Commentary
The indeclinable word अच्छ 'before in the presence of' is called गति , when used in the composition with verbs denoting 'motion' or with the verb वद् 'to speak'.
The word अच्छ is an indeclinable and has the force of the word अभि. As अच्छगत्य, अच्छगतम्, and यदच्छगच्छति. So also अच्छोद्य अच्छोदितम् and यदच्छवदति when not an Avyaya, we have उदकमच्छं गच्छति.
