Question

What is samas vigraha of दिन-रात

Answer 1

Answer:

• A compound word formed by combining two or more words is called a compound word. Also, the practice of breaking down words to explain the words from which the Samas word is formed is called Vigraha. Vigraha is the explanation of the Samasika word in minimum words.
• When using language we are sparing with words. Instead of two or more words, we use a single word. E.g. Instead of saying 'Chandracha Uday' we say 'Chandrodaya'. Instead of saying 'Vada made with potatoes', we say 'Batatevada'. Such a combination of words is called Samas.
• The word 'Samas' is derived from the Sanskrit root 'Sam+As' and means 'to bring together'. While forming a compound word in the margin, we filter out the conjunctions or words in it while showing the relationship between those words. Samas is also an economy of language.
• When the suffixes or words showing mutual relation between two or more words are lost to form their conjunction, this combination of words is called Samas – Samas in Marathi. This compound word formed in this way is called the Samasika word.
