(in Gr.) ‘subordinate, secondary’ (opposed to praḍāna | प्रडान |), any word which by composition or derivation loses its original independence while it also determines the sense of another word (e.g. the word rājan | राजन् | in rājapuruśa | राजपुरुश |, ‘a king's servant or minister’, and the word apiṣali | अपिषलि | in āpiṣala | आपिषल |, Pāṇ. i, 2, 43, &c.; vi, 2, 36; in a Bahu-vrīhi compound both members are upasarjana | उपसर्जन |; in other compounds generally the first member, Pāṇ. ii, 2, 30; for exceptions See Pāṇ. ii, 2, 31)
