(Samāsa-cakram: 10)
“The agent (kartṛ), object (karma), and verb (kriyā) [so] ordered, placing modifiers first and qualificands thereafter—this is the characteristic of word order (anvaya).”
Commentary
Vocatives usually appear at the beginning of an anvaya and relative clauses usually precede correlative clauses.
