स्फिग-पूत-वीणा-अञ्जो ऽध्व-कुक्षि-सीरनाम-नाम च

Adhyāya 6 · Pāda 2 · Rule 187

The words 1. sphiga 2. pūta 3. vīṇā 4. añjas 5. adhvam 6. kukṣi 6. nāman and a word denoting 'a plough' have acute accent (udātta) on the final when preceded by the preposition ap,

Thus अपस्फिग꣡म्, अपपूत꣡म्, अपवीण꣡म्, अपाञ्जः꣡, अपाध्वा꣡ (This ordains acute on the final where the compound apadhwa does not take the samasanta affix अच् by 5.4.85, when it takes that affix, the acute will also fall on the final because अच् is a चित् affix.) This further shows that the samasanta affixes are not compulsory. (अनित्यश्च समासान्तः), अपकुक्षिः, अपसीरः꣡ अपहलः꣡, अपलाङ्गल꣡म्, अपनाम꣡ ॥ These are प्रादि compounds or Bahuvrihi or Avyayibhavas. Some of these viz. स्फिग, पूत and कुक्षिः will be end-acute by 6.2.177, also when they denote parts of body and a permanent condition and the compound is a Bahuvrihi. Here the compound must not be a Bahuvrihi, nor should these words denote parts of body and permanent condition of these parts.,
