Where it sits
The letter-wheel of 2.7 gets its mothers here. The eight groups of letters are not listed. The line names the first group and says the rest are included.
Split: kavargādiṣu (कवर्गादिषु) + māheśvaryādyāḥ (माहेश्वर्याद्याः) + paśumātaraḥ (पशुमातरः)

The phrases
In the ka (क)-group and the other groups, Māheśvarī (माहेश्वरी) and the others, the mothers of the bound. Locative, then two nominatives.
Sanskrit in this line
mātaraḥ (मातरः) is the nominative plural of mātṛ (मातृ), not a masculine a (अ)-stem. The visarga on ādyāḥ (आद्याः) stays before p (प्).
Say it back
Say where they stand, and whose mothers they are.
