Commentary

Also when such an उपपद compound ending in अण् -affix denotes a Name, the acute accent (उदात्त) falls on the first syllable but not when the second term is कार।
Thus त꣡न्तुवायः 'a kind of insect, spider'. वा꣡लवायः 'the hill Valavaya'. But not so अण् with कृ; as रथकारः꣡ 'the name of a Brahmana caste'.
