Commentary
The affix इनि (इन्) comes in the sense of मतुप् after the words पुष्कर etc. when the word so formed denotes a locality.
Thus पुष्करिणी 'a tank", पद्मिनी &c. Why do we say when 'locality' is expressed? Observe पुष्करवान् हस्ती ॥
Vart:- The affix इन् comes after बल preceded by बाहु or ऊरु, as बहुबलिन् ऊरुबलिन् ॥
Vart:- So also after words preceded by सर्व; as, सर्वधनिन्, सर्वबीजिन्, सर्वकेशी नटः ॥
Vart:- So also after अर्थ when meaning 'not near'; as अर्थिन् meaning अर्थोऽसंनिहितोऽस्य 'distant from wealth'. Otherwise अर्थवान् 'having wealth'.
Vart:- So also after a compound ending in अर्थ, as धान्यार्थी, हिरण्यार्थी ॥
