avyayībhāva-samāsa-prakaraṇa — outline (p17, SK 647–683, all 37 sūtras)

Forming the indeclinable compound (avyayībhāva): an avyaya joined to a syntactically connected word, the whole becoming one neuter indeclinable — upa + kṛṣṇasya → upakṛṣṇam ("near Kṛṣṇa"). SK lays down first the sāmarthya paribhāṣā and the three governing headings (samāsa, avyayībhāva), then the master rule cataloguing the sixteen senses in which an avyaya compounds and its sense-by-sense refinements, the upasarjana / pūrva-nipāta saṃjñā-set, the operations that actually build and decline the form (luk of the sups, neuter + hrasva, the am-substitute, sa-for-saha), and closes with the samāsānta ṬaC affixes keyed to the compound's final sound. Six outcome-groups. Ordering note: SK's own sequence is 647–660 (headings + luk + upasarjana + operations, interleaved), then 661–675 (the senses), then 676–683 (samāsānta). I have pulled the master rule 652 and its sense-refinements 661–665/666–675 forward into groups B–C (they answer which words compound and in what sense) ahead of the upasarjana saṃjñā (D, SK 653–656) and the form-building operations (E, SK 650 + 657–660), which are the mechanical apparatus that then acts on any such compound. 650 (SK-order right after 649) is deferred to E, where its luk builds the form.

A. The foundation — sāmarthya and the governing headings — running example: the whole machinery, upa + kṛṣṇasya → upakṛṣṇam

B. What an avyayībhāva IS — the master rule and its sixteen senses — running example: adhi + harau → adhihari (the parade of senses)

C. The sense-specific avyayībhāvas — ablative, token/lakṣaṇa, genitive, numeral — running example: apa + viṣṇoḥ → apaviṣṇu, ā + bālebhyaḥ → ābālam

D. The upasarjana / pūrva-nipāta saṃjñā-set and the hrasva it drives — running example: adhi + striyām → adhistri; pūrva-nipāta in upakṛṣṇam

E. Building and declining the form — luk of the sups, neuter + hrasva, the am-substitute, sa-for-saha — running example: adhi + harau → adhihari; upakṛṣṇam / apadiśam

F. The samāsānta ṬaC affixes, keyed to the compound's final — running example: upa + śarad → upaśaradam; then uparājam, upagiram, upasamidham
