The /kRt affix ktavatu forms the "past active participle". These are fakeverbs that show the doer, unlike the /kta-nouns.
These are mostly used as if they were the main verb of a past sentence —
kRtavAn कृतवान् "he made something", "he made" — see **hanumAn हनुमान् for the An आन्
kumbhaG kRtavAn कुम्भं कृतवान् "he made a pot"
kRSNaH kumbhaG kRtavAn कृष्णः कुम्भं कृतवान् "Krishna made a pot"
dru द्रु + /ktavatu → !**drutavat- द्रुतवत्
**drutavat- द्रुतवत् m + /su → !**drutavAn द्रुतवान् m "ran", same steps as **hanumAn हनुमान्
**drutavat- द्रुतवत् + /GI + /su → !**drutavatI द्रुतवती f "ran"
But sometimes they can work like descriptives. So if it's a simple sentence —
uktavAn vibhISaNaH उक्तवान्विभीषणः "Vibheeshana said"
but the same two words will mean "vibhISaNa विभीषण who had said" in a more complex sentence —
suniviSTaM hitaM vAkyam uktavantaM vibhISaNam | abravId rAvaNaH ...
"to vibhISaNa , who had said... | rAvana replied ... "
The ending of the /ktavatu word shows the doer.
