The word rājan optionally retains its original accent after a profession-denoting noun when praise is expressed.,
Thus रा꣡जनापितः or राजनापितः꣡, रा꣡जकुलालः or राजकुलालः꣡ \A royal barber i. e. a skillful barber or one fit to serve the king even\ &c. It may be either a Karmadharaya or a Genitive compound. Why do we say 'राजन्'? Observe परमनापितः ॥ Why do we say 'when denoting praise'? Observe राजनापितः꣡ 'king's barber'. Why do we say 'a professional man'? Observe राजहस्ती 'a royal elephant'.,
