Commentary
In a तत्-पुरुष समास ending in 1. पलल 2. सूप and 3. शाक the acute accent (उदात्त) falls on the first syllable of these when the compound denotes a food mixed or seasoned with something.
Thus गुडप꣡ललम्, घृतप꣡ललम्, घृतसूपः, मूलकसू꣡पः, घृतशा꣡कम्, मुद्गशा꣡कम् = गुडेन मिश्रं पललं &c. The compounding takes place by 2.1.35. Why do we say 'when meaning mixed or seasoned?' Observe परमपललम् ॥
