Commentary
The affix ण्य comes in the sense of descendant after प्रातिपदिक (Nominal Stem) ending in सेना after the word लक्षण and after words denoting artisans.
The word कारि means 'handicrafts', such as weavers, barbers, potters &c. Thus करिषेण्यः हारिषेण्यः, लाक्षण्यः, तान्तुवाय्यः, कौम्भकार्यः, नापित्यः ॥
