Commentary
The affix in the sense of 'making', comes after these words, as the object of the action, viz. नमस् 'adoration', वरिवस् 'honour', चित्र 'wonder'.
Thus नमस्यति देवान्, 'he worships the gods'; वरिवस्यति गुरून्, 'he honors or serves the elders'; चित्रीयते 'he astonishes (makes it wonderful)'. The ङ् in चित्रङ् indicates that it takes the affixes of the Atmanepada. (चित्र + य = चित्री + य 7.4.33 = चित्रीय).
