When used as a tag, (a seventh may compound with any noun).

This /adhikAra allows the subsequent rules to build compounds like **yudhiSThiras युधिष्ठिरस् (proper name of a king) and **araNyetilakAs अरण्येतिलकास् (meaning "disappointing things"), but only if they are used as tags — never in the general sense derived from their component words.

So araNyetilakAH अरण्येतिलकाः is forbidden from meaning araNye tilakAH अरण्ये तिलकाः "sesamum plants growing in the wild", and you may not use yudhiSThiraH युधिष्ठिरः to mean yudhi sthiraH युधि स्थिरः "he is steadfast in combat". So if you want to say that king yudhiSThiraH युधिष्ठिरः was appropriately named —

yudhi sthiro yudhiSThiraH
युधि स्थिरो युधिष्ठिरः
"yudhiSThira युधिष्ठिर is steadfast in combat"

The compounds formed in this section are /tatpuruSa because these sUtras are in the shadow of tatpuruSaH.
