Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration and English translation of verse 3.14.61:
महारण्यमतीते तु त्रिपदाद् भिद्यते स्वरः ।

Then we make the three-word compound mahāraṇyātīta which should get its accent on the final ta by P. 6.2.144. But the accent of the intermediate compound will prevail because it is antaraṅga and that is not desired.]
