There are many tatpuruşas (one for each of the noun cases, and a few others besides); in a tatpuruşa, one component is related to another. For example, "doghouse" is a dative compound, a house for a dog. It would be called a ''caturti-tatpuruşa'' (''caturti'' refers to the fourth case — that is, the dative). The most frequent kind is the genitive tatpuruşa. Examples are:-
  • ''jaya-prepshu'' = "victory-desiring". ( Accusative )

  • ''varşa-bhogya'' = "year - going to be enjoyed" = "to be enjoyed for a year" (adjective). (accusative)

  • ''deva-datta'' = "god-given" = "given by the gods". ( Instrumental )

  • ''vişņu-bali'' = "Vishnu-offering" = "offering to Vishnu ". ( Dative )

  • ''svarga-patita'' = "heaven-fallen" = "fallen from heaven". ( Ablative )

  • ''tat-puruşa'' = "that-man" in the sense of "that person's man". ( Genitive )

  • ''vyāghra-buddhi'' = "tiger-thought" = "thought of it being a Tiger ". (genitive)

  • '' Yajur-veda '' = "sacrifice-knowledge" = "the knowledge of sacrifice", and the name of part of the Veda s. (genitive)

  • '' Rudrākşa '' = ''rudra-akşa'' = "Rudra-eye" = "the eye of Rudra ". (genitive)

  • '' Raja-putra '' = "king-son" = "son of a king". (genitive)

  • ''gŗha-jata'' = "house-born" = "born in the house". ( Locative )

  • ''pūrvāhņa-kŗta'' = "morning-done" = "done in the morning". (locative)


Tatpuruşas are named after an example of the type: see in the list above.

The term ''caturti-tatpuruşa'' is a Karmadhāraya (a subtype of tatpuruşa), translating to "being both dative, and a tatpuruşa".

Note: in accent is.
