By the difference of 'samasa' (compound-word), there is difference in sound Therefore in' in' sasUtitatpuruse' compound word, the word'indratatru's' last letter 'Me willbe pronounced with 'udatta' sound whilein 'bahuvelti' compound-word, the word'indrasatru's' first letter 'i' will be pronounced with'uditta' sound. The aim of the sages was to do the'anryodana' pronunciation of the word 'indm.iattn' but they did 'adyodatta' pronuciation. So because of the difference in sound in the pronunciation of the sacred text there was adverse result and thus Indra became the killer of Vrtrasum, Tvasta s son.
