Vyākaraṇa-saṅgraha: Pada–Vibhakti–Kāraka–Lakāra–Samāsa
साधु वासिश्छिनत्त्येवं स्थाली पचति वै मुने । धातोः सकर्मकाद्भावे कर्मण्यपि लप्रत्ययाः ॥ ८४ ॥
sādhu vāsiśchinattyevaṃ sthālī pacati vai mune | dhātoḥ sakarmakādbhāve karmaṇyapi lapratyayāḥ || 84 ||
خوب کہا! اے مُنی، اسی طرح ‘بسولا کاٹتا ہے’ اور ‘ہانڈی پکاتی ہے’ کہا جاتا ہے۔ دھاتو اگرچہ متعدّی ہو، پھر بھی ‘ل’ کِرت-پرَتیہ بھاؤ کے معنی میں بھی اور کرم کے معنی میں بھی لگتا ہے۔
