Note: Agrees with ghaṭa-ādayaḥ in meaning, as objects are 'produced'. Appears masculine in the output, but ghaṭa-ādayaḥ is masculine. If ghaṭa-ādayaḥ is masc plural, then `jātāḥ` should be `jātāḥ` (masc nom pl). The form `jātāḥ` is ambiguous (can be fem nom pl or masc nom pl if the stem ends in ā).
