ber to suit metre and rhyme. This fact is recognised by the grammarjans as समासे पूर्वनिपातानियमः. The examples are : धम्मिल्ल-उमुक्क-मुह 25b = उमुक्क-धम्मिल्ल-मुह; णेउर-चरण 27d= चरण-णेउर = चरण-(गत)-नूपुरयोः; अणरइछार-उछित्तु 120c = उछित्त-अणरइ-छार; कड्डिय-कुडिल-अणेग-तरंगिहिँ 177b= कड्डिय-अणेग-कुडिल-तरंगिहिँ; मयण-पडिभिन्न-सरि 184a= मयण-सर-पडिभिन्नि; असेविय-सउणियण 193a= सउणियण-असेविय; फलु-विरहग्गि 144a= विरहग्गिफलु; सिहरि-सुरत्तय 216a= सुरत्तय-सिहरि.
Among these special attention is to be drawn to the last two instances of the compounds with the order of the members transposed for metrical convenience. Apart from a few genuine cases of 'endingless' forms, it is such cases that must have substantially contributed to make current the view that Ap. uses the bare stem also in the genitive. For in the case of the words in such expressions held together by the strength of context but otherwise appearing hanging in the air without any grammatical element connecting them inter se, one can easily say that here the bare stem (विरहग्गि, सुरत्तय) functions as a genitive form. But the cases attested here, as also lots of similar cases in Dingal works and in the Rāmacaritamānasa make it abundantly clear that we have to look upon them as free constructions-as a loose type of compounds.
रयण-ताडंकिहि परिघोलिर-सवणि 46d for परिघोलिर-रयणताडंक-सवणि offers a case of the fusion of the above types.
Lastly, the extreme cases of this tendency to loose composition are offerred by a few instances of tmesis, which at the same time pointedly show how much the poet cared for metre and rhyme at the cost of everything else and how at times he left the reader (or the hearer) to gather the intended sense entirely from the context. Thus we have,
णिय-दइय-सोय-असहंत-भरु 103c=णिय-दइय-सोय-भरु असहन्त निम्मल-फुरइ-करु 122a=निम्मलकरु (-चन्द्र's epithet) फुरइ णवघण- जंति -तलि 130d=णवघणतलि जंति
Here we get a peep into that process as a final outcome of which the power of unrestricted word-composition has peterred out in
