Commentary
A case-inflected word denoting object deserving of respect is compounded with the words वृन्दारक 'eminent', नाग 'serpent or elephant', कुञ्जर 'elephant' and the resulting compound is तत्-पुरुष ।
As गोवृन्दारकः 'an excellent bull or cow.' अश्ववृन्दारकः 'an excellent horse'. So also गोनागः &c. Why do we say 'when meaning the object deserving of respect?' Observe सुसीमोनागः 'the serpent Susima.'
