Commentary
The affix थल् comes in the छन्दस् (Vedas) with the force of मतुप् after the word भग having the words 1. वेशस् or 2. यशस् in the beginning.
The ल् of यल् shows that the accent falls on the vowel preceding the affix 6.1.193. Thus वेशोभगो विद्यते यस्य स = देशोभ꣡ग्यः 'strong-fortune' so also यशोभ꣡ग्यः 'famous-fortune'. The word वेश means strength': भग means 'fortune, desire, effort, greatness, virility and fame.' The word वेशोभगः may be taken as a Dvandva compound of वेशस् 'force' and भगः 'fortune.' The word वेशोभग्यः would then mean 'possessed of power and fortune.'
