पुंवत् कर्मधारय-जातीय-देशीयेषु

Adhyāya 6 · Pāda 3 · Rule 42

The feminine (unless it ends in ū) having an equivalent and uniform masculine becomes masculine in a karmadhāraya samāsa and before 1. jātīya and 2. deśīya,

This sutra is enunciated as a prohibition to the preceding sutras. Thus it applies even to words having a penultimate क 6.3.37. Thus पाचकवृन्दारिका, पाचकजातीया, पाचकदेशीया ॥ It applies even to Names and the feminines which are ordinals in opposition to 6.3.38. Thus दत्तवृन्दारिका, दत्तजातीया, दत्तदेशीया, पंचमवृन्दारिका, पंचमजातीया, पंचमदेशीया ॥ It applies even in opposition to 6.3.39: स्रौघ्नवृन्दारिका, स्रौघ्नजातीया, स्रौघ्नदेशीया ॥ So also in opposition to 6.3.40, as श्लक्ष्णमुखवृन्दारिका, श्लक्ष्णमुखजातीया and श्लक्ष्णमुखदेशीया ॥ So also in opposition to 6.3.41, as कठवृन्दारिका, कठजातीया, कठदेशीया ॥

The feminine must have a corresponding masculine (भाषितपुंस्क), So the rule does not apply खट्वावृन्दारिका, as खट्वा has no corresponding masculine. The feminine should not end in ऊ; as ब्रह्मबन्धूवृन्दारिका ॥

Vart:- The words कुक्कुटी &c becomes masculine before अण्ड &c : as, कुक्कुट्या अण्डं = कुक्कुटाण्डन् । भृग्याः पदं = भृगपदम्, मृग्याः क्षीरं = मृगक्षीरम्, काक्याः शावः = काकशावः ॥ This rule need not be made, as the first member in these compounds may be considered as class denoting words of common gender.

Vart:- When a word formed by an affix having an indicatory ख, or the affixes तर and तम &c 6.3.43 follow, the final long vowel of the first term becomes short instead of its becoming masculine. As कालीमात्मानं मन्यते काल्येवाहम् = कालिंमन्या (compare 6.3.66) हरिणिंमन्या, पट्वितरा, पट्वितमा, पट्विरूपा, पट्विकल्पा, पट्विका, मृद्विका ॥ We have said that the rule does not apply to the feminines in ऊ ॥ The words इडविट्, दरद्, पृथ and उशिज are names of countries denoting Kshatriya clans. The tadraja affix 6.1.168 and 6.1.170, is elided in forming the feminine of these 4.1.177. Thus we have the compound of इडविट् वृन्दारिका ॥ When the first words become masculine, we have ऐडविड, दारद्, &c. Thus ऐडविडवृन्दारिका, औशिजवृन्दारिका ॥,
