Commentary
The first member in the Dative -4th Case retains its accent before a Past Participle in क्त।
Thus गो꣡हितम्, मनुष्य॑हितम्, अ꣡श्वहितम्, गो꣡रक्षितम्, अ꣡श्वरक्षितम्, तापस꣡रक्षितम् वनम् ॥ The compounding takes place by 2.1.36. The compound गोरक्षितं means गोभ्योदीयते and is a sampradana Dative.
