Commentary
The affix अण् comes in the sense of 'modification or part' (provided that the word has not the अनुदात्त - grave accent on the first syllable).
Thus देवदारवम्, भाद्रवारवम् ॥ The words देवदारु and भद्रदारु are ady-udatta owing to Phit Su. II.14 (पीतद्र्वर्थानाम् -- the trees denoting soft timber trees have acute on the first).
