurana, adhyaya 18; see
R. S. Bhattacharya: "Kinds of expositions in Sanskrit
literature." In: ABORI 36 (1955), 123-132, resp. 127.
