Oops! In that tatpuruSa compound 'ga' seems to be from the root
'gai' (to sing), not from 'gam' (to go):
chandoga m. (%{gai}) `" singer in metre "' , chanter'of the SV.
, Udga1tr2i priest AitBr. iii , 32 S3Br. x S3a1n3khS3r. &c. ;
chAndogya n. `" doctrine of the Chando-gas "' , a Bra1hman2a of the SV.
(including the ChUp.) , Ka1tyS3r "' xxii Pa1n2. 4-3 , 129 Veda7ntas
