Verse 3.7.160
Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration and English translation of verse 3.7.160:
निष्ठायां कर्मविषया षष्ठी न प्रतिषिध्यते ।
शेषलक्षणया षष्ठ्या समासस्तत्र नेष्यते ॥ १६० ॥niṣṭhāyāṃ karmaviṣayā ṣaṣṭhī na pratiṣidhyate |
śeṣalakṣaṇayā ṣaṣṭhyā samāsastatra neṣyate || 160 ||160. The sixth case-affix which is taught in P. 2.3.65 is prohibited when the kṛt suffix is kta according to P, 2.3,69. As the sixth case-affix is because of the relation coming under ‘the rest’ the formation of the compound is not allowed.
Commentary
[A word ending in the sixth case-affix according to P. 2.3. 65 can enter into a compound with another word collected in meaning as in dharmānusmaraṇam, arthānusmaraṇam and so on. In mātuḥ smṛtam, the sixth case-affix conies because the relation is śeṣa, It cannot be looked upon as kāraka-ṣaṣṭhī, because it is prohibited by P. 2.3.69. That is why the two words cannot be joined to form a compound word.]
It is now stated that the same thing can be primary and secondary in regard to two different things.
