Commentary
Words expressing (in space of time) have acute accent (उदात्त) on the last syllable when followed by a word denoting a village or a country or a narrative before the word चानराट।
Thus पूर्वे꣡षुकामशामी, अपरे꣡षुकामशामी or पूर्वे॑ and अपरे॑ 8.2.6. The compounding takes place by 2.1.50. पूर्व꣡कृष्णमृत्तिका, अपर꣡कृष्णमृत्तिका ॥ Country name-पूर्व꣡पञ्चालाः अपर꣡पञ्चालाः ॥ These are Karmadharaya compounds 2.1.58. Story name:--पूर्वा॑धिरामम् or पूर्वा꣡, पूर्व꣡यायातम्, पूर्वा꣡धिरामकम्, अपर꣡यायातम् ॥ So also पूर्व꣡चानराटम्, अपर꣡चानराटम् ॥ The employment of the term शब्द in the aphorism shows that time-denoting दिक् words as in पूर्वयायातं should also be included. The word आधिरामम् is derived from अधिराममधिकृत्य कृतो ग्रन्थः 4.3.87.
