Commentary
The affix टच् comes after the word श्वन् preceded by अति in a तत्-पुरुष समास ।
Thus अतिक्रान्त श्वानम् = अतिश्वो वराहः "the boar that surpasses the dog" i.e. जववान् "very swift". So अतिश्वो सेवकः "the dog-surpassing servant i. e. more devoted to his master than a dog". So also अतिश्वी सेवा "service worse than that of a dog" = अतिनीचासेवा ॥
