An elephant possesses tusks. He is therefore a दन्तिन् |
A student possesses the desire (अर्थ) for knowledge(विद्या). He is a विद्यार्थिन् |

Refer to Supplement 41 to learn how to decline these words. The feminine will go like नदी | पुस्तकिनी, विद्यार्थिनी etc. Do you now see why the woman of the house is called a गृहिणी ?
