Commentary
1. अवोद 2. एध 3. ओद्म 4. प्रश्रथ and 5. हिमश्रथ are irregularly formed by the elision.
Thus उन्द् - अव + उन्द् + घञ् = अवोदः; इन्ध् + घञ् = एधः, the guna is irregular, for 1.1.4 applied here, and prevented guna. उन्द + मन् = ओद्म (Unadi मन्). प्र + श्रन्थ + घञ् = प्रश्रथः (The want of Vriddhi is the irregularity). So also हिमश्रथः ॥
