taddhitAH ONPANINI 41076
The taddhita start here.mmmmmmmmm ^ M+ C+ 404

headline --

" The affixes described from here down to 54151 kap inclusive are taddhita affixes.

For instance, aN (described at 41083 prAgdIvyatoN), Nya (at 41085 dityadityA), and iJ (at 41095 ata::iJ) are taddhita.

The taddhita affixes are added to nouns to form nounbases. The rules explain what affixes can be added to what nouns in what senses.

Example. According to the rules ata::iJ and tasyApatyam, the taddhita affix iJ can be added after the noun dazarathasya to mean apatyanM dazarathasya "descendant of dazaratha". This means that we can build a nounbase dAzarathi-, with the same meaning, in these steps --

apatyam dazarathasya "descendant of dazaratha" →ata::iJ dazarathasya + iJ →supodhA dazaratha + iJ →taddhiteSva dAzaratha + i →yasyetica dAzarathi- "descendant of dazaratha"

Some of the affixes can be added to almost anything, such as matup "that has". Others are very restricted in their use, like naJ' and snaJ, that can be added to one word only.

Back to types of affixes .

samarthAnAM prathamAd vA ONPANINI 41082
Optionally (add taddhitas) after first of words connected by sense.mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 405

This means --

" In the rules that add taddhita affixes, the first word is a placeholder for the word to which the affix is added. "

Example.

(1) Rule tasmai hitam states "( cha may mean) good for him", and the word tasya "for him" comes first.

(2) The word tasmai has Ge, which is a fourth.

(3) This means that if we have a word whith a fourth ending, such as vatsebhyas "for calves", we may add cha to that word, and the result will mean "suitable for calves". This way --

vatsebhyo hitam "suitable for calves" →tasmaihitam vatsebhyas + cha →supodhA vatsa + cha →AyaneyI vatsa + Iyam →yasyetica vatsIya- "suitable for calves"

Similarly, in rule tenara "(Add aN) after a color to mean tinted with it", the word tena "with it" comes first in the rule, therefore we can add aN after kusumbhena "with saffron" to mean "tinted with saffron". And we can do the same with any color names that carry third.

The "optionally" in the rule means that adding the affix is not compulsory -- you may still say vatsebhyo hitam.

prAg dIvyato 'N ONPANINI 41083
aN down to tenadIvyati.mmmmmmmmm ^ M- C+ 406

(See aN disambiguation .)

headline. The following rules, down to 44002 tenadIvyati, add the affix a(N) (unless otherwise specified).

Example.

Rule tasyApatyam says just "his son".

Because of samarthAnAMprathamAdvA, that means: "add some taddhita to whoever to mean his son".

Because of prAgdIvyatoN , that means: "add aN to whoever to mean his son".

For instance, we may add aN after upagos to mean upagor apatyam "son of upagu" --

upagos + aN →supodhA upagu + a →taddhiteSvacA aupagu + a →orguNaH aupago + a →ecoya aupagava- "son of upagu"

Besides being use to mean descendants, this aN affix mostly makes adjectives that mean "belonging or related to" --

arNava- "sea" + aN → ArNava- "maritime"

candra- "moon" + aN → cAndra- "lunar"

sUrya- "sun" + aN → saurya- "solar"

As in --

ArNavasH siMhaH "sea lion"

ArNavaz coraH "pirate"

sauryaJM jyotiH "sunlight"

sauryam upanetram "sunglasses"

sauryaGM grahaNam "solar eclipse"

The aN-enders get GI when f, by TiDDhA.

aN comes after the azvapati-class.mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 407

Exception in advance to dityadityA right below. The words listed in group 53 azvapatyAdiH of the ashtadhyayidotcom gaNapATha get aN, instead of the usual Nya, to mean a descendant.

Example --

azvapati- + aN →taddhiteSva Azvapati + a →yasyetica Azvapata- "son of azvapati"

dity;adity;Aditya;patyuttarapadAN@ NyaH ONPANINI 41085

To mean his offspring.

Examples --

apatyanM dityAH "descendant of diti" diti + Nya daitya- "a descendant of diti, an asura"

In more detail --

" strI- compulsorily turns into straiNa-, and pums- into pauMsna-, in all the senses taught from 41083 prAgdIvyatoN down to 52001 dhAnyAnAmbhavane. "

Examples --

strI- + aN strI + naJ' →taddhiteSva strai- + naJ' →Natvam straiNa- "group of women"

strI- + cha strI + naJ' straiNa- "suitable for women"

pums- + cha pums + sna(J) →taddhiteSva paums- + sna →saMyogAnta paum + sna →monu pauMsna- "suitable for men"

This taddhita naJ' has nothing to do with the naJ from rule naJ.

This rule is an instance of samarthAnAm. "His son" means "add affix after (rAma) to mean (rAma)'s son".

This allows aN, Nya, aJ and other affixes. We get aN unless otherwise specified, as in aupagavas. And aN, Nya, aJ when rules such as azvapatyAd, dityadi... say so.

It is added to gotra names made with yaJ iJ, such as gArgya- and dAkSi- here --

garga + yaJ + phak →gargAdi gArgya- + phak → gArgya + phak →AyaneyI gArgya + Ayanak →yasyetica gArgy + Ayana →Natvam gArgyAyaNa- "descendant of garga"

This Dha(k) is eya(k), by AyaneyI.

Examples --

vinatA- + Dhak →AyaneyI vinatA + eyak →kitica vainatA + eya →yasyetica vainateya- "son of vinatA"

kuntI + Dhak kaunteya- "son of kuntI"

subhadrA + Dhak saubhadreya- "son of subhadrA"

kurv-Adibhyo NyaH ONPANINI 41151
kuru etc get (N)ya (to mean a gotra).mmmmmmmmm ^ M- C+ 416

The family founders listed in group 66 kurv-AdiH of the ashtadhyayidotcom gaNapATha get (N)ya to mean a descendant, instead of the usual aN from tasyApatyam.

Examples --

kuror apatyam kuru- + Nya →taddhiteSva kauru + ya →orguNaH kauro + ya →vAntoyi kaurav + ya → kauravya- "descendant of kuru from the grandson on"

garga- + Nya gArgya- "descendant of garga"

mura- + Nya maurya- "descendant of mura"

You'll hear about the descendants of kuru- in the mahAbhAratam, about the descendants of garga- in the upaniSad, and about candraketu- the descendant of mura- in history and legend. Check Wikipedia on Chandragupta Maurya if u like.

apatyaM pautra-prabhRti gotram ONPANINI 41162
Descendant from grandson on is gotra.mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 417

Example.

gargaH founded the dinasty.

The son of gargaH is gArgiH (affix iJ).

The son of gArgiH is gArgyaH (affix Nya).

gArgyaH is a gotra name.

When gArgyaH dies, his oldest male descendant inherits the title of gArgyaH.

See exception jIvatitu below.

jIvati tu vaMzye yuvA ONPANINI 41163
But if a direct ancestor is alive, (a descendant of the grandson is) yuvan.mmmmmmmmm ^ M- C+ 418

In more detail: the oldest grandson of gargaH is always gArgyaH ( gotra). But a descendant of the grandson will only inherit the gotra title gArgyaH after all of gargaH, gArgiH and gArgyaH die, and meanwhile he's yuvan "heir to the gotra title".

See yaJiJozca for more examples.

Wait. How come the previous rule said apatyampautraprabhRti "from grandson on", but what trickles down here is apatyampautrasya "from grandgrandson on"?

pANini screwed up, later grammarians fixed.

tena raktaM rAgAt ONPANINI 42001
(Add aN) after a color to mean tinted with it.mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 419

"After a color" means after a word such as kusumbhena "with saffron". From this rule down to 42012, the affixes are added to a word that has third.

kusumbhena raktam "tinted with saffron" kusumbhena + aN →supodhA kusumbha- + aN →taddhiteSva kausumbha- "tinted with saffron"

As in --

kusumbhena raktaM vastram → kausumbhaM vastram "cloth tinted with saffron"

As for instance, pauSI rAtriH is the night when the moon is in the lunar mansion puSya-. Details --

puSyeNa yuktaGM kAlam puSya + aN →taddhiteSva pauSya- "that is time-related to puSya"

This pauSya- gets GI in the feminine --

pauSya- + GI →yasyetica pauSyI- →sUryatiSyAgastya pauSI-

So we say --

pauSI rAtriH

BTW, what's a lunar mansion?

kumbhe saMskRtA yavAH "barleygrains cooked in a pot" kumbhe + aN + jas + yavAH → yavAH kaumbhAH "pot barleygrains"

To name a place after what is in it (add aN or other affixes).mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 424

Exception to tad asy' .Asty asminn iti matup below. To name a place after what is in it, we can use aN and other taddhita affixes, but not the matvartha affixes. So udumbaravat- can't be used as a tag (a place name), even though we can say udumbaravad vanam "the forest has udumbara trees in it". But we can use audumbara- as a place name

Example --

yasmin deze udumbarAH "the country in which there are udumbara trees" udumbarAs + aN + su → audumbaras "the audumbara country"

The affixes, such as aN, that can be used to name places in this way, are called cAturarthika affixes. They are called cAturarthika (four-sensed affixes) because they can have four meanings:

1. "there is in it", allowed by this rule

2. "completed by him", allowed by tenanirvRttamx

3. "his residence", by tasyanivAsaH

4. "that has it nearby" by adUrabhavazca.

Some kRt affixes, such as aN, may be used to name a city after whoever made it.

So the city of kauzAmbI is so called because one kuzamba- founded it.

kuzambena niRvRttA nagarI kauzAmbI nAgarI "a city founded by kuzAmba-"

sahasreNa niRvRttA parikhA sAhasrI parikhA "a moat made by a thousand"

Made by a thousand of what?

Of anything that makes sense in context. Workers. Gold coins. Bulldozers.

There is another rule that sounds the same, tenanirvRttam.

tasya nivAsaH ONPANINI 42069
His residence.mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 426

The word nivAsaH means nivasanti yasmin, "place in which they live". So some kRt affixes, such as aN, may be used to name a city after whoever live in it.

So, we may use zaiba- (from zibi + aN) to mean the country where the zibis live, as in --

zibInAm nivAso dezaH zaibo dezaH

where --

zibayo nivasanti yasmin deze "country where the shibis live" zibInAm + aN →supodhA zibi + aN →taddhiteSva zaibi + a →yasyetica zaiba- "zibi country"

See also exception janapadelup, that would also allow saying zibayas to mean zaibo dezaH.

adUrabhavazca ONPANINI 42070
What is nearby.mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 427

We may name a place by adding a cAturarthika affix after what is near it.

For instance, the vidizA is a river. So any place (city, region, field) that has it nearby may be named vidizA + aN --

vidizAyA:: adUrabhavam "that is not far from the vidizA" vidiza + aN →taddhiteSva vaidiza + a →yasyetica vaidiza-

But not with the same accent. See JnityAdirnityam.

janapade lup ONPANINI 42081
Sometimes lup means a country.mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 429

This rule allows us to say --

kurUn gacchAmi "I'm going to the kurus"

to mean "I'm going to the country of the kurus".

Grammarians agree that kuravas, masculine plural, is the name of the country where the kuravas live. According to other rules, the name of a country should be made by adding some taddhita affix, such as aN, after the word kurUNAm "of the kurus", and that would end up making some expressions such as kauravaM rAjyam or kauravo dezam, or kauravam for short. That's why this rule, that replaces am with lup, is necessary.

Why are we replacing aN with lup, and not with luk as usual?

A luk here would roll back the letter changes that aN made to kuru-, but not the other changes, so it would make the resulting noun have the same gender and number of deza-. The special virtue of lup is that it gives back to the toponym the gender and number of the original.

And then all those unchanging that end in tasil or tral --

vidyA;yoni-sambandhebhyo vuJ ONPANINI 43077
After knowledge and blood relationships, add vuJ.mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 431

This rule debars aN'' and cha.

Example with a teaching relationship --

upAdhyAyAd Agatam "that came from teacher" upAdhyAyAt + vuJ →yuvoranAkau upAdhyAyAt + aka(J) → aupAdhyAyaka-

As in

aupAdhyAyakaJM jJAnam "knowledge derived from a teacher"

Example with a blood relationship --

pitAmaha- + akaJ →taddhiteSva paitAmaha- + aka →yasyetica paitAmah- + aka → paitAmahaka- "grandfatherly, belonging or related to a grandfather"

See also vAsudevArjunAbhyAM vun and gotra;kSatriyAkhyebhyo bahulaM vuJ right below.

vAsudevArjunAbhyAM vun ONPANINI 43098
vun comes after vAsudeva- and arjuna- to mean "devotee of".mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 432

This debars cha and aN'' and vuJ.

This affix vu(n) is aka(n), by yuvoranAkau.

The n causes accent in the first by JnityAdirni.

Only examples --

vAsudevakaH "devotee of vAsudeva"

arjunakaH "devotee of arjuna"

The word vAsudeva in the rule is useless, because, if the rule had been arjunAdvun, we would have gotten affix vuJ after vAsudeva, which would have made vAsudevakaH anyway, with the accent in the same place.

That vAsudeva word clarifies that the rule applies only to the arjuna of mahAbhAratam fame, and not just to any kSatriya that happens to be his namesake.

gotra;kSatriyAkhyebhyo bahulaM vuJ ONPANINI 43099
vuJ is used sometimes to mean "loyal to" after the name of a family or a famous kSatriya.mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 433

This debars cha and aN''.

This vu(J) turns into aka(J) by yuvoranAkau.

Examples. The supporter of glucukAyani- (a family name) is glaucukAyanaka-,

glucukAyanir bhaktir asya glucukAyani- + aka(J) →taddhiteSvacA glaucukAyani + aka → glaucukAyanaka-

and the supporter of nakula- (famous kSatriya) is nAkulaka-.

nakulo bhaktir asya nakula- + aka(J) →taddhiteSva nAkula + aka →yasyetica nAkulaka- "devotee of nakula"

or aJ ONPANINI 43139
a(J) comes after u (of an acute-starter to mean 'made of').mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 434

This aJ debars aN.

As in --

devadAru + aJ →taddhiteSva daivadAru + aJ →orguNaH daivadAro + a →ecoya daivadArava- "made of devadAru wood"

I don't get the point of this rule. If I had never heard of it, I'd have added aN and got daivadArava- anyway.

Unlike you and me, pANini had to worry about accent. This J label triggers JnityA, unlike N.

So, this is an accent rule. Why did you even bother to translate it?

Just to warn you that oraJx and oraJ sound the same.

prAg vahateS Thak ONPANINI 44001
Thak down to vahati.mmmmmmmmm ^ M- C+ 436

headline. The following rules, down to 44076 tadvahati, teach the taddhita Thak (a.k.a. ika(k)). Unless of course they mention some other affix.

Example. Rule saMskRtam, with the trickle added, says "after third, seasoned". Adding the trickle, this means "add some taddhita affix after a third-ender to mean seasoned". But because of this headline, we have to understand "add Thak after third-ender to mean seasoned". Therefore we can replace maricyA saMskRtam "seasoned with pepper" with maricI + Thak, and say mAricikasH sUpaH for "peppered soup".

Some Thak examples --

AkSika- by tenadIvyati

mAricika- by saMskRtam

zaulkazAlika- by tatra

tena dIvyati khanati jayati jitam ONPANINI 44002
( Thak means who) "gambles with", "digs with", "defeats with", "is defeated by" it.mmmmmmmmm ^ M- C+ 437

Therefore, we may replace akSair dIvyati "he gambles with dice" with akSair + ika(k), and that makes AkSika- "who gambles with dice, dicesharp, diceshark"

In detail --

akSair dIvyati "gambles with dice" akSais + Thak →supodhA akSa- + Thak →ThasyekaH akSa- + ikak →kitica AkSa + ika →yasyetica AkSika- "that gambles with dice, dice-player, gambler"

saMskRtam ONPANINI 44003
( Thak after a third-ender means) "well made".mmmmmmmmm ^ M- C+ 438

The word saMskRtam means "very well prepared, very well arranged, seasoned". For instance --

maricyA saMskRtam odanam "porridge seasoned with pepper"

According to this rule, we may replace that maricyA saMskRtam with maricyA + Thak. Thak stands for ika(k), and maricyA + ika(k) adds up to mAricika-. So we may also say --

mAricikam odanam "porridge seasoned with pepper, peppered porridge"

The word maricyA "with black pepper" is marica- + GI + TA. When we add ika(k) after it, the TA gets luked off by supodhA, and the y reverts to GI by naluma --

maricyA + saMskRta- → maricyA + Thak →supodhA maricI + Thak →ThasyekaH maricI + ika(k) →kitica mAricI + ika →yasyetica mAricIka-

With the same steps,

zRGgavereNa + Thak zArGgaverika- "seasoned with ginger"

dadhnA + Thak dAdhika- "seasoned with curds"

KAZIKA teneti tRtIyA-samarthAt saMskRtam ity etasminn arthe Thak pratyayo bhavati. sata utkarSAdhAnaM saMskAraH. dadhnA saMskRtam dAdhikam. zArGgaverikam. mArIcikam. yogavibhAga uttarArthaH.

In your dAdhika example, it looks like the dadhnA word, meaning "with curds", was split into dadhi- + TA. Where did the n go, and where is the i coming from?

The word dadhnA is the nounbase dadhi- with TA added, because asthidadhi, and other rules, removed i and added n. Here we replaced the TA of that dadhnA with luk, so all those changes were rolled back (by nalumatAGgasya) and we got back to dadhi.

I'm surprised saMskRtam means "spiced up". I thought that saMskRtam only meant "Sanskrit language".

saMskRta- means anything that was carefully made. In times of pANini, Sanskrit was usually called just bhASA "language". When you wanted to specify that you only meant the sort of language used by educated people, you said saMskRtA bhASA "well-made language".

ktrer mam@ nityam ONPANINI 44020

Words formed with ktri always get ma added.

pac + ktri pac + tri + ma →coHkuH paktrima "ripened, cooked"

kR + ktri kRtrima "artificial"

tatra niyuktaH ONPANINI 44069

You may add Thak ( ika(k) ) to a word that carries seventh to mean who is appointed there. As in --

zulkazAlAyAnM niyuktaH "he is appointed in the customs house" zulkazAlAyAm + Thak →supodhA zulkazAlA- + Thak →ThasyekaH zulkazAlA + ikak →kitica zaulkazAlA + ika →yasyetica zaulkazAlika- "(who is / that is / he is) appointed in the customs house, customs officer"

tad-vahati ratha;yuga;prAsaGgam ONPANINI 44076
( yat'' means) "he carries it" after ratha- yuga- prAsaGga-mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 442

vahati means "pulls", "carries", or "drives, gives a lift".

Example --

rathaM vahati "it pulls a cart" ratha + yat'' →yasyetica rathya- "cart-puller, beast of burden"
