what should the word be for collection of four generations as per dvigu samasa?

चतुष्प्रसूतिकम् or चतुष्प्रसूतिः or चतुष्प्रसवी

assuming प्रसव or प्रसूति mean generation?

I think चतुस्स्तरी is the better term

In the context of dvigu samasa, where multiple components are combined to create a compound word, the word for a collection of four generations can be derived as follows:

चतुष् means "four."
प्रसूति or प्रसव can refer to "generation" or "birth."
Given this understanding, here are the options analyzed in the context of dvigu samasa:

चतुष्प्रसूतिकम्: This would imply "the four births" or "four generations," making it a suitable compound and fitting the dvigu samasa format.
चतुष्प्रसूतिः: This could mean "the four generations" but is less commonly used and may not fit as smoothly.
चतुष्प्रसवी: This form doesn’t seem to convey the meaning accurately in the context.
Based on standard usage in Sanskrit and the rules surrounding dvigu samasa, चतुष्प्रसूतिकम् is the most appropriate and clear choice for referring to a collection of four generations.
