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 ||
A sexta desinência (ṣaṣṭhī, genitivo) não se destina a indicar agente e objeto; antes, transmite sentidos participiais como os de niṣṭā e afins. Assim, entre as flexões nominais que começam com su, estas desinências devem ser entendidas como de dois tipos. E no sistema verbal—nas terminações tiṅ baseadas em raízes como bhū—recordam-se tradicionalmente dez lākāras (marcadores de tempo e modo).
