Commentary

The word जम्भन् stands at the ending of a बहुव्रीहि समास when preceded by 1. सु 2. हरित 3. तृण and 4. सोम।
The जम्भन् is a word that has already taken the samasanta affix अम् irregularly, and means 'food' or 'tooth'. Thus सुजम्भन्, as (शोभनो जम्भोऽस्य), सुजम्भा देवदत्तः so also हरितजम्भा, तृणजम्भा, (तृणं भक्ष्यं यस्य) सोमजम्भा ॥ When it means 'tooth', the compound should be analysed as, तृणमिव or सोममिव जम्भोऽस्य ॥ If su &c do not precede it, we have पतितजम्भः ॥
