सत्युवाच

श्रीधर-स्वामि-टीका
निर्यापितः प्रवर्तितः । हे वाम शिव, ते यद्यर्थिता इच्छा तर्हि वयं च तत्राभिसराम गच्छामः । न चाद्यापि यागो निवृत्तः । यतोऽमी विबुधा व्रजन्ति ।। ८ ।। औत्सुक्यं प्रकटयन्त्याह – तस्मिन्निति षड्भिः । पितृभ्यामुपनीतं दत्तं परिबर्हमलंकारादिद्रव्यं भवता सहार्हितुं स्वीकर्तुमभिकामये । अर्हितमिति पाठे तत्कृतं परिबर्हमिच्छामीति ।। ९ ।।

Translation – Satī said: I hear a grand sacrificial festival has been set on foot at the residence of Your father-in-law, the lord of created beings. Let us also move thither, if You so desire, O Vāmadeva; these heavenly beings are (all) going there (8). My sisters will surely attend it with their husbands, desiring to see friends (and relations.) I too long to be there with You and receive the presents that will be bestowed (on me by my parents) (9).

लौकिक-विग्रह: –
(1) सुहृदो दिदृक्षुः = सुहृद्दिदृक्षुः – ‘(one who is) desiring to see friends.’ Note: द्वितीया विभक्ति: is used in सुहृद: as per 2-3-2 कर्मणि द्वितीया because 2-3-69 न लोकाव्ययनिष्ठाखलर्थतृनाम्‌ blocks 2-3-65 कर्तृकर्मणोः कृति।

अलौकिक-विग्रह: –
(2) सुहृद् शस् + दिदृक्षु सुँ । By वार्तिकम् (under 2-1-24 द्वितीया श्रितातीतपतितगतात्यस्तप्राप्तापन्नैः) गम्यादीनामुपसंख्यानम्‌। – The terms ‘गमिन्’ etc. should be added to the list of terms ‘श्रित’ etc (mentioned in the सूत्रम् 2-1-24 द्वितीया श्रितातीतपतितगतात्यस्तप्राप्तापन्नैः।) Hence a पदम् ending in a second case affix optionally compounds with a (syntactically related) पदम् composed by adding a सुँप् affix to either ‘श्रित’ etc or ‘गमिन्’ etc and the resulting compound gets the designation तत्पुरुष:।
Note: The प्रातिपदिकम् ‘गमिन्’ is formed using the उणादि-सूत्रम् 4-6 गमेरिनि:। As per the सूत्रम् 3-3-3 भविष्यति गम्यादयः, the affix ‘इनिँ’ used to form the प्रातिपदिकम् ‘गमिन्’ denotes an action in the future tense. गमिष्यतीति गमी।
Note: गम्यादयश्च प्रयोगतो ज्ञेया: – the list of terms ‘गमिन्’ etc is to be known from the usages (of the scholars) encountered in the language. Hence even though ‘दिदृक्षु’ may not be specifically listed, we have to take it to be included in the the list of terms ‘गमिन्’ etc based on the usage of the compound सुहृद्दिदृक्षवः seen here.

(3) By 1-2-43 प्रथमानिर्दिष्टं समास उपसर्जनम् – the term ‘सुहृद् शस्’ gets the designation उपसर्जनम् because the वार्तिकम् – गम्यादीनामुपसंख्यानम्‌ (which prescribes the compounding) is under the सूत्रम् 2-1-24 in which the term द्वितीया ends in the nominative case. Hence ‘सुहृद् शस्’ is placed in the prior position in the compound as per the सूत्रम् 2-2-30 उपसर्जनं पूर्वम्‌ – In a compound a term which has the designation ‘उपसर्जन’ should be placed in the prior position.

Note: ‘सुहृद् शस् + दिदृक्षु सुँ’ gets the designation प्रातिपदिकम्‌ by 1-2-46 कृत्तद्धितसमासाश्च। This allows 2-4-71 to apply in the next step.

(4) सुहृद् + दिदृक्षु । By 2-4-71 सुपो धातुप्रातिपदिकयोः – A सुँप् affix takes a लुक् elision when it is a part of a धातुः or a प्रातिपदिकम्।

= सुहृद्दिदृक्षु ।

As per the सूत्रम् 2-4-26 परवल्लिङ्गं द्वन्द्वतत्पुरुषयोः, the compound प्रातिपदिकम् ‘सुहृद्दिदृक्षु’ is feminine here since the latter member ‘दिदृक्षु’ of the compound is used here in the feminine. (The entire compound is qualifying भगिन्य:।)

(5) सुहृद्दिदृक्षु + जस् । By 4-1-2 स्वौजसमौट्छष्टाभ्याम्भिस्ङेभ्याम्भ्यस्ङसिँभ्याम्भ्यस्ङसोसाम्ङ्योस्सुप्।

(6) सुहृद्दिदृक्षु + अस् । अनुबन्ध-लोपः by 1-3-7 चुटू and 1-3-9 तस्य लोपः। 1-3-4 न विभक्तौ तुस्माः prevents the ending letter ‘स्’ of ‘जस्’ from getting इत्-सञ्ज्ञा।

(7) सुहृद्दिदृक्षो + अस् । 7-3-109 जसि च – When the affix ‘जस्’ follows, there is a गुण: substitute for the (ending letter of) of an अङ्गम् ending in a short vowel.

(8) सुहृद्दिदृक्षवस् । By 6-1-78 एचोऽयवायावः ।

(9) सुहृद्दिदृक्षवः । रुँत्व-विसर्गौ by 8-2-66 ससजुषो रुः and 8-3-15 खरवसानयोर्विसर्जनीयः।
