पञ्चमी पर्युपाङ्योगे इतरर्ते ऽन्यदिङ्मुखे / एनयोगे द्वितीया स्यात्कर्मप्रवचनीयकैः
pañcamī paryupāṅyoge itararte 'nyadiṅmukhe / enayoge dvitīyā syātkarmapravacanīyakaiḥ
En el sentido de “rodear” o “estar en íntima conexión” (paryupāṅga-yoga), se usa el quinto caso. Pero cuando el sentido es otro—como “mirar hacia otra dirección”—se emplea el segundo caso, según lo enseñan las partículas karmapravacanīya (indeclinables relacionales).
Lord Vishnu (in instruction to Garuda)
Concept: Case selection depends on semantic relation and governing particles: pañcamī for surrounding/close-connection; otherwise dvitīyā under karmapravacanīya indeclinables.
Vedantic Theme: Context-sensitive meaning (prakaraṇa): form follows intended relation; śāstra provides decision rules for ambiguity resolution.
Application: When composing Sanskrit, check whether the indeclinable governs ablative or accusative based on intended sense (e.g., ‘परितः ग्रामात्’ vs direction/other sense requiring accusative per tradition).
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: adbhuta

FAQs
They determine how case-endings are applied by clarifying the action-relation (e.g., whether a relation implies ‘from/away’ like the fifth case or a direct object/relation like the second case).
It gives a rule for interpreting constructions involving relational indeclinables, preventing mistranslation of key relations such as proximity/surrounding versus a different intended sense like direction-facing.
Use it as a reading aid: when studying Garuda Purana shlokas, check whether a relational particle implies a ‘surrounding/connection’ sense (favoring the fifth case) or another sense (where the second case may be correct), improving accuracy in recitation and translation.
