Source: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammarDevatādvandva (देवताद्वन्द्व).—A compound word called द्वन्द्व (dvandva) whose members are names of deities; the peculiarities of this Dvandva compound are (a) that generally there are changes at the end of the first member, by virtue of which it appears similar to a word ending in the dual number, and (b) that both the words retain their original accents.e.g. इन्द्रासोमौ, सौमापूषणा, अग्नीषोमाभ्यां, मित्रावरुणाभ्याम् (indrāsomau, saumāpūṣaṇā, agnīṣomābhyāṃ, mitrāvaruṇābhyām) ; for changes, cf. P. VI.3.25-31; for accent, cf. देवताद्वन्द्वानि चानामन्त्रितानि (devatādvandvāni cānāmantritāni) (द्विरुदात्तानिं (dvirudāttāniṃ)) । इन्द्राबृहस्पतिभ्याम्, इन्द्राबृहस्पती इति त्रीणि (| indrābṛhaspatibhyām, indrābṛhaspatī iti trīṇi) V. Pr. II.48, 49; cf. also देवताद्वन्द्वे च (devatādvandve ca) P. VI, 2.141.
