Dhe lopo 'kadrvAH

ढे लोपो ऽकद्र्वाः ONPANINI 64147

Delete u उ U ऊ before /Dha, but not the U ऊ of kadrU कद्रू.

kamandalu- कमन्दलुॱ + /Dha + /su → !**kAmaNDaleyaH कामण्डलेयः

jambu जम्बु + /Dha + /su → jAmbeyaH जाम्बेयः

But no deletion in:

kAdraveyo mantram apazyat काद्रवेयो मन्त्रमपश्यत्

Where the U ऊ gets < orguNaH before /Dha.

The sUtra has kaTrvAH कट्र्वाः according to candravasu, which looks like a misspelling. The old stories mention a kadrU कद्रू, daughter of dakSa दक्ष and mother of all snakes. All her descendants are kAdraveya काद्रवेय, including all snakes and a sage, arbuda kAdraveya, seer of Rg 10.94, inventor of soma squeezing, son of kadrU and kazyapa mArica.
