Between the two, that having the form of an individual entity is, for example: ajā, kumāraḥ, brahmabandhuḥ, vṛkṣaḥ, vṛkṣau, vṛkṣāḥ. That having the form of a capacity is, for example: vṛkṣam, vṛkṣeṇa, vṛkṣāya, vṛkṣāt, vṛkṣe, vṛkṣasya. A single word-meaning is threefold: having the form of a concrete entity, having the form of an abstract entity, and having the form of an action. Among them, that having the form of a concrete entity is of two kinds: meaning existing as a substance, and meaning not existing as a substance. Between the two, the meaning existing as a substance is, for example: aupagavaḥ, chāndasaḥ, lākṣikaḥ, yauṣmakaḥ. And the meaning not existing as a substance is, for example: āstikaḥ, upatyakā, prakaṭam, tatratyaḥ. That having the form of an abstract entity is also of two kinds just as before. Between the two, the meaning existing as a substance is, for example: agnivat, pañcakṛtvaḥ, sarvadā, bahuśaḥ. The meaning not existing as a substance is, for example: natarām, prāhatarām, pacatitarām, pacatirūpam. That having the form of an action is of two kinds: compressed and uncompressed. Between the two, the compressed is, for example: ātmanaḥ putram icchati (‘desires a son for oneself’) -> putrīyati; śyena iva ācarati (‘acts like a falcon’) -> śyenāyate; abhṛśo bhṛśo bhavati (‘what was not intense becomes intense’) -> bhṛśāyate; senayā abhiyāti (‘advances with an army’) -> abhiṣeṇayati. The uncompressed is, for example: kaṃsavadham ācaṣṭe (‘relates the killing of Kaṃsa’) -> kaṃsaṃ ghātayati; rātrivivāsam ācaṣṭe (‘relates the dawning of night’) -> rātriṃ vivāsayati; puṣyacandrayogaṃ jānāti (‘knows the conjunction of Puṣya and the Moon’) -> puṣyeṇa candraṃ yojayati; ujjayinyāḥ prasthito māhiṣmatyāṃ sūryodgamaṃ prāpnoti (‘having set out from Ujjayinī, arrives at Māhiṣmatī at sunrise’) -> māhiṣmatyāṃ sūryam udgamayati. Multiple word-meanings are threefold: based on a single word-meaning, based on both word-meanings, and based on another word-meaning. There, that based on a single word-meaning is of two kinds: based on the prior word-meaning, and based on the posterior word-meaning. Between the two, that based on the prior word-meaning is, for example: upakumbham, puruṣavyāghraḥ, gomatallikā, pūrvakāyaḥ, rājadantaḥ, prāptajīvikaḥ.
