Root दम्

दम्dam4Pto tame, subdue

दम्^उ उपशमे

Class 4P · Parasmaipada · पुष्-आदि, शम्-आदि, घट्-आदि gaṇas

to tame, subdue

N.B. commenting on this dhātu, सिद्धान्त-कौमुदी says उपशम इत्य् ण्य्-अन्तस्य । तेन सकर्मको 'यम्, न तु शमि-वद् अकर्मकः "the word उपशम in दम्^उ उपशमे is made from a ण्य्-अन्त-धातु । thus दम्^उ is sakarmaka, unlike शम्^उ which is akarmaka" । the word उपशम in दम्^उ उपशमे is made from उप + शम्^उ + ^ण्इ + ^घ्अ^ण् and there is no vṛṣṇīndra because of HNV sūtra 397 । thus the sense is cause to be calm" or, in other words, tame, subdue ।" this उपशम is different from the उपशम in शम्^उ उपशमे which is formed from उप + शम्^उ + ^घ्अ^ण् and which just means be calm ।"

HNV 541: शम्-आदीनां त्रिविक्रमः श्ये (the अ of the śam-ādis becomes trivikrama when ^श्य follows) ।
