dear all,
i hope someone can clear my doubt.
i do not have devanagari font hence i will transliterate in english.
i have a doubt in TADDHITAS.
i understand the rules of grammar for denoting" descendent of"
for eg ragho: apatyam pumaan = raaghavah:
parvatasya apatyam stri = paarvatee
and so on for kaunteya, shaiva, vaishnava, karttikeya, vaasudeva, janaki etc
but whyis Dasharathasya apatyam pumaan = Daasharathih: and not DAASHARATHAH:
kindly illuminate my intellect
thanks

The rules of taddhita are complex. For the examples you cite,
(1) General Rule:
'an' is used to form patronymic derivations.
(2) One exception to the above rule:
Words ending in short 'a'. These are derived through 'in'.
(3) Exception to (2):
Certain words like Shiva.
(4) Another exception to (2):
Descendents of Vrishni.
raghava: from raghu - ends in 'u'. Here only (1) applies.
kaunteya: derives from kunti - feminine stem(derives through 'dhak').
shaiva: See rule (3).
vaishnava: from vishnu - ends in 'u'. Only (1) applies.
kartikeya: derives from krittika - feminine stem(derives through 'dhak').
vaasudeva: Derives from vasudeva. See rule (4).
daasharathi: derives from dasharatha which ends in a short 'a'. See rule (1).
But somehow, 'pradiyatam daasharathaya maithili' comes to mind. daasharathaya clearly is the dative form of daasharatha. I don't how this derivation comes about though.
