A word ending with a sixth case-affix is compounded with the word yājaka 'sacrificer' etc. and the compound is tat-puruṣa,
The compound which was ordained by the last aphorism, would have been prohibited by Rule 16 in the case of याजक &c.; hence the necessity of the present aphorism to guard against such a prohibition. As ब्राह्मणबाजकः 'a Brahmana's sacrificer.' क्षत्रिययाजकः 'one who sacrifices for Kshatriyas'.
(याजकादि)
1.याजक. 2. पूजक . 3. परिचारक. 4. परिवेषक. 5. परिषेचक. 6.स्नापक or स्नातक. 7.अध्यापक. 8. उत्साहक or उत्सादक. 9. उद्वर्तक. 10. होतृ. 11. नर्तृ . 12. रथगणक. 13. पत्तिगणक. 14. पोतृ. 15. हतृ. 16. वर्तक.
Vart:-A word in the genitive case is compounded with a word expressing a quality which abides in the former word. As ब्राह्मणवर्णः 'Brahmana-caste.' चंदनगन्धः 'sandal-scent.' कपित्थरसः 'the wood-apple juice.'
Vart:-So also with an adjective in the comparative degree ; and the sign of comparison तर is elided. Thus सर्वेषां श्वेततरः = सर्वश्वेतः 'the whitest of all.' सर्वेषां महत्तरः = सर्वमहान् 'the greatest among all.' This 'vartika' is an exception in anticipation to the next sutra which prohibits composition, when the genitive has the force of specification. Thus सर्वशुक्ला गौः 'a cow whitest among all.',
