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 sixième désinence (ṣaṣṭhī, génitif) n’a pas pour fonction d’indiquer l’agent et l’objet; elle exprime plutôt des valeurs participiales, telles que celles de niṣṭā et autres. Ainsi, parmi les flexions nominales commençant par su, ces désinences doivent être comprises comme de deux sortes. Et dans le système verbal—dans les terminaisons tiṅ fondées sur des racines comme bhū—dix lākāras (marqueurs de temps et de mode) sont traditionnellement retenus.
