Commentary
The above affixes have further the sense of 'for its sake', when the meaning is a relation or an unwanted appearance.
The word तस्य shows that the word in construction must be in the 6th case, the word निमित्तं 'cause or occasion' gives the sense of the affix; संयोग means 'a connection, or relation': उत्पातः means 'a portend indicative of good or bad luck.' Thus शतस्य निमित्तं धनपतिना संयोगः = शत्यः 'a connection with a rich man for the sake of getting a hundred.' So also शतिकः, साहस्रः ॥ So also शतस्य निमित्तमुत्पातो दक्षिणाक्षिस्पन्दनम् = शत्यम्, शतिकम्, साहस्रम् "the twitching of the right eye for the sake of a hundred" i. e. indicative of acquiring or losing a hundred, a thousand &c.
Vart:- The above affixes come after the words वात, पित्तं, and श्लेष्म in the senses of allaying or vitiating. As वातिकम् 'allaying or vitiation of windy humour.' So also पैत्तिकम्, श्लेष्मिकम् ॥
Vart:- Also after the word सन्निपात, as, सान्निपातिकम् ॥
