How to find Karmadharaya Samas?

Answer

To identify Karmadharaya Samas, look for these characteristics:

  1. Descriptive relationship - One word describes or qualifies the other
  2. Adjective + Noun pattern - Commonly follows this structure
  3. Internal relationship - Both words relate directly to each other, not a third entity
  4. Simple expansion - Vigrah uses "jo" (which/who) or direct description

Test method: If you can say "X which is Y" or "Y that is X," it's likely Karmadharaya.

Examples: Nilgai (blue cow), Maharaja (great king), Neelkamal (blue lotus)
