Commentary
The Instrumental -3rd case endings after 1. ओजस् 2. सहस् 3. अम्भस् and 4. तमस् are not elided before the second member of a compound.
Thus ओजसाकृतम्, सहसाकृतम्, अम्भसाकृतम्, तमसाकृतम् ॥
Vart:- अञ्जस् also should be enumerated. Thus अञ्जसाकृतम् ॥
Vart:- The compounds पुंसानुजः and जनुषान्धः should also be mentioned. Thus पुंसा हेतुनानुजः = पुंसानुजः ॥ जनुषा हेतुनाऽन्धः = जनुषान्धः ॥ The word जनु is another name of जन्मन् 'birth'.
