कण्व-आदिभ्यो गोत्रे

Here the word गोत्रे does not qualify the sense of the base, nor does it give the sense of the affix. It simply means \that after a word ending with the affix which has been ordained after the words Kanva &c, in denoting a Gotra or Family-name; the affix अण् is employed in the remaining senses.\ This debars the affix छ 4.2.114. Thus काण्वाः \the pupils of Kanva\. गौकक्षाः 4.1.105.

Why do we say \when denoting Family-names?\ Thus the word काण्व, when it means कण्व देवताऽस्य, forms its secondary derivative काण्वीयम् by छ ॥

The Kanva-class is a sub-class of Gargadi. The Family-names from कण्व and गौकक्ष are का꣡ण्व्य and गौ꣡काक्ष्य by rule 4.1.105. To this, the affix अण् is added. काण्व्य + अण् = काण्वः꣡ 6.4.148 and 6.4.152.,
