પર્યુપાંગ-યોગ એટલે ‘ચારે તરફથી ઘેરવું’ અથવા ‘ઘનિષ્ઠ જોડાણ’ના અર્થમાં પંચમી વિભક્તિ વપરાય છે. પરંતુ અર્થ અન્ય હોય—જેમ કે ‘બીજી દિશા તરફ મુખ’—તો કર્મપ્રવચનીય અવ્યયો મુજબ દ્વિતીયા વિભક્તિ થાય છે.

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
