Narada Purana — Purva Bhaga, Shloka 17
Vyākaraṇa-saṅgraha: Pada–Vibhakti–Kāraka–Lakāra–Samāsa
न कर्तृकर्मणोः षष्टी निष्टादिप्रतिपादिका । एता वै द्विविधा ज्ञेयाः सुबादिषु विभक्तिषु । भूवादिषु तिङतेषु लकारा दश वै स्मृताः ॥ १७ ॥
na kartṛkarmaṇoḥ ṣaṣṭī niṣṭādipratipādikā | etā vai dvividhā jñeyāḥ subādiṣu vibhaktiṣu | bhūvādiṣu tiṅateṣu lakārā daśa vai smṛtāḥ || 17 ||
Die sechste Kasusendung (ṣaṣṭhī, Genitiv) ist nicht dazu bestimmt, Handelnden und Objekt zu bezeichnen; vielmehr vermittelt sie partizipiale Bedeutungen wie die von niṣṭā und dergleichen. So sind diese Endungen unter den Nominalflexionen, die mit su- beginnen, als zweierlei Art zu verstehen. Und im Verbalsystem—bei den tiṅ-Endungen auf Wurzeln wie bhū—werden traditionell zehn lākāras (Tempus-/Moduszeichen) überliefert.
