 Welcome, I welcome you all to this introductory video of the course, Samasa in Panimian Grammar, and this is the second course. In the first course, we studied theory of compounding as propounded in Panimian Grammar. We also studied various features of Samasa. We also studied the derivation process of Samasa in which we highlighted on the input in the form of a sentence, and output in the form of a Pratipadika, which becomes an input to the sentence. In the first course, we focused on the Tathpurusha Samasa. In this course, we shall study the remaining three important types of Samasas in Sanskrit, namely Avyaivhava, Bahuvrihi and Dhvandva, Pratidinam, Anurupam, Yathashakti. These are the examples of the Avyaivhava Samasa. Gajanana, Lambodara, Ekadant, are the examples of Bahuvrihi Samasa, and Ramalakshmana, as well as Bhimarjuna. These are the examples of Dhvandva Samasa. In this course, we shall study these three compounds in detail. We will revisit the theoretical background of Samasa. We will revisit the theory of Karakar, the process of speech production in general, and then we will focus on these three types of compounds. These three types of compounds are prevalent in many modern Indian languages, as well as other languages across the globe. The theoretical background provided by Paninian grammar, developed by the Paninian grammatical tradition, to explain the process of compounding with respect to these three compounds will also provide an insight to explain compounds in other languages. We will study the derivation process in which the Alawkika Vigraha, as well as Laukika Vigraha will be studied. We will study the concept of Nitya Samasa. We will also take into account the output generated by these three compounds, Avaibhava, Bahuvrihi, and Dhvandva. We will also deal with the Samasanthasafixes stated in the Paninian grammar, which are added at the end of these Samasas. We shall also pay attention to the Svarasutras pertaining to these three types of Samasas. There will be also a study of various other features like the gender of the Samasa, the Purva Padakarya, namely the Pomvatbhava, and also the Uttara Padakarya. These were mentioned in the first course and we shall revisit these phenomena in this course and then explain them with the focus on these three types of Samasas. I hope the study of these Samasas will provide an insight into the process of compounding, as well as the theory of compounding. This second course will complete the treatment of Samasas given in Paninian grammar in a brief manner. We hope that this course will benefit you all. Thank you very much.
