Dear fellow list members,

does anybody happen to know of (an) example(s) from Sanskrit literature (preferably Vedic or Epic) in which a genitival aluk-compound is used as an insult? I mean in partcular the type of aluk-compounds whose usage is described and licensed by Pāṇ. 6.3.21 and 6.3.22.

Hints to secondary literature on cursing and swear words in Ancient India or on the aforementioned Sūtras (and maybe also Details on the Pāṇinian treatment of aluk-compound in general) would of course be highly appreciated as well.

Thanks in advance

Tim
