This video explains the six main types of Sanskrit compounds (Samāsas) for Osmania University B.Sc, B.Com, BBA & BA Semester-II students: Avyayabhava Samasam (where the first word is an indeclinable word), Tatpurusha Samasam (where the second word is important, including seven subtypes like Prathama, Dwitthiya, Tritiya, Chaturthi, Panchami, Shashti, and Saptami, plus Naitatpurusha for negative meaning), Dvigu Samasam (where the first word is a number), Dvandva Samasam (where all words have equal importance), Bahuvrihi Samasam (where multiple words create a special meaning), and Gati Samasam/Pradi Samasam/Upapada Samasam (with few examples each). The instructor recommends focusing on learning Avyayabhava, Tatpurusha, Dvigu, Dvandva, and Bahuvrihi Samasas as they are easier to identify and answer in exams.

Part-B, Q13 Compounds | Sanskrit-II | Osmania University
Added:Next come to Samasaha Amma so already you studied the compounds in intermediate second year i.e. just last year only already you rote public exam also about Samasaha here totally 10 questions will be asked Amma in this bit 13 bit this is also grammar grammar so from 10 you can answer any six from 10 answer any six 6*2 12 marks 6*2 12 marks for choice but you try to write all don't write wrong wrong then what will happen but if you answer correctly 6*2 6 mam if you can write any six perfectly u cant read all you cant learn very tough interlo i.e. you just in every The compound is given three or two examples so they learned it easily by heart and wrote it easily but not like that in the second semester of the degree. Here are the given number of the examples. Given number of the examples. Mom, so already [clearing her throat] What is the compound in the inter? What is the compound? What is the idol sentence?
What is the idol sentence? So how many types are there in the idol sentence? It also means "samasah". Let's see here that there are mainly six types of Samasaha. So, in the Avibhava Samasam, Tatpurusha Samasam, and Tatpuru Samasam, there are two types: Karmadharya Samasam and Dvigu Samasam. Next is the dualistic and pluralistic system. These are the six compounds given in that second [clearing throat] semester already these only studied in intermediate second year but there are very less examples are given but here given number of the examples are given many examples are given all these are difficult to learn so I suggest you easy and important just learn them all learn them mom now the solution explanation also it is not possible because that is the lock of time so that's why what are the easy are important easy important let me tell you learn them so first one of these came mom in the solution [clearing throat] compounds first one avybhava solution avybhava [clearing throat] solution given mom so this This is easy, this is avebhava, this is very simple, easy, but here given, totally 18 examples, 10, 18 examples, but you can learn, see, once, the clue, I will give a clue, what is avebhava, the original, the previous, the main, the previous, the main, the avebhava, said, here, [clearing his throat], in the sentence, since that is avyayavam, then the number of the organs is there, so there are the number of organs in Sanskrit, in which there are upa, suva, duhu, nihi, nihi, nihi, nihi, ati, ati, in this way, this is all, there are many more, if we take the organs, so here given, this is all avyaya, anu, prati, parah, yada, yada, aa, prati, next, prati, so [Throat Clearing] These are all called adverbs. If this is the first word in the sentence, then that is what you should identify as an adjective.
Okay, that's all, identify it so you can get one mark. You will know the name of the word, which is called Avebhava Samasam. Then how to write the answer is just the meaning of the word Yadhashakti means power of mind. The usual means of duty are arbitrary. So next indirect means Akshoha Param, next Pratyaham means Ahani Ahani. So in this way after identifying it is avebhava samasam next how to write idol sentence just write the meaning of the samasam just write the meaning of the samasam in sanskrit are sanskrit lo us in english i.e. word meaning can be written in some way hard how can we write sanskrit sir it is not possible if you think in general so thats why you should learn already here pratyaham means every day that is in sanskrit ahani ahani sr no next direct means aksanoha prati here akshoha prati means directly in front of our eyes that is direct means akshoha prati akshanah means what eyes are in front of the eyes that is direct means paraksha means here akshoha param away from the eyes indirect indirect is called. So in this way the word meaning should be written in sanskrit that is called विग्रहा वाक्यमांगाम In this way you can easily learn the Aavayabhava Samasam, but if not, here are 18 examples given. Here are 18 and 17 examples given. If you learn with a little patience, you can easily answer. Tatpurusha Samasam. Tatpurusha Samasam. Also this is very simple. The main ingredient of the sentence is called Tatpurusha. Uttara matadhya pradhana tatpurushah so in tatpurushah the second word is important Amma for us in the avyayabhava sentence the first word is organ is important but in tatpurushah the second word is important Second word is important Here so based on that second word it is [correcting the throat] we can easily identify that which sentence Amma so after identifying like that the next [correcting the throat] is to write its meaning that is to write its meaning that is idol sentence So so here in tatpurushah there are the seven types Amma what are they Prathama tatpurushah Prathama tatpurushah Next that Dwitthiya tatpurushah Tritiya tatpurushah Chaturthi tatpurushah And what else [correcting the throat] Ichcharamma So you already know what it is already Panchami Tatpurushah Shashti Tatpurushah and that last one came Nai Tatpurushah So [clearing throat] I can't say this eight Amma So it is another Naitatpurushah that gives a negative meaning If you compare it with all the other categories This is easy Adhrahmanah means my Brahmanah Ajanasvaha means my self Adharmah means my Dharmah In this way we can understand this one easily So what are all these Amma This first [clearing throat] First Tatpurushah That is So I will give you a small clue So First Tatpurushah Here is the first Tatpurushah that is for us [clearing throat] These are the words that you learn in Intermediate First Those who have knowledge about Shabdas and Shabdas learned in the second year and degree first year, those who have knowledge about Shabdas, you can easily understand and write this Samasah in Prathama Dwitiya, Tritiya, Chaturthi, Panchami, Shashti Saptami, all these should be understood based on Shabdas and not based on Vibhags, you can understand and how to write a statue sentence that is you should write based on the Shabdas. Those who have good knowledge about Shabdas, you can read Tatpurusha: Seven types and also Naitatpurusha: Naitatpurusha is already said to give that negative meaning, right? It is very simple, next, next, in this Tatpurusha, the Karmadhare Samasam is the one of the type, just leave it for choice, this will be a little difficult, Leave the choice completely below Next [Grunts] Come on, learn this So, in Tatpurusha, there are seven types, leave the choice aside. There are many examples. So, after the Avibhava Samasam, directly you try to learn the Digu Samasam. Learn the Digu Samasam. This will be easy.
So, what is the Dvigu Samasam?
Sankhyapurvo Dviguhu Sankhyapurvo Dviguhu said here, it means if the first word is number, where the first word is number, that is called the Digu Samasam. So, next, how to write the idol sentence, just write the meaning of the word, just write the meaning of the word, what does Panchagavam mean? Samaharah Tribhu means three worlds, Samaharah Pancharatra means five nights at a time.
This way, we can easily identify the collection and easily write the idol sentence. So check this and also check the Anga Samasam. There are more examples but where the first word is avayayam. There are many Angasams. There Angasams are once and then Upanihi. If you remember all of them, you can easily get Aavayabhava Samasam and Digu Samasam. Also where the first word is number. That is Diggu Samasam. You already know. You must have studied Intermediate. Next, they asked you something new here. What are the Gati Samasam?
Okay, Gati Samasam. Pradi Samasam. Upapada Samasam. Amma. All these [correcting the throat] are also just examples.
So that's why here given two examples. Here given three examples. You are given two examples. Only once you read them and remember them, you will easily have a chance to ask one of these. So you can answer this easily too. So that's why you should look at the Gati Samasam, Pradi Samasam and Upabodha Samasam. Take a look at these too and remember them, Mom.
So there are two very few examples so next [clearing throat] next come to third one so third one comes duality solution mom it is very simple very easy to learn already learn it in intermediate second year so both material main duality. The dual element is called the dual. This means that no matter how many words we have in a given sentence, they have equal importance. They are all of equal importance. If everything has equal importance, that is called the duality. Dual means both dual, sorry mom, not dual, dual compound, dual compound means how many words are in a word compound, if both the words have the same importance, that is called dual compound, that is what I said, both the main substance is dual. SR No That Is So That's How You Can Easily Identify After Identifying Next Just Write Just Write The Meaning Of The Word Ramakrishno Means Ramahatya Krishna Aa Bhimaarjuno Means Bhimahatya Arjunachcha Patra Pushpa Falani Means Patracha Pushpancha Palanicha That's Just Write The Meaning Of The Word That Is Any Should Write In English In English Only Rayalamma Should Read All These Once There Are Examples Of These Three Categories So No Need To Those Categories We Don't Need These Categories Just Learn Like This Learn Whatever You Are Given Just Write Dual Compound Dual Compound.
These sub-subtypes are not necessary for us to mention here. So, this dual compound is very, very simple.
I am saying it again. So, in a compound of three words or there are three words or there are four words or there are any number of words, they all have equal importance. That is called a dual compound. After identifying them, the next step is to write them easily like this. I made a mistake here. So that is Pitaro means mother, father, mother, father. Pitaro means mother, father, father. So Pitaru means who are the parents, who is the greater among them, who is the greater among them, whether both are equal, or not, that is Matacha Pitacha. Dampati means Dampati means wife and husband. The husband and wife say, "Who is greater between them that is both equal?" So in this way you can easily understand that is dual sentence next come to plural sentence mother this is the tough so [clearing throat] leave this also under choice you who I said are easy one is the same sentence next come the double sentence above the dual sentence one is the masculine sentence one learn one. The dualistic concept, the next one, the initial concept, the final concept, and the final concept are one. The next dual term is one. Concentrate fully on these, mother. So then you can easily answer six, giving a total of 10, right? You can easily answer a six out of 10. 6 * 12 marks.
So, to write extra here means to learn everything. So it is very tough to learn all the compounds in the second semester that's why I gave important ones like avyayabhava samasam one next tatpurusha samasam one naitatpurusha samasam and that dvigu samasam one that gati samasam pradi samasam upada samasam these are next and also dvandva samasam learn these mom if you learn these you can easily answer six six answer is next this is this what is this mom? So the last one comes, the plural form, this is a little tough, so if you learn it, you can learn it as you wish [clearing your throat] So what is a plural form, it is called the plural form, the plural form, it means the plural form, it means the plural form, it is easy for us to see in the form, here is the Mahabalah, here it is simple and easy to understand, so in the form, there are two words, three words, four words, no matter how many words there are, they will lose their importance, they will lose their importance, they will create a special meaning, we will create a special meaning. That is, creating a special meaning is called the Bahubri phrase. That is called Bahubrahi Samasam. So next Veera Purushah Veera Purushah Here are the two words So Veerahu Purushah Issaha said that is called Grama Visheshartham. So in a word, no matter how many words there are in a sentence, they lose their importance and create a special meaning. That is called the main meaning of the other material. That is called the main meaning of the other material. So this is the other material principle. That is the Bahuri Samasam. Once you concentrate, you will understand it easily. So leave all this aside. If you want to learn Bahuvri Samasam, leave these aside and learn till now. Mom.
From these, a compulsory one will be asked in the exam. Write one compulsory one.
So these are also easy. If you concentrate a little, then this Bahuvri Samasam will also be very simple and easy. Mom.
This is the part B.
