Narada Purana — Purva Bhaga, Shloka 93
Vyākaraṇa-saṅgraha: Pada–Vibhakti–Kāraka–Lakāra–Samāsa
नीलोत्पलं महाषष्टी तुल्यार्थे कर्मधारयः । अब्राह्मणो न ञि प्रोक्तः कुंभकारादिकः कृता ॥ ९३ ॥
nīlotpalaṃ mahāṣaṣṭī tulyārthe karmadhārayaḥ | abrāhmaṇo na ñi proktaḥ kuṃbhakārādikaḥ kṛtā || 93 ||
Dalam kata majmuk seperti nīlotpala (“teratai biru”), hubungannya dianggap sebagai mahā-ṣaṣṭhī (genitif agung); dan apabila maksudnya ialah keserupaan (tulya-artha), ia menjadi majmuk karmadhāraya. Lagi pula, imbuhan taddhita Ñi tidak diajarkan selepas “a-brāhmaṇa” (bukan Brāhmaṇa); sedangkan bentuk seperti kumbhakāra (“tukang tembikar”) dan seumpamanya diterima sebagai terbitan yang telah mantap.
