Karika
समानस्य तदादेश्च अध्यात्मादिषु चेष्यते ।
ऊर्ध्वदमाच्च देहाच्च लोकोत्तरपदस्य च ॥
मुखपार्श्वतसोरीयः कुग्जनस्य परस्य च ॥
ईयः कार्योथ मध्यस्य मण्मीयौ प्रत्ययौ तथा ॥
मध्यो मध्ये दिनण् चास्मात्स्थाम्नो लुगजिनात्तथा ॥
This debars अण् ॥ Thus आन्तर्वेश्मिकम्, आन्तर्गेहिकम् ॥
Vart:- The affix ठञ् comes after समान, as समाने भवं = सामानिकम् ॥
Vart:- So also after a word beginning with समान, as, सामानग्रामिकम्. सामान देशिकं.
Vart:- So also after the words अध्यात्म, &c as, आध्यात्मिकम्, आधिदैविकम्, आधिभौतिकम् ॥ The class अध्यात्मादि is Akritigana.
Vart:- So also after ऊर्ध्वन्दमः as, और्ध्वन्दमिकः ॥ The word 'urdhva' is a synonym of ऊर्ध्वम् ॥
Vart:- So also ऊर्ध्वदेह, as और्ध्वदेहिकम् ॥
Vart:- So also after a compound having the word लोक as second term; as, ऐहलौकिकम्, पारलौकिकम् ॥
Vart:- The words मुख and पार्श्व ending in तस्, take the affix ईय; as, मुखतीयम्, पार्श्वतीयम् ॥
Vart:- The affix ईय comes after जन and पर with the augment कुक्, as जनकीयम्, परकीयम् ॥
Vart:- The affix ईय comes after मध्य, as, मध्यीयः ॥
Vart:- So also the affix मण् and मीय come after मध्य; As, माध्यमम्, माध्यमीयम् ॥
Vart:- So also the affix दिनण् (दिनञ् in Padamanjari) comes after मध्य, whereby it becomes मध्यम् as माध्यन्दिनम् in माध्यन्दिन उपगायति ॥
Vart:- There is luk-elision of the affix after the word स्थाम्न, as, अश्वत्थामा ॥
Vart:- So also there is elision after the words ending in अजिन, as वृकाजिनः, सिंहाजिनः
