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 ||
La sexta desinencia (ṣaṣṭhī, genitivo) no está destinada a denotar al agente y al objeto; más bien expresa sentidos participiales como los de niṣṭā y similares. Así, entre las flexiones nominales que comienzan con su, estas desinencias han de entenderse como de dos clases. Y en el sistema verbal—en las terminaciones tiṅ basadas en raíces como bhū—se recuerdan tradicionalmente diez lākāras (marcadores de tiempo y modo).
