The words 1. go 2. tanti and 3. yava get the acute accent (udātta) on the first syllable when followed by pāla,
Thus गो꣡पालः, त꣡न्तिपालः, य꣡वपालः ॥ The word तन्ति is the rope with which calves are tied. (तनु विस्तारे + क्तिच्). This applies to words not denoting a functionary, which would be governed by 6.2.75. Why do we say गो &c? Observe वत्सपालः꣡ ॥ Why do we say 'followed by पाल'? Observe गोरक्षः꣡ ॥,
