  1. कष्kaṣ1Pto hurt, kill

    कष्अ हिंसायाम्

    Class · Parasmaipada

    to hurt, kill

    N.B. jīva gosvāmī says हन्त्य्-अर्थाश् च (ये च तेषु गणेषु हिंसार्था धातव उक्तास् ते चुर्-आदाव् अपि ज्ञेयाः इत्य् अर्थः) "dhātus which mean "to kill" can also be cur-ādis (one should know that those dhātus having the meaning of हिंसा which were previously mentioned in the other nine gaṇas can also be conjugated as cur-ādis)" ।

    सिद्धान्त-कौमुदी, commenting on the same gaṇa-sūtra (हन्त्य्-अर्थाश् च) in the pāṇinian dhāṭu-pāṭha, says नव-गण्याम् उक्ता अपि हन्त्य्-अर्थाः स्वार्थे णिचं लभन्त इत्य् अर्थः "dhātus which mean "to kill" can also take स्वार्थ ण्इच् (cur-ādi-ṇi) even though they are listed in the other nine gaṇas" । this increases the list of cur-ādi-dhātus considerably । thus from the ad-ādi-dhātu हन्अ हिंसा-गत्योः we can form not only हन्ति "he kills", but घातयति "he kills" also ।
