बहुव्रीहेश् च अन्तोदत्तात्

The word क्तात् of the last aphorism governs this also. This sutra applies to those Bahuvrihi compounds in which the first member is a svanga word. But if the antecedent member is not a svanga word, then the application of the rule is optional. As शंखभिन्नी 'having a rent on the temporal bone', ऊरुभिन्नी 'having a rent on the thigh'. गलकोत्कृन्नी (गलमुत्कृत्तमस्या), केशलूनी ॥ By 2.2.36 Vart जातिकालसुखादिश्यः परवचनम्, the Nishtha stands in the second place, otherwise by 2.2.36 it ought to have formed the first member of the compound. The words शंख &c. are jati words, and by 6.2.170, the acute is on the final.

Why do we say \after a Bahuvrihi compound ?\ Observe पादपतिता which is an Ablative Tatpurusha compound 2.2.38. The compounding is by 2.1.32, and it has acute on the final by 6.2.144.

Vart:- Prohibition must be stated in the case of the participle जात 'born', which is also acutely accented on the final. Thus दन्तजाता 'a female who has cut her teeth;' स्तनजाता 'a female whose breast has been developed'. See 2.2.36 Vart.

Vart:- In the case of words पाणिगृहीती &c, the affix is employed in certain senses only. Thus पाणिगृहीती 'a wife'; (अग्निसाक्षिकं यस्याः पाणिर्गृह्यते); but पाणिगृहीता 'a woman whose hands have been taken, but not before the sacred fire, a concubine &c.'

Vart:- Exception must be stated in the case of compounds, the antecedent member of which is any one of the following words :- बहु, नञ, सु, words denoting time, सुख &c. Thus बहुकृता, अकृता, सुकृता, मासजाता, संवत्सरजाता, सुखजाता or दुःखजाता &c.

Bahuvrihi compounds get acute accent on the final syllable when they fall under the rules 6.2.170 and the following.,
