Commentary
The word कुमार 'a boy' is compounded with co-ordinate words श्रमण 'an ascetic' etc. and the resulting compound is तत्-पुरुष ।
In this list of श्रमणा and the rest, with the words which are feminine such as श्रमणा, प्रव्रजिता, कुलटा, the word कुमार must also be in the feminine gender; with the words which appear as masculine, e.g. अध्यापक, अभिरूपक, पण्डित the word कुमार must -also be masculine, because 'a Prátipadika denotes, whenever it is employed also such a crude form as is derived from it by the addition of an affix denoting gender.'
As, कुमारीश्रमणा and कुमारश्रमणाः 'a virgin ascetic or a bachelor ascetic.'
