1.5 In the same way, ‘he recounts the killing of Kaṃsa’ [yields] *kaṃsaṃ ghātayati* (‘he causes Kaṃsa to be killed’); ‘he recounts the spending of the night’ [yields] *rātriṃ vivāsayati* (‘he causes the night to pass’); ‘he knows the conjunction of the moon with Puṣya’ [yields] *puṣyeṇa candraṃ yojayati* (‘he unites the moon with Puṣya’); ‘having set out from Ujjayinī, he reaches the sunrise in Māhiṣmatī’ [yields] *māhiṣmatyāṃ sūryamudgamayati* (‘he causes the sun to rise in Māhiṣmatī’). Here, the rules remembered are: the affix *ṇac* by ‘[an affix is added] after a verbal derivative when expressing its narration’ (*ākhyānāt kṛtas tad ācaṣṭe*), ‘the elision of the primary suffix, the reversion to the original base, and the case-role functioning as with the base’, ‘and the elision of *āṅ* in the sense of limit in unbroken continuity of time’, ‘the affix *ṇic* in the conjunction of asterisms’, and ‘the affix *ṇic* in the sense of producing wonder’.

This morphological base in the form of a verbal root has been described in its six varieties; now, that in the form of an affix is also explained as having six varieties.

1.6 For affixes are of six kinds according to the division into nominal case-inflections (*sup*), verbal inflections (*tiṅ*), primary suffixes (*kṛt*), secondary suffixes (*taddhita*), verbal-forming affixes (*dhātupratyaya*), and feminine suffixes (*strīpratyaya*). The morphological base that ends in these is likewise of six kinds in the form of an affix. That which ends in a nominal case-inflection is, for example: *ahaṃyuḥ*, *śubhaṃyuḥ*, *sāyantanam*, *cirantanam*, *tvayakā*, *mayakā*, *āmuṣyāyaṇaḥ*, *apsavyaḥ*, *prahṇetarām*, *pragetarām*, *pūrvāhṇetanam*, *samāṃsamānā*. That which ends in a verbal inflection is, for example: *pacatitarām*, *gacchatitamām*, *spṛśatirūpam*, *jalpatikalpam*, *jighratideśyam*, *paśyatideśīyam*, *āstikaḥ*, *nāstikaḥ*, *pacataki*, *bhindhaki*, *pacatabhṛjjatā*, *khādatamodatā*. That which ends in a primary suffix is, for example: *kṛtrimam*, *bhṛtrimam*, *sekimam*, *sāṅkūṭinam*, *sāṃrāviṇam*, *vyāvakrośī*, *vyāvahāsī*, *śyenaṃpātā*, *tailaṃpātā*, *jitvarī*, *āḍhyaṅkaraṇī*. That which ends in a secondary suffix is, for example: *gārgyāyaṇaḥ*, *dākṣāyaṇaḥ*, *vārṣyāyaṇukaḥ*, *vārṣyāyaṇīyaḥ*, *phāṇṭāhṛtāyaniḥ*, *ābhidityaḥ*, *kauñjāyanaḥ*, *kutastyaḥ*, *tatratyaḥ*, *pacatitarām*, *pacatitamām*. That which ends in an affix having the designation ‘verbal root’ is, for example: *cikīrṣā*, *kaṇḍvā*, *putrīyā*, *kāraṇā*, *miśraṇā*, *mṛdayā*, *aṭāṭyā*, *sāsahiḥ*, *yāyāvaraḥ*, *yāyajūkaḥ*, *cikīrṣuḥ*, *caṅkramaṇaḥ*.
