Commentary
A word ending with the affix क्त and not having the negative augment नञ् is compounded with the same word ending with the affix क्त but which is distinguished from the former, by having the augment नञ् and the resulting compound is तत्-पुरुष ।
Thus कुताकृतं 'done and not done,' भुक्ताभुक्तं 'eaten and not eaten,' पीतापीतं 'drunk and not drunk,' उदितानुदितं 'spoken and not spoken.'
The intermediate augment न or the इ, as in the following two examples, do not make the forms dissimilar. अशितानशितेन जीवति क्लिष्टाक्लिशितेन वर्त्तते ॥
Vart:-The compounds कृतापकृत, &c. should also be included.
आकृतिगणोयम्
(1). कृतापकृत. (2). भुक्तविभुक्त. (3). पीतविपीत. (4). गतप्रत्यागत. (5). यातानुयात. (6). क्रयाक्रयिका. (7). पुटापुटिका. (8). फलाफलिका. (9). मानोन्मानिका.
Vart:-The compounds like शाकपार्थिव should also be enumerated, and there is elision of the second member in these compounds. As शाकप्रियः पार्थिवः = शाकपार्थिवः 'the king beloved by the people of his era.' i.e., an era making king.
