Commentary
The affix तातिल् comes in the छन्दस् (Vedas) after the words 1. शिव 2. शम् and 3. अरिष्ट in the Genitive 6th-Case in construction, the sense being that of condition.
Thus शिवस्य भावः = शिवतातिः 'the condition of blissfulness'. शन्तातिः 'the state of happiness or peace', अरिष्टतातिः ॥ Here these words have the force of Verbal noun.
