Sthāneyogā (स्थानेयोगा).—A variety of the genitive case when it is connected in sense with the Pratipadika by the relationship of स्थान (sthāna) or place, as contrasted with the relationships of the kind of विषय-विषयिभाब, अवयवावयविभाव (viṣaya-viṣayibhāba, avayavāvayavibhāva) and others. As grammar is a science of words,in those places where one word is mentioned for another by the use of the genitive case it should be understood that the word mentioned is to be substituted for the other;cf the rule of Panini for that purpose षष्ठी स्थानेयोगा (ṣaṣṭhī sthāneyogā) explained by Bhattoji Diksita as आनिर्धारितसंबन्धविशेषा षष्ठी स्था-नेयोगा बोध्या (ānirdhāritasaṃbandhaviśeṣā ṣaṣṭhī sthā-neyogā bodhyā); cf. S.K. on P.I.1.49. In some grammars the sthanin and adesa are expressed in the same case, Viz. the nominative case.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
