Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The word 'Pankaj' (पंक + ज) literally means "born in mud". Instead of implying any general object born in mud, it specifically points to a third meaning: the Lotus flower. When a compound word points out a specific third meaning leaving its literal components, it is a Bahuvrihi Samas.
