Commentary

The affix तल् comes in the sense of 'collection thereof' after the words 1. ग्राम 2. जन 3. बन्धु and 4. सहाय।
Thus ग्रामता 'a collection of villages'. The words ending in तल् are all feminine. So also जनता 'a collection of persons', बन्धुता 'a collection of relatives', and सहायता 'a collection of allies'.

Vart:- The affix 'tal' comes after गज also e.g. गजता 'a collection of elephants'.
