In Hinduism

Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)

Source: McGill: The architectural theory of the Mānasāra (grammar)

Karmadhāraya (कर्मधारय) is a subset of tatpuruṣa compound in which there is samānādhikaraṇa, “case agreement”, between the two basic members. In other words, the case relationship between the two is always nominative. The more common kind karmadhāraya has an adjective in its stem form affixed to a noun or nominal stem. The “appositional” kind of karmadhāraya in which two nouns are equated is “less common but still frequently occurring” in the language.

Karmadhāraya (कर्मधारय).—A Variety Of Tatpuruṣa Compounds In Which The First Member Is Generally A Qualifier (Viśeṣaṇa) having the same declensional ending as the second member has.

Source: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammar

Karmadhāraya (कर्मधारय).—Name technically given to a compound-formation of two words in apposition i. e. used in the same case, technically called समानाधिकरण (samānādhikaraṇa) showing the same substratutm; cf. तत्पुरुषः समानाधिकरणः कर्म-धारयः (tatpuruṣaḥ samānādhikaraṇaḥ karma-dhārayaḥ) I 2.42. The karmadhāraya compound is looked upon as a variety of the tatpuruṣa compound. There is no satisfactory explanation of the reason why such a compound is termed कर्म-धारय (karma-dhāraya). Śākaṭāyana defines Karmadhāraya as विशेषणं व्यभिचारि एकार्थं कर्मधारयश्च (viśeṣaṇaṃ vyabhicāri ekārthaṃ karmadhārayaśca) where the word विशेषण (viśeṣaṇa) is explained as व्यावर्तक (vyāvartaka) or भेदक (bhedaka) (distinguishing attribute) showing that the word कर्म (karma) may mean भेदकक्रिया (bhedakakriyā). The word कर्मधारय (karmadhāraya) in that case could mean 'कर्म भेदकक्रिया, तां धारयति असौ कर्मधारयः (karma bhedakakriyā, tāṃ dhārayati asau karmadhārayaḥ)' a compound which gives a specification of the thing in hand.
