317. 332. Tesaṃ vibhattiyo lopā ca (676-7)

[Tesaṃ + vibhattiyo + lopā + ca = 4 words]

Tesaṃ yuttatthānaṃ samāsānaṃ vibhattiyo lopā ca honti.

Kathinadussaṃ (Vin. iii, 352); āgantukabhattaṃ (Vin. iii, 460).

Tesaṃgahaṇena samāsa-taddhit’-ākhyāta-kitakānaṃ vibhatti-paccaya-pad’-akkhar’-āgamā ca lopā honti. Vāsiṭṭho (D. iii, 66; M. ii, 407); venateyyo (Khu. v, 204).

Caggahaṇam avadhāraṇatthaṃ. Pabhaṅkaro (Khu. i, 430); amantandado (S. i, 29); Medhaṅkaro (Khu. iv, 381); Dīpaṅkaro (Khu. iv, 323-381).

And the inflections of those are elided.
And the inflections of those compounds that have connected meaning are elided.
Examples
  1. Kathinadussaṃ (a cloth for the Kathina).
  2. Āgantukabhattaṃ (a meal for the guest).

By taking “tesaṃ”, the inflections (vibhatti), suffixes (paccaya), words (pada), syllables (akkhara) and insertions (āgama) of compounds (samāsa), secondary derivatives (taddhita), verbs (ākhyāta) and primary derivatives (kitaka) are also elided.

Examples
  1. Vāsiṭṭho.
  2. Venateyyo.

Taking “ca” is for the purpose of restricting [the scope of this sutta].

Examples
  1. Pabhaṅkaro (maker of light (the sun)).
  2. Amantandado (giver of the Deathless).
  3. Medhaṅkaro.
  4. Dīpaṅkaro.

Without the footnotes: they are on the chapter card.
