Commentary

After a Negative Particle, in a बहुव्रीहि समास the acute accent (उदात्त) falls on the first syllable of 1. जर 2. मर 3. मित्र and 4. मृत।
Thus अज꣡रः, अम꣡रः, अमि꣡त्रः and अमृ꣡तः ॥ Why do we say after a Negative Particle? Observe ब्राह्मणमित्रः ॥ Why do we say "जर &c". Observe अशत्रुः꣡ when the final gets the acute by 6.2.172.
