will not be capable of giving 'sense'. This relation takes two forms according as the qualifier and the qualified are in the same case or in different cases. The first relation characterises the Karmadharaya compound. But where, in a compound, two or more words qualify a third (uncompounded) word, it is a fit case of the Adjectival Compound (Bahuvrihi). Besides, when, in a compound, either a numeral word occurs or a negation occurs, then a Dvigu or a negative compound comes into being. When many case-relations operate, they typify the Tatpurusa but where an indeclinable dominates, there, the Avyayibhava
Occurs.
"Thus, although a compound consists of an adjective and a substantive, yet when the adjective promotes the beauty of its substratum, i.e., the substantive and as such becomes dominant enough to occupy the position of an Emphatic (predicate) term and at the same time when the substantive is merely reduced to the status of a subject term, being subordinated to the predicate term, one should avoid the compounding of the two words. For, in the case where the two words are compounded, there the dominantness and the subordinateness respectively of the adjective and the substantive will cease to exist. As for opposition between the subordinateness and principalness as co-existing, this is not a meterial argument. As for the outcome, the outcome of the predicated thing or intended sense is the unique, charming sense of a sentence known to a few connoisseurs and is a subject peculiar to the Genius of the poet only." This view is illustrated with examples of the different compounds by Mahima. On and off, Mahima offers thought-provoking comments on the verbal and semantic as well as logical aspects of this topic. Mahima particularly emphasises the fact that the emphasis that is experienced in the quaifying words (i.e., Predicates) is possible when these case-terminations are retained; hence when these cases are obliterated, the emphasis due to a predicate is not apprehended.
