Commentary
The word प्रवृद्ध etc. ending in क्त have acute accent (उदात्त) on the final.
Thus प्रवृद्धं꣡ यानम्, प्रवृद्धो꣡ वृषलः, प्रयुक्ताः꣡ सक्तवः, आकर्षेऽवहितः꣡, अवहितो꣡ भोगेषु, खट्वारूढः꣡, कविशस्तः꣡ ॥ It is an Akritigana. The words have acute on the final, even when not followed by यान &c, though in the Ganapatha they are read along with these words. Some hold it is only in connection with यान &c that these words have acute on the final. This being an Akritigana we have पुनरुत्स्यूतं वासोदेयं, पुनर्निष्कृतो रथः &c.
1 प्रवृद्धं यानम्, 2 प्रवृद्धो वृषलः, 3 प्रयुतासूष्णवः or प्रयुक्ताः सक्तवः 4 आकर्षेऽवहितः, 5 अवहितो भोगेषु, 6 खट्वारूढः 7 कविशस्तः, आकृतिगणः
