Adhyaya 359
Kṛt-siddha-rūpa (Completed Derivative Forms) — Conclusion
This closing marker seals the preceding grammatical unit on kṛt-derivations, stressing the completion of “siddha” (established) morphological results. In the Agni Purāṇa’s Vyākaraṇa teaching, such endings act as textual hinges: the student moves from formation rules (how words are generated) to application in sacred lexicographic practice (how words are classified and used). The chapter colophon also reaffirms the dialogic authority of Agni instructing Vasiṣṭha, framing technical grammar as revealed knowledge and preparing the reader for the next chapter’s systematic word-groups cataloguing gender, synonymy, and semantic fields for disciplined speech and interpretation.
