Before the word sabhā when it is exhibited as Neuter, the first member of the compound gets the acute accent (udātta) on the last syllable.,
Thus गोपाल꣡सभम्, पशुपाल꣡सभम्, स्त्री꣡सभम्, दासी꣡सभम्, गावडाल꣡सभम् ॥ Why do we say 'before सभा'? Observe ब्राह्मणसभम् ॥ Why do we say 'when in the Neuter'? Observe राजसभा, ब्राह्मणसभा ॥ The word सभा becomes Neuter under Rules 2.4.23 — 2.4.24: therefore when the word सभा does not become Neuter under those rules, then by the maxim of Pratipadokta &c: the accent does not fall on the final of the preceding term as, रमणीयसभं, here the word सभा is neuter not by the force of any particular rules, but because the thing designated (अभिधेय) is neuter.,
