The second /Amantrita loses accent when it specifies the first.

So the second word has no accent in —

agne gRhapate अग्ने गृहपते "o fire, lord of the house"

Why do we say an /Amantrita?

A verb will keep its accent —

devadatta ´pacasi देवदत्त पचसि "hey devadatta, you do the cooking oki?"

Why do we say when the second linksto the first?

Here the second keeps accent because it linksto the third —

devadatta paNDita yajJadatta देवदत्त पण्डित यज्ञदत्त "hey Devadatta, hey learned Yajnadatta"

Why do we say when the second specifies the first?

If we just use several names to adress the same person, this rule won't apply. So all keep their accent in —

devi sarasvati देवि सरस्वति "o goddess, o Sarasvatee"
