PKEFACE TO THIRD EDITION

IN preparing a new edition of this grammar I have found
misprints requiring correction to be few and insignificant.
The alterations that seemed necessary are nearly all concerned
with facilitating the use of the book for students. One of
these is the indication of the relevant number of chapter and
paragraph on the inside top corner of each page. Since the
grammar is intended to supply a complete account of Classical
Sanskrit, many paragraphs may be omitted till a later stage
of study. I therefore here append a list of those which are
essential for absolute beginners and thus constitute a virtual
primer of Classical Sanskrit.

I: 1-7, 8-12, 13. II: ]6-22, 27, 30-34, 36 A. B v 37, 38, 40,
42-44, 45, i. a, 52-55, 65, 67. Ill: 70, 71, 73, 74, 77, 85,
87i9 } i, 97 i, IOT D(p. 63), 103, i, 2, 109-111, 120.
IV; 121-128, 131, 132 (only Pres. Par., pp. 92, 98), 135, 136,
138, i (only Jtud., Par.), 141 a (only Par.), 143, i (only Par.),
147 (only Par.), 148 (only a<lam\ 151 (only Par.), 154 (only
Pres.), 156, 160, i, 2, 162, 163, 167, 168, 165, 172, 173.

When the student has gone through these paragraphs he
will be quite prepared to begin reading. Any new gram-
matical forms he now meets with he will be able to find
explained in the paragraphs that have been passed over. In
this way he will understand, with the aid of a vocabulary,
every word in the first canto of the Story of Jfdla within the
course of a month, and know all the grammar necessary for
reading easy Sanskrit texts.

vi PREFACE TO THIRD EDITION

Since the appearance of the second edition of this work
(1911) ray Ved'ic Gmmnarfor Students was published (1916).
Though this new book seemed at first sight to make Appendix
III superfluous in the present work (pp, 236-44), I decided
to retain it as presenting Vedic grammar in an abridged form
and rendering it easier for absolute beginuers to master,

PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION

THE original form of. the present work was my abridgement
(1886) of Max Miiller's Sanskrit Grammar (2nd ed., 1870).
That abridgement was the outcome of what I had found by
experience, both as a learner and a teacher, to be unessential in
an elementary grammar. It was also partly due to my con-
viction that the existing Sanskrit grammars, being too much
dominated by the system of Panini, rendered Sanskrit un-
necessarily hard to learn. The introductory sketch of the
history of Sanskrit grammar prefixed to the present rolume
will, I think, sufficiently show that the native Indian system
is incompatible with the practical methods of teaching and
learning in the "West,

In the first edition of this grammar, published in 1901, the
earlier book was transformed into an entirely new work.
Though, on the whole, considerably enlarged it showed many
omissions, For I made it my guiding principle to leave out
all matter tbat is found exclusively in Vedic literature or in
the Hindu grammarians, the aim I had in view being to
describe only such grammatical forms as are to be met with
in the actual literature of post- Vedic Sanskrit. The student
of Sanskrit grammar would thus not be burdened with matter
which could never be of any practical use to him. Hence
I refrained from employing, even in a paradigm, any word
not to be found in the literature; though for the sake
of completeness I here often gave inflected forma represented
only by other words of the same type. The purpose of the
book, then, was not to supply a mass of forms and rules
mainly useful for answering examination questions more or

viii PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION

less mechanically, bat to provide the student with the full
grammatical equipment necessary for reading any Sanskrit text
with ease and exactness.

The present edition has undergone a thorough revision aided
by the experience of ten more years' teaching and by the sugges-
tions of pupila and others who have used the first edition. The
improvements chiefly consist of additions, which have increased
the size of the book by twenty-four pages.

An entirely new portion of the grammar are the three
sections comprised in pages 159-168. The first (182) deals
with nominal stem formation, giving an account of the primary
and secondary suffixes, and thus furnishing the student with
a more complete insight into the structure of Sanskrit words
than the first edition supplied. lu connexion with these suffixes
a surrey (183) of the rules of gender is added. The third new
section (184) describes the formation of verbal compounds.
The most noticeable case of expansion is otherwise to be found
in the rules about t&e treatment of final dental n in Sandhi :
these now give a complete account (36, 40) of the changes
undergone by that letter. In the accidence a few new paradigms
have been introduced, sueh as grdvan (90, 4), and additional
forms have been given, as ni the difficult s-aorist of dah, where
( I 44i 5) * v n middle forms, though not occurring in that verb, are
supplied as a model for other verbs presenting similar difficulties
of euphonic combination^ Other improvements are intended to
lacilitate the use of the grammar. Thus in the list of verbs
(Appendix I) abbreviations have been added to indicate the
varioo* forms which beginners have otherwise often found
difficulty in identifying. Again, the Sanskrit Index has been
made both fuller and more eixplanatory (see e.g. prakrta). A
decidedly practical improvement is the substitution of a brief
flympgb of the sulrject-matter far an elaborate table of contents
at thft beginning, and the addition of a General Index at the

PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION ix

end. All these extensions and changes will, I feel sure, he
found to have considerably increased the practical value of the
grammar both in matter and form.

As in the first edition, the book is transliterated throughout,
excepting the list of verbs (Appendix I) and the syntactical
examples at the end (180 ; 190-218). The system of trans-
literation remains the same, being that which is now most
generally adopted in the West. This system includes the use of
r (to be pronounced with a syllabic value, as the r in French
chambre) to represent the weak grade of the syllables ar and ra.

The improvements appearing in this edition are largely due
to the suggestions of former pupils or of friends. The gentlemen
to whom I owe thanks for their advice are Prof, E. J. Eapson ;
Dr. James Morison; Mr. M. L. Puri, B.A., of Exeter College;
Mr. Horace Hart, M.A., Controller of the University Press; and
especially Mr, T. E. Moir, I.C.S., of Wadham College, as well as Dr.
F. W. Thomas, Librarian of the India Office. Mr. J. C. Pembrey,
Hon. M.A., Oriental Reader of the University Press, has read
with his usual care the proofs of this edition, which is separated
by no less an interval than sixty-four years from the first Sanskrit
Grammar which he (together with his father) corrected for the
press, that of Prof. H.H.Wilson, in 1847. T <> Dr. A. B. Keith
I am indebted for reading the proofs of this as well as of all the
other books I have published since 1900. I must take this
opportunity of thanking him not only for having read the proofs
of the whole of my Vedic Grammar, but also for having passed
several sheets of that work through the press for me during my
absence in India between September, 1907, and April, 1908.

INTRODUCTION

BRIEF HISTORY OF SANSKRIT GBAMMAR

THE first impulse to the study of grammar in India was given
by the religious motive of preserving intact the sacred Vedic texts,
the efficacy of which was believed to require attention to every
letter. Thus, aided by the great transparency of the Sanskrit
language, the ancient Indian grammarians had by the fifth cen-
tury B.C. arrived at scientific results unequalled by any other
nation of antiquity. It is, for instance, their distinctive achieve-
ment to have recognized that words for the most part consist on
the one hand of roots, and on the other of affixes, which, when com-
pounded with the former, modify the radical sense in various ways.
The oldest grammar that has been preserved is Panini's. It
already represents a fully developed system, its author standing
at the end of a loiig line of predecessors, of whom no fewer than
sixty-four are mentioned, and the purely grammatical works of
all of whom, owing to the excellence and comprehensiveness of
his work, have entirely perished.

Panini is considerably later than Yaska (probably about
500 B,C.), whom he mentions, and between whom and himself
a good number of important grammarians intervene. On the
other hand, Paniiu is much older than his interpreter Patafijali,
who probably dates from the latter half of the second century B. c.,
the two being separated by another eminent grammarian, Katya-
yana. Pftnini himself uses the word yavanml, which Kiityayana
explains as ' writing of the Tavanas ' (i.e. laones or Greeks). Now
it ig not at all likely that the Indians should have become
acquainted with Greek writing before the invasion of Alexander
in 327 B.C. But the natives of the extreme north-west, of
whom Panini in all probability was one, would naturally have
become acquainted with it soon after that date. They must,
howeve^, have grown familiar with it before a grammarian
would make a rule as to how to form from Tavana, 'Greek/

INTRODUCTION xi

a derivative form meaning 'Greek writing \ It seems therefore
hardly possible to place Pan in i earlier than about 300 B.C.

Panini's grammar consists of nearly 4,000 rules divided into
eight chapters. Being composed with the utmost imaginable
brevity, each Sutra or aphorism usually consists of only two or
three words, and the whole work, if printed continuously iu
medium-sized Devanfigarl type, would not occupy more than
about thirty-five pages of the present volume. And yet this
grammar describes the entire Sanskrit language in all the details
of its structure, with a completeness which has never been equalled
elsewhere. It is at oiice the shortest and fullest grammar in the
world.

In his endeavour to give an exhaustive survey of the bhasa
or classical Sanskrit with a view to correct usage, Panini went
on to include within the scope of his grammar the language of
the sacred texts, which was no longer quite intelligible. He
accordingly gives hundreds of rules about the Veda, but without
completeness. His account of the Yedic language, taken as a
whole, thus shows many gap?, important matters being often
omitted, while trifles are noticed. In this part of his work Panini
shows a decided incapacity to master his subject-matter, atlri-
" bating to the Veda the most unbounded grammatical license,
especially iu interchanging or dropping inflections.

The grammar of Panini is a Sabdanuiasana, or ' Treatise on
Words ', the fundamental principle of which is, that all nouios are
derived from verbs. Starting with the simplest elements into
which words can be analysed, root, affix and termination, Panini
shows how nominal and verbal stems are formed from roots and
complete words from stems. He at the same time indicates the
functions which words acquire by the addition of formative
elements and by being compounded with other words. It is a
peculiarity of Paniui's word-formation, that he recognizes deri*
vation by suffixes only. Thus when a verbal root like bhid, i to
pierce/ is used in the nominal sense of 'piercer', he has recourse
to the highly artificial expedient of assuming an imaginary suffix,
for which a blank is substituted I

Yaska records that the universality of Sakal&yana's principle
of nouns being derived from verbs was contested by Gargy&,
who objected to the forced etymologies resulting from a general

xii INTBODTJCTION

application of this principle. Gargya maintained that if aiva,
1 horse/ for instance, were derived from ai, 'to travel/ not only
would everything that travels be called aiva, and everything
he named after all its activities, but states of being (Ihwva) would
he antecedent to things (which are presupposed by those states).
Panini makes a concession to Gargya's objection by excluding
all words the derivation of which is difficult owing to their form
or meaning, as aiva, l horse/ go,' cow/ andpun^a/man/ Primary
nouns of this kind had been collected before Panini's time in a
special list, in which they were often forcibly derived from verbal
roots by means of a number of special suffixes. The first of these
suffixes being u 9 technically called un, the whole list of these
formations received the name of un&di (' beginning with tin').
Panini refers to all such words as ready-made stems, the formation
of which does not concern him.

The Unadi list which Panini had before him survives, in a
somewhat modified form, as theTJnSdi Sutra with the commentary
(dating probably from the thirteenth century JLD.) of Ujjvala-
datta. In its extant shape this Sutra contains some late words,
such as dlndra (Lat, denarius), a noun which cannot have come
into use in India much before 100 A.D.

The proper object of Panini's grammar being derivation, he
does not deal with phonetics as such, hut only incidentally as
affecting word-formation, or the combination of words in a
sentence. He therefore does not give general rules of phonetic
change, but since his analyses, unlike those of the Un&di Sutra,
move within the bounds of probability and are generally correct,
being in many cases confirmed by comparative philology, he
actually did discover several phonetic laws. The most important
of these was the interchange of vowels with their strong grades
gwa and vrddhi (cp. iy), which Grimin called ablaut, and
which comparative grammar traces to the original Indo-European
language. The other great phonetic discoveries of the Indians
had already been made by Panini's predecessors, the authors of
the original Prfiti&khyas, the phonetic treatises of the Vedic
schools.

P&nini also treats of the accents of words in derivation and in
the sentence, but with syntax in our sense he does not deal,
perhaps owing to the simplicity of the sentence in Sanskrit.

INTEODUCTION xiii

The general plan of Panini's work is as follows : Book i, con-
tains the technical terms of the grammar and its rules of inter-
pretation; ii. deals with nouns in composition antf case relations;
iii. teaches how suffixes are to be attached to verbal roots ; iv. and
v. explain the same process with regard to nominal stems ; vi. and
vii. describe the accent and phonetic changes in the formation of
words, while viii. treats of words in a sentence. This general
plan is, however, constantly interrupted by single rules or by
a series of rules, which were added by the author as a result of
progressive grammatical studies, or transferred from their natural
context to their present position in order to economize words.

In formulating his rules, Panini makes it his aim to express
them in as abstract and general a way as possible. In this he
occasionally goes so far as to state a general rule for a single
case; while, on the other hand, he sometimes fails to collect
a number of related phenomena under a single head.

In carrying out the principle of extreme conciseness dominating
his grammar, Panini resorts to various devices, such as ellipse of
the verb, the use of the cases in a special technical sense, and the
employment of heading rules (adhikara) which must be supplied
with a number of subordinate rules that follow. By such means
a whole rule can often be expressed by a single word. Thus the
ablative dJtatoh, literally 'after a root ', not only means 'to a root
the following suffixes are attached', but is also an adhikara extend-
ing its influence (anuvrtti) over some 540 subsequent aphorisms.

The principle of brevity is, moreover, notably applied in the
invention of technical terms. Those of Panini's terms which are
real words, whether they describe the phenomenon, as sam-dsa,
'compound/ or express a category by an example, as dvi-gu ('two-
cow'), 'numeral compound/ are probably all borrowed from pre-
decessors. But most of his technical terms are arbitrary groups
of letters resembling algebraic symbols. Only a few of these are
abbreviations of actual words, as it, 'indicatory letter/ from iti,
'thus.' Most of them are the result of great deliberation, being
chiefly composed of letters rarely occurring in the language. Thus
the letter I was taken as a symbol of the personal endings of the
verb ; combined with a cerebral t it refers to a primary tense or
mood, but combined with a guttural n it denotes a secondary
tense or mood. Thus lat, Zi'f, lut y let, lot, mean present, perfect,

xiv INTRODUCTION

future, subjunctive, and imperative respectively ; Ian, lun, lin,
imperfect, aorist, and potential.

Panini's grammar begins with the alphabet arranged on scien-
tific principles. To several of its letters is attached an it or
amtbandha (indicatory letter), by means of which can be formed
convenient contractions (called gratyahara) designating different
groups of letters. The vowels are arranged thus : a i w-n, r !"\
e o-n, at au~e. By means of the indicatory letter at the end of
the group, all the simple vowels can be expressed by ok, the
simple vowels together with the diphthongs by ac. As the last
letter in Sanskrit is A, written ha-l, the entire alphabet is ex-
pressed by the symbol al (much as if we were to express it by
az\ Indicatory letters are also attached to suffixes, roots, and
words in order to point to certain rules as applicable to them,
thus aiding the memory as well as promoting brevity.

Panini's work has two appendixes, to which it refers. , One of
these "is the Dhaturpatha, or 'List of Verbal Roots', arranged
according to conjugational classes,. the mode of inflexion being
expressed by accents and indicatory letters. A striking fact about
this collection is that of its 2,000 roots (many of which are, how-
ever, merely variants of one form) only about 800 have yet been
found in Sanskrit literature, while it omits about fifty Vedic verbs.
The second appendix is the Qana-patha, or 'List of Word-
' ' groups '. Panini gives rules applicable to the whole of a group
by referring tq^ its first word. This collection, which contains
many words occurring in Vedic works only, has been less well
preserved than the Dhatit-patha. The Ganas were metrically
arranged in the G^na-rcUna^mahodcidhi, or 'Ocean of the Gems
of Word-groups J j a work composed by Vardbamana in 1140 A. D.
Ponini's work very early acquired a canonical value, and has
continued, for at least 2,000 years, to be the standard of usage
and the foundation of grammatical studies in Sanskrit. On
account of the frequent obscurity of a work which sacrifices
every consideration to brevity, attempts soon began to be made
to explain it, and, with the advance of grammatical knowledge,
to correct and supplement its roles. Among the earliest attempts
of tbifl kind was the formulation, by unknown authors, of. rules of
interpretation {jpar&kcbd), which. Panini was supposed to have
followed in his grammar, and which are mentioned by his sue*

cessor Katyayana. A collection of such rules was made in the
eighteenth century by Nagoji-bhatta in his Paribhdsendu-^ekhara,
or 'Moon-crest of Interpretative Rules'.

Next we have the Varttikas, or c notes' (from vrtti, ' explana-
tion'), of Katyayana, on 1,245, or nearly one-third, of Panini's
aphorisms. That grammarian belonged to the Deccan, and pro-
bably lived in the third century B. c, When Katyayana's criticism
shows him to differ from Panini, an oversight on the part of the
latter is usually to be assumed ; but in estimating the extent of
such oversights, one sbould not leave out of account the fact" ihat
Katyayana lived both later and in a part of India far removed
from that of Panini. Other grammarians made similar notes on
Panini both before and after Katyayana ; subsequent to the
latter's time are the numerous grammatical Karikas or comments
in metrical form.

All this critical work was collected by Patafijali in his extemivo
Mahabl&sya, or ' Great Commentary ', with many supplementary
notes of bis own. His discussions take the form of a kind of
dialogue, and deal with 1,713 rules of Panini. a PataRjali'H work
probably dates, as has been said, from the latter half of the
second century B.C. The MaJiabhdpya in its turn was com-
mented upon in the seventh century by Bhartrhari iu his V&k-
yapadlya, or ' Treatise on the Words in a Sentence ', which ia
concerned with the philosophy of grammar, and by Kaiy&ta
probably in the thirteenth century.

About 650 A.D. was composed another commentary on Pfmiux,
the Kd&ka Vrtti, or ' Benares Commentary', the first five bookfl
being the work of Jayuditya, the last three of V&matia. Baaed
on a deteriorated text of Panini, it contains some errors, but hits
the merit of conciseness and lucidity. Though much shorter
than the Mahabh&sya, it is particularly valuable as the oldest com-
mentary on Panini that explains every Sutra. The eacum^lvfl that
it gives in illustration are, as a rule, derived from older inter-
preters. Such borrowing was a usual practice; oven Pittnft-
jali speaks of stock examples as mfirdhdbhipikta, or c conHccnitetT
(lit. ' sprinkled on the head ').

In the fifteenth century Hamacandra endeavoured m his /V/*-
kriyarkaumudl, or ' Moonlight of Method ', to m*ko i'&nim'*
grammar more intelligible by rearranging its mutter iu a iuuro

xvi INTBODTJCTION

practical way. The SiM&nta~kaumucfc f or 'Moonlight oi
Settled Conclusions ', in which Bhattoji in tbe seventeenth centur?
disposed Panioi's Sutras in a more natural order, had a siimlai
aim. An abridgement of this work, entitled Laghu-fyiddhanla-}
kaumu&i or ' Short Moonlight (of Settled Conclusions)*, by Vara-
daraja, is commonly employed as a useful introduction to the
native system of grammar. A belief in the infallibility of Panini,
which still prevails among the Pandits, has often led the above-
named interpreters, from Pataftjali onwards, to give forced
explanations of PSnini's rules.

Other later grammarian?, not belonging to the school of Panintj
are on the whole of little importance. While adducing hardly
any new material, they are much less complete than Panini, since
they omit whole sections, such as rules about Vedic forms and
the accent, Introducing no new points of view, they aim solely
at inventing technical devices, or at presenting their subject in
a more lucid and popular form. Among these non-PSninian
grammarians may be mentioned the names of Candra 1 , who flour-
ished about,6go A, D *; the pseudo-S&katayana, who was posterior
to theoa Vrtti ; and the most important of them,Hemacandra
(twelfth century). The Katanira by J3krva-v&rman (of uncer-
tain date), whose terminology has striking affinities with older
works, especially the Prati&khyaa, seems to have been the most
influential of these later grammars. It served as a model for the
standard PfiK grammar of Kaccayana, and the native grammars
of the Dravidians and Tibetans. Vopadeva's Mugdha-bodha, or
'Enlightenment of the Ignorant ', a very technical work dating
from the thirteenth century, has beeo, down to the present day,
the Sanskrit grammar chiefly used in Bengal Lastly, we have
tlw Saraswrti Sutra^ or 'Aphorisms of the Sarasvati Grammar ',
by an unknown author, a work distinguished by lucidity as well

as conciseness.

There are, besides, a few works dealing with special depart-
ments of the subject, which form contributions of some impoitance
to our knowledge of Sanskrit grammar. The PMp Sutra of

gfantanava, composed later than the Mahabhasya, but at a time
when there was still a living knowledge of the ancient accent,
gives rules for the accentuation of nouns, not according to the
analytical method of Pfinini, but with reference to the finished
word. As Panini does not determine the gender of individual
words, though he treats of feminine suffixes and does not ignore
differences of gender in general, some value attaches to works
dealing with the subject as a whole, especially tp Hemacandra's
LingQrvuiasana, or * Treatise on Gender '.

The first Sanskrit grammar ever written by a European was
composed by the German missionary Heinrich Roth, a native of
Augsburg, who died at Agra in 1668, as Superior of the Jesuit
College in that city. This work was never published, but the
manuscript is still preserved at Rome, There is, however, in
Kircher's China Illustrate*, (Amsterdam, 1667), pp. 16263, a
contribution by Both, which contains an account of the Sanskrit
alphabet with five tables in Devanfigari characters (undoubtedly
the earliest specimens of that script to be found in any book
printed in Europe) l .

The first printed European- 'Sanskrit grammar was that of
Paulinus a Saucto Bartholomaeo, written in Latin and published
at Borne in 1790. This work was based partly on the. MS.
material left by a German Jesuit missionary named Hanxleden,
who died in 1732. The first scientific grammar aiming at com-
pleteness was that of Colebrooke, published in 1805. It was
followed by that of Carey in 1806. The former work was based
on Panini, the latter on Vopadeva. The earliest Sanskrit
grammar written on Euiopean principles, and therefore of most
influence on the study of Sanskrit at the beginning of the last
century, was that of Wilkins (1808). The most notable among
his successors have been Bopp, Benfey, and Whitney. Bopp's
grammar was important owing no less to its lucidity than to its
philological method. Benfey was the first to combine with the
traditional material of Pfinini a treatment of the peculiarities of
the Vedic and the Epic d'ialects. He also largely used the aid
of comparative philology for the explanation of Sanskrit forms.
The American scholar Whitney was the first to attempt an

historical grammar of Sanskrit by treating the Vedic language
more folly, and explaining from it the development of classical
Sanskrit. The first grammar treating Sanskrit entirely from
tiie comparative point of view is the excellent work of Prof.
J. Wackernagel, of which,, however, only the first volume, dealing
with phonology (1896), and the first part of the second volume
(*95; treating of compounds, have yet appeared.

The best known of the Sanskrit grammars used in this country
during the latter half of tlxe nineteenth century are those of
Monier- Williams and Mas Mtiller. Both of these contain much
matter derived from the native system that is of no practical
utility, hut rather an impediment, to the student of literary
Sanskrit. All such matter has been eliminated in the present
work, not from any prejudice against the Indian grammarians,
hut solely with the intention of facilitating the study of the
subject by supplying only such grammatical data of the actual
language as have heen noted by scholars down to the present
time, Vedic forms have also been excluded, hut in order to
furnish English and Indian students with the minimum material
necessary for "beginning to read works written in the older
language, a brief outline of Vedic Grammar is given in
Appendix in. My recently published Vedic Grammar being too
elaborate for elementary students, I hope to briog out, as a
parallel to the present work, a simplified v edic Grammar, in-
cluding syntax, which will afford beginners the same help in
the stody of Vedic literature as this grammar does in that of
Sanskrit.

Though the accent is never marked in classical Sanskrit, I
have, owing to its philological importance, indicated it here in
tasmsHteraied words as far aa it can be ascertained from Vedic
texte. A sbort aceouat of the Vedio accent itself will be found

CHAPTEE I

THE ALPHABET

L Sanskrit (from sa?n-sltrta t 'elaborated') is that later phase
of the literary language of ancient India which is described in the
grammar of PSnini. In phonology it is practically identical with
the earlier Vtdio language. In accidence it has become different
from the dialect of the Vedas by a process, not of growth, but of
decay ; a large number of older forms, including the whole sub-
junctive mood and all the many infinitives save one, having entirely
disappeared, The chief modifications are in the vocabulary, which,
while it has lost much of its old material, has been greatly extended
by the accession of new words and new meanings. The difference,
on the whole, between the Vedic and the Sanskrit language may
be taken to be much about the same as that between Homeric and
Attic Greek.

2. From the Vedic language are descended the popular dialects
called Prakrit (* derived from the fundament/ i. e. from Sanskrit,
thence ' vulgar'). The oldest extant forms of these are preserved
in King A^oka's rock inscriptions of the third century B, c., one
of them, under the name of Pali, becoming the sacred literary
language of the Southern Buddhists. From the ancient Prakrits,
preserved in inscriptions, in entire literary works, and in parts
of Sanskrit plays, are descended most of the dialects of modem
India, PanjSbl, SindhI, Gujarat!, MarSthl, Hindi (which, with an

toably be useful. The unchangeable Anusvura (before a semivowel,
Uant, or ^ h : cp. 42 B i) has precedence of every other consonant :

ice t*^^ samvara, tJUJ^I sams'ayn precede ^f5ff sa-ka. The
ngeable Anusvara (10; 42 B 2) occupies the place of the nasal into
Lch it might be changed. Thus ?iRT sam-ga would be found beside
f sanga. Similarly the' unchangeable Visarga (before a hard
tural or labial) has precedence of every other consonant. Thus
^Tn\*y antalikarana and ^n H^C antalipura follow ^M^l anta
: precede *3|*nn anta-ka. But the changeable Visarga (before
ibilant) occupies the place of the sibilant into which it might be
nged. Thus ^n*^I antahstha would appear where ^n^5T
tsstha might be written.

There is no sign for medial (or final) ft, as this vowel is considered
je inherent in every consonant ; e. g. ^R = ka.

Medial or final I is written before the consonant after which it is
nounced; e.g. fSfi ki. Originally both Jt and I were written as
srea to the left and the right respectively above the consonant ; but
the sake of clear distinction were later prolonged wibh a vertical
nward stroke, the one on the left, the other on the right.

Though based, in nearly al] cases, on iti and &u respectively, e and o

simple long vowels e and 0* in most European languages.

Though etymologically representating ai and au, ai and au are at
tent, and have been since at least 300 B.C., pronounced as ai and Ha.

The medial forms of the vowels are in combination with consonants;
^ k, written as follows: ^ ka, ERT ka, fS|R ki, ^\ ki, 3p ku,

binntion with ^ r, n and n are written at the ride instead of below :
^ ra, ^ m.

1 The palatals, being largely derived from original guttuwds under
the influence of palatal vowels, were transliterated by Max Mttller with
italicized gutturals.

* This term is a translation of the old native Sanskrit word wRrdhanya,
produced in the head 1 (mnrflkan), i.e. on the roof or highest point
of the mouth, which is nearest the upper part of the head. This class
of sounds has also often been called linguals (since Bopp). They
are as a rule derived from original dentals under the influence of a
neighbouring cerebral a or r sound.

s ^ h IB not a semivowel, but the soft breathing corresponding to

the guttural vowel ^ a, which, unlike the other simple vowels, has
BO semivowel of -its own. It is identical with the second half of the
soft aspirates g-h, <fcc.

* I h (Visarga) the hard breathing, corresponding to the second half
of the hard aspirates k-h, &c., is regularly used at the end of a word
in pausti for s or r,and before hard gutturals and labiala. In the latter
case modifications of it called Jihv&mtiliya ('formed at the root of the
toDgtie 1 ), a guttural spirant ( = GernL 0A), and UpadhmSnSya ('on-
hrefcftSng*)' ihe Mlabial spirant/, were formerly employed, but have
beconae obsolete. They were both written X .

a It is importafit to note that in the above table only the letters in

7. AnusvSra ('after-sound'), the unmodified nasal following
a vowel and differing from the nasals given in columns, is written
with a dot above the letter which it follows; e.g. *R kam. Before
WJi it is sometimes written ^ e.g.^R kam. Its proper place was
originally before the sibilants and ^ h, whence its use extended.
From AnuBvara is sometimes distinguished Anunasika (' accom-
panied by a nasal'), the nasalized vowel.

8* In writing the DevanSgari alphabet, the distinctive portiou
of each letter is written first, then the perpendicular, and lastly
the horizontal line 1 ; e.g. ir, rt ? rf ta.

9. Consonants to be pronounced without any vowel after them,
are marked below with a, stroke slanting from left to right, called
Yiraiim (' stop'). Thus cik must be written ^R|j.

The only marks uf punctuation ure the wigu I at the end of a
half-verse ur sentence, and the sign II at the end of a verse or
paragraph.

The elision of ^ a at the beginning of a word is marked in
European editions with the sign called Avtigralw (' separa-
tion '); o-S- ?J<TPT te 'pi for ^ ^fft te iipi.

An ribbieviation IH indicated by the sign ; thus *|<i4-^gfihun,
%*T (ga)-temu

10. AMien the five nasals are followed by consonants of their
own cla*s within a word, they are often, to savo trouble, incor-
rectly replaced by the sign for Anusviira : e. g. ^fqid anikita
for ^f^-'fl ankita ; cJTpRT kampita for ftf*Rff kampita. In the
same way final J^m at the end of a sentence is often wrongly
written with Anus vara ; thus ^T^ aham for ^^*^aham. In both
cases the pronunciation remains unaffected by the substitution.

columns i, a, and 7 are hard (surd, voiceless), while all the rest are soft
(sonant, voiced).

1 This was uot originally iin essential clement in the letter, but
represents a part of the line below which the characters wtre written.

6 THE ALPHABET I n

n. If a consonant is followed immediately by one or more
consonants they are all written in a group; e.g. ^TW atka;
tfiTO?$ kartsnya. The general principle followed in the formation
of these conjunct consonants, is to drop the perpendicular and
horizontal lines except in the last letter. Most of these combina-
tions, with the exception of those transliterated with thick type in
the subjoined list, may be recognized without difficulty.

12. The following are the most noticeable modifications of
simple consonants when written in conjunction with others :

1. The component parts are indistinguishable in ^Tor V jfia=

^Tjf^Sf ; and in Bf or ^f ksa = ^ -f- ^ .

2. A horizontal line is sometimes substituted for the distinctive

portion of 7T t and for the loop of eR k : e.g. ^T tta = <t,

3. ^s is often. written t when followed by a consonant or by

the vowels u or r -, e.g. ^ sen, *J su, "*! sf.

4. "^ r following a consonant is written with a short oblique

stroke from right to left at the foot of the letter ; e. g.
W krn> ^ clra, J( s^ra, *&( ntrj-a.

^ r preceding a consonant or the vowel ^J r is written
with * placed at the top of the letter before which it is to
be sounded; e.g.TF% arka, *n*1 varsma; Pl^ufn* niri-tilu
Thw sign for ^ is placed to the right of any other marks at
the top of the same letter; e.g. "^S?" arkendu.

5. The cerebrals are pronounced similarly to the so-called dentals

t, d, n in English, the tongue being, however, turned rather
further back against the roof of the inoulh.

6, The dentals in Sanskrit are at the present day pronounced

as inter-dentals, being produced by bringing the tip of the
tongue against the very edge of the front teeth. In the
days of the ancient Indian phoneticians they -were pro-
nounced as post-dentals, being produced at the ba'ck of the
upper front teeth.

? The dental ^ s sounds like s in 'sin/ the cerebral ts like
sh in 'shun'; while the palatal ^s is produced midway
between the two, being the sibilant pronounced in the same
place as the spirant in the German ' ich.'

8. The Visarga, being a final hard breathing, is in India generally
pronounced as a hard h, followed by a short echo of the
preceding vowel.

9 The Anusvara, being a pure nasal unmodified by any stop, is

sounded like n in the French ' bon. f

io. Since about the beginning of our era Sanskrit has been pro-
nounced with a stress accent (instead of the earlier musical
accent) much in the same way as Latin, Thus the stress is
laid on a long penultimate (Kalidasa), OH the antepenulti-
mate when followed by a short syllable (Himalaya), and on
the fourth from the end when two short syllables follow
(karayati),

KTJLES OF SAJSDHI OK EUPHONIC COMBINATION

16. In Sanskrit every sentence is treated as one unbroken
chain of syllables. The coalescence of final and initial letters is
called Sandhi (' putting together'). The 'rnleg of SaniHri are
basedchieflyonthe avoidance ofhiattwandon assimilation.
The ahsence of Saoclhi is in many cases sufficient to mark the
stops which in other languages have to he marked hy punctuation.
Though "both are based on the same phonetic principles, it is
essential, in order to avoid confusion, to distinguish external
fKttilMj Tvhich determines the changes of final and initial letters
of words, from internal Sancthi, which applies io the final
letters of verbal root* and nominal stems when followed by certain
suffixes or terminations ,

4. The niles of external Sandhi apply, mth few exceptions
(which ace survivals of an earlier stage of external Sandhi), to
words forming compoxuids, and to the final letters of nominal
stems before the Pada or middle case-endings WJ. bhyam,

24* Inteij ectional particles consisting of or ending in vowels,
such as ^IT 5, ^ i, ^ n, ^ he, ^T^ 1 aho, are not liable to Sandhi :
1[ JTJ i indra, ' Indra'; ^T "WC * e^arn, f is it so indeed?'

25. The vowels f^i, ^l u, 1? e, when dual terminations, nominal
or verbal, remain unchanged "before vowels (^ a not being elided
after this dual If e) ; they are called Pragrhya ( c separate *) The
final of TRTT ami, a uom. plural (of the pronoun ^tn asau, 112),
is treated in the same way.

E. g. "BR^ 1 ^ift" kavl imau, c these two poets ' ; 'BT^T'ft sadhu

sciences ' ; ili^T^ ^|^*^yScete artham, 'they two ask for money' ;
^H*n il-yit ami aavab, * those horses.*

26. In the Epics, the law-books, and other works not strictly
conforming to the classical standard, vowel Sandhi is seldom
applied between the first and second line (Pada) of a hemistich.

Combination of Final and Initial Consonants.

27. The rules of Sandhi are only applicable after the final con-
sonant of a word has been reduced to one of the eight allowable
(actually occurring) consonants at the end of a word in pausa, viz. :

d

xf n, *^n, J^m J

The thirty-four consonants given in the table (6) are reduced
to these eight, as follows :

A final must be hard and unaspirated, the palatals (including
^ s) and ^ h are replaced by ^5 k or <[ t (1 fl ty ^ n )> ^?
by ^ t, ?E^ s and ^ r by Visarga, while Uln, ^7 ^ N l and ^v do

not occur* Thua the second, third, and fourth column*, as well as
the second line (the palatals), disappear entirely, leaving only
four tenues in the first, three nasals in the fifth, and Viearga
alone in the sixth and seventh.

28. No word may end in more than one consonant, except

when^r precedes a final fk, 3 t, c^t, ^p, which is radical (or

substituted for a radical) and not a suffix. In the case of 'all

other combinations the final letter or letters must be dropped till

only one, in the form allowable as a final, remains. Thus ^q*<*J^

bhavant-s becomes ITf^bhavan, 'being' ; ^iftH^ abibhar-t=

29. Place or organ of articulation.

i. The throat, the iwilate, the roof of the month, the teeth, the
lips, and the nose are called the places or organs of
articulation.

a. By contact between the tongue and the four places throat,
palate, roof, teeth the guttural, palatal, cerebral, and
dental consonants are formed.. Labial consonants are
formed by contact between the lips.

3* la forming the namls of the five classes, the breath partially

accompanies.

II 30 EXTERNAL CONSONANT SANDHI 15

4- The semivowels ^ y, ^ r, ^ 1, f v are palatal, cerebral,

dental, and labial respectively. They are described by the
old Indian grammarians as produced by partial or imperfect
contact of the tongue with the organ of articulation, ^f 1
often interchanges with or is derived from ^ r.

5- The three sibilants are hard spirants produced by partial

contact of the tongue with the. palate, roof, and teeth
respectively. Sanskrit has not preserved any of the
corresponding soft sibilants (English z, French j).
6. ^ h and I h are respectively soft and hard spirants produced
without any contact, and articulated in the position of the
vowel which precedes or follows-. ^ h, corresponding to
the second half of the soft aspirates g-h, ]-h, d-h, b-h, from
which it is in fact derived, occurs only before soft letters.
Visarga, corresponding to the second half of the hard
aspirates (k-h, &c.), occurs only after vowels and before
certain hard consonants. In India Visarga is usually
articulated as a hard h, followed by a very short echo of the
preceding vowel; e.g. qi: kali=kah a ,^Sfir: kavit==kavih l ;

30. Quality of consonants*

Consonants are

i. either hard (surd, voiceless) : columns i, 2, 7 in the table,

AnusvSra (besides all the vowels and diphthongs).

3. either aspirated : columns 2, 4, 7, besides ^ h (in 6) ;

or unaspirated : all the rest.

Hence the change of ^ c to ^ k is a change of place (palatal
to guttural), and that of ^ c to ^ j is a change of quality (hard
to soft) ; while the change of ^ c to *^g (hard palatal to soft

1 6 EXTERNAL CONSONANT SANBHI II 3 1

guttural), or of ?^t to Sfj (hard dental to soft palatal) is one of
"both place and quality.

31. It is essential to remember that consonant Sandhi cannot
"be applied till finals have been reduced to one of the eight allow-
able letters (2*7). The latter are then modified without reference to
their etymological value (except partially in the case of Visarga).
Only six Of these finals occnr at all frequently, viz. ^|[ k, ?t, *^n,
^p, ^ m, and Yisarga. The changes which final consonants
undergo are most conveniently treated with reference to (I) their
quality, (II) their place or organ.

I. Change* of Quality.

32. Final consonants must be soft before soft initials, and hard
before hard initials.

a. This rule affecls only the five 'final hard consonants (^jk,
^ %, *^t, t^p j and ; b) t the nasals (6; 36) not being liable to
changes of quality (but two of them,^n,,^m, are liable to changes
of place, like the two hard sounds ?^t and Visarga : 37).

Hence final ^| k, ^ }, ^ t, ^ p before sonants become
d, ^ d, W^b respectively ; e.g.

samyag uktam, ' well said ' ; f^[ TO: = ft[T*W: dig-gajal?

' lord of the world ' ; ^RE *u<4! = q<i<tiit|! san-mafiah, ' period

the east.'

34- Final ?^ t before ^1 becomes ^1 (through ^ d) ; e.g.
?T7^ <H*><+V= TrtRKTI^t'al labdham, ' that is taken.*

35. Since the nasals have no corresponding hard letters, they
remain unchanged in quality before hard letters ; but in several
cases a sibilant (after H.n) or cognate hard letter (after *^n or
^ n) is inserted between the two. An original palatal 'J ft or
cerebral TI^ n never occurs as a final letter (27). The guttural
vjp n, which is rare as a final, remains unchanged in that position,
but ^ k may be inserted after it before the three sibilants ; e. g.
ITTV ?$l pr&n s'ete or J4I& ?fa prSnk sete, ' he lies eastward/
Final Hm is liable to change before all consonants (42). Final
dental *^n remains unchanged before most letters, but is modified
before all palatals and cerebrals (except ^s), before the bard
dentals c^t and ^th, aud before the semivowel ^IJL Its treat-
ment requires a somewhat detailed statement.

38. A. The dental nagal ^n remains unchanged

i. before vowels (op. 52); e.g. ^iH.^^V^I tan uvaca/he apoke

II. Changes of Place.

37- The only four final consonants liable to change of place
are the dental ?^ t aud ^ n, the labial ^ m, and Visarga.

a. The dentals become palatal and cerebral before palatals and
cerebrals respectively.

b. Visarga and, to a less extent, *^m adapt themselves to the
organ of the following consonant.

1. Final c^t.

38. Final ?^t before palatals (^c, ^ ch, 3TJ, HJh, ^ s) is
changed to a palatal (^ c or ^J) ; e.g. TTc^ ^=*W tac ca,
'and that'; 7T?^fift*lf 13 H = dP*fe*lPH tac chinatti, 'he cuts that' ;
?rafl<<^ taj jiiyate, ' that is born ' ; Wc^ ^UlVf^ =
ffl *HU srnoti, but in practice) n^uHRf tac c-hvnoti 1 I

' he hears that.'

39. Final c^t liefore 3 ti ? &, ^ <l, dh (but not before \s)
is changed to a cerebral 01 <l or 1 dh) ; e.g. !T?Tc^ i3?l* =
H^^ft^: etatf thakkui-ah, 'the idol of him'; 7f^ v^Rl =r flj ej?|
tad dayate, ' it flies ' ; 7T?[. \*fH = flj\4kr) tad dhaxikate, e it

2. Final

40. Final ^n before 3JJ, 1J jh, and ^ s 2 becomes ^ fi ;
e. g. 7TPI. ^i^Ht = flllS^ni toft jayati, ' he conquers them ' ;

sSrdulan or

tftfi chardulan \ 'those tigers.'

1 With the further change of the initial *^ 4 to the corresponding
aspirate ^f ch, cp. 53.

B. Final J^in is changed to Anusvara before consonants :
i. necessarily before semivowels, sibilants, and J h ; e.g.

of final ^ n before the soft palatals WJ, ?J jh (40), the soft
cerebrals ^ d and dh (41), and the dental *^n ; and with that
of final c^ t before ^ n (33) ; thus e. g. in qi|vni*t ^
kiintau na the first word may represent Hie ace* pi. masc. 3RT-
?fT*t.k&ntan (36 A 4), the abl. sing. masc. ^Br^l^ kantat (33),
or the ace. sing. fein. UT*nTl. kantam (42 B 2).

4. Final Visarga.

43- Visarga is the spirant to which the hard ^ s and the cor-
responding soft ^ r are reduced in paiisa. If followed by a
hard letter

1. a palatal, cerebral, or dental (^ c, ^ ch ; Z t, ^ th ; ?^ t,
^th), it is changed to the sibilant (^s, t^s, ^*) of the class to
which the following letter belongs ; e.g. "

purnas candi-al;, 'the full moon '; 'TOT:
nadyas tirani, ' the bank of the river.'

2. a guttural or labial (^ k, ^f kh, ^ p, Ifi ph), it remains
unchanged 1 ; e.g. TfTf* ; EfSTT! tatah kamal;, ' thence love '; 'TOT''
MT^*^ nad yak pajara, ' the opposite shore of the river.*

3. a sibilant, it remains unchanged or may be assimilated 2 ;
e -g- $H* fit^J* suptali sisuli or ^JHHW^J* * tho child is asleep * ;
IRW; 'GT'h prathamat sargah or w^^y<|: prathamas eargfi^i,
' the fii'st canto.'

44. Yisarga (except when preceded by ^ a or ^Jf S) if followed
by a soft letter (consonant or vowel) is changed to ^ r; e.g.
avir ayam, * this poet ' ;

gaur gacchati, 'the cow walks ';
va3 r ur vat i, ' the wind blows.'

1 Cp. the treatment of *^n before hardiautes, 36 A 2, 3; B i.
3 This assimilation was undoubtedly the original Sandhi, and is
required by some of the ancient Vedic phoneticians.

48. The two pronouns m sal?, ' that/ and TJ^: esah, ' this '
(no a), retain Yisarga at the end of a sentence only, but
become ?t so and T^ft eso before ^f a (45, 2 l>) ; e.g. ^ft
<^Tf?f=*r <^<Tffl sft dadfiti, 'he gives'; *H f^:==^T T^? :
sa Indrah, 'that Indra*; but ^f: WRf^sr^ftjWfc^so 'bhavat,
' he was ' ; ^7f J ^: mrtab sat, ' ^e (is) dead/

49- Ht bholjt, an in-egular contracted vocative (for bhavas,
used as an interjection) of fl'flc^ bhavat, 'your honour,' drops
its Visarga before all vowels and soft consonants; e,g. Ht
^i(|9|=9ft ^5TTf bho Isana, 'O lord 1 : flt: ^fT:=Ht ^fTt
bho deval?, c gods ' ; but Ht: %^f : = H^"%^T: bhos chettab,
' cutter.*

*. The same mle applies to the contracted vocative H*ftj
bhagot (for bhagavas) from *Nf*|c^ bhagavat, * adorable on,e/

50. Nouns ending in radical ^ r (82) retain the "^ r before the
^ su of the loc- pi. ; e, g..TT^ + 55=^13 vSr-su, ' in the waters-*

a. ^nr^ abar (91, 2 N.) and ^^ svai- (indeclinable) retain their
^ r when compounded with trftT pati : ^HjMf?f! ahar-patih,
' lord of day/ *<t4f?f.' svar-patilj, ' lord of heaven.'

Doubling of Consonants.

51- ^ ch at the beginning of a word may always be doubled
after vowels; it must be so after a short vowel and after the
particles ^T a and TTF ma;e.g. 7TO ^i^i = 7W ^|)| tava
ccMya, 'thy shade'; ^T eei^^fn= m^l^^Pl acchadayati,
'he covers'; ^TT t^^c^=TT f^^^nia cchidat/let him not
cut'; but *1<^O^I^I badari-chaya or
cchaya, ' shade of jujube trees.'

24 EXTERNAL CONSONANT SANDHI II S 2

m. In the body of a void the doubling takes place after all
vowete : l^Efif icchati/he wishes ' ; ^351 mlecchak ' barbarian.'

52. Final ^ ft and ^ n, preceded by a short vowel and
followed by any wwel (or diphthong), are doubled; e.g.
pratyaM aste, 'he sits westward*;

dhavann asvafc, ' a running horse ' ; but
kavm ohvayasva, ' call the poets/ remains.

Initial Aspiration.

53. Initial *^s, not followed by a hard consonant, may be, and
in practice nearly always U, changed to the corresponding aspirate
^P <* after ^ e (38) and ^ fl (40) {

tflic ehlokena, 'by idiat verse *; WPT, *ni : = ^I c ' :> *.*l* dll5:vafs

B. Internal Sandhi.

56. The rules of internal Sandhi apply to the finals of nominal
and verbal stems before all terminations of declension (except
those beginning with consonants of the middle stem : 73 a) and
conjugation, "before primary suffixes (182, l),ancl before secondary
suffixes (182, 2) beginning with a vowel or ^y. They are best
acquired "by learning paradigms of nouns and verbs first. Many
of these rules agree with those of external Sandhi ; the most
important of those which differ from external Sandhi are here
added.

Final Vowels.

.57. In many cases before a vowel (and even the same vowel)
^ i and %^ I are changed to ^^iy ; ^ u and ^T u to ^^ uv ; ^ T
to H^ ir (cp. 18 and 20) ; e.g. \ft dhi-f^i = f%rf^T dhiy-i, loc.
sing., ' in thought'; *^+^ i = gf3[ bhuv-i, 'on earth ';
yu-yu + u V = g^g * yu-yuv-ut, 'they have joined';
gf + ati=(it,rn gir-ati, ' he swallows.'

58. Final *{ f - before consonant tenninations is changed to
|j^ Ir, after labials to ^T^ ur ; while ^ r (after a single con-
sonant) before ^y becomes ft ri (154, 3); e.g. ^ gf, passive
pres. 3. sing. 'ft^Kl gfr-yate, ' is swallowed ' ; *ftlj: gTr-nai, past
pass, part., 'swallowed'; ^ PF P ass ' P res - %ffi pur-yate, 'is
fiUed'; past part., TJjtf: piir-nalj, 'filled'; QT kr, pass. pres.
f!|| ^i<\ kri-yate, ' is done.'

59- H e, ^ ai, ^t o, ^ au are changed before suffixes
beginning with vowels or ^ y to ^R^ay, 'JIT^Sy, ^l^av,
^ini^av respectively (21 ; 22); e.g. % + ^PT=*Iin nay-ana,
'eye'; J ^ + H=TT^' i^y-e, 'for wealth';
'faracow j j ift + ^Tt = TRt nav-afc, 'ships';
gav-yah, ' relating to cows.'

26 INTERNAL CONSONANT SANDHI II 6-

Final Consonants.

60. The most notable divergence from external Sandhi is thi
unchangeableness of the final consonants (cp. 32) of verbal am
nominal stems before terminations beginning with vowels, semi-
vowels, and nasals 1 (while before other letters they usually follow
the tjiles of external Sandhi) ; e.g. TTTV pranc-ali, 'eastern';

vac-ani, ' let me speak,' flT*H vSc-ya, ' to be spoken,'
vac-mi, ' I speak * ; but ifW vak-ti, 'he speaks.'

61. Nominal or verbal stems ending in consonants, and followed
by terminations consisting of a single consonant, drop the ter-
mination altogether, two consonants not being tolerated at the
end of a word (28). The final consonant which remains is then
treated according to the rules of external Sandhi. Thus WT^-f
^prSfic+s, nom. sing., 'eastern/ becomes HT^ pr5h (the ^s
being first dropped, the palatals being changed to gutturals by
27, and the ^ k being then dropped by 28) ; similarly ^<i? +
?^ a-doh-M=^l|th^ a-dhok (35), 3. sing, imperf., ' he milljed. 1

6x Aspirates followed by any letters except vowels, semi-
vowels or nasals (60) lose their aspiration ; e. g.
randh+dhve=^^rnnd-dhve 2 / you obstruct';

% lap-sye, *I shaU take' ; but ^f%( yudh-i, 'in battle/
f! lobh-yat, 'to be desired/

1 ^ d is assimilated before the primary suffix ?[ -na ; e.g. in
an-na, c food' (for sd-na) ; and ?^ t, ^ d before the secondary suffixes
3R^ mat and ^TO maya ; e. g. fq^j^f^ vidyuu-mat, ' accompanied
by lightning* (vidyut), and ^4|| mrn-maya, 'conBisting of clfty'
(mrd).

a For Sanskrit tolerates two aspirates neither at the beginning and
end of the same syllable, nor at the end of one and the beginning of
the next*

II 63 INTERNAL CONSONANT SANDHI 27

a. A lost soft aspirate is, if possible, thrown back before V^dhv
(not f%( dhi), 3^bh, ?L S . according to 53; e -- ^J2$*^ a-bfcud-
clhvam, ' you observed,' ^jflfJ bhud-bhih, inst. plur., ^JW bhnt-
su, loc. plur., but ^fiV dug-dhi, 2. sing, imper., f milk.'

b. But it is thrown forward on a following ?^t and ^th 1 , which
are softened ; e.g.^R^+7T: lal)h+tati=*W: lab-dhah, 'taken * ;

= '^*B i : mnd-dhah, 'you two obstruct*;
^PV^band-dlitini, ' to bind.'

63. Palatals. a.AVhile ^c regularly becomes guttural before
consonants (cp. 61: 27 ; 6, N.I), SJJ in some cases (the majority)
becomes guttural fllk, ^g) 2 , in others cerebral (^ t, ^ d> ^.s) ;
e.g. ^Jff uk-ta, * spoken ' (from *P^ vac) ; ^W yuk-ta, 'joined '
(from ^ST^yuj); \^ rug-na, 'broken' (from ^^ruj ; cp. 65);
but XJ^ rat, om. sing, 'kiiig' (for TW v +^i'jH-s); ^^ mrd-
dhi,2.sing.imper.STipe J (from g^mrj): ^fras-tra, 'kingdom*
(from ^J^raj ; cp. 64).

b* *\i , before V dh, the middle terminations (73 a) and the nom.
^s, usually becomes ^ t * ^ ( J (sometimes { k or ^g); before
c^t, IT th, it always becomes TB^s (cp. 64), and before the ^s of
the future and of other conjugational forms, always ^ k; e.g.
from f%P^ vis we get fad^J vi^-su, 'in the settlers ' ; fTC vi^-t,
'entered'; ^^|fa vek-fyami (cp. 67), 'I shall enter.'

c. ^ c and ^j (not ^s) palatalize a following ^ n; e.g*
^TT^+TT yac+na=^rran ySc-fia, 1 request 1 ;

yaj-fla, ' sacrifice' ; but JHR pras'-na, 'question.'

1 Except in the case of the root VT dhn, 'place,' which has (according
to the analogy of a) \Wt dhat before ^ t and *T^th (eee below, J34i
third daw, i).

if. The ^ cb of the root Tf^ prach, 'ask,* is treated like *l>' :
Tre PTf-ta, * asked,' Uplift prak-syami, ' I shall ask, * TFR pras-
na, ' question.* (In external Sandhi, i.e. when final, and before
middle terminations, it becomes ^ t.)

64. Cerebrals change following dentals to cerebrals (cp. 39) ;
^+n is-hta=l^r ig.^ fished'; ftpG^+f%T dvis4-clhi=

dvid-<Jhi, 'hate'; ^Hf-h^TT^ sa^+nam = *TOT*l. san-nSm

tion, It regularly becomes ^ k before an ^ s in conjugation (cp.

treated are the perf. pass, participles of the roots fti^ anih and,
in one sense, *fl| muh : ftnV snig-dha, ' smooth/ and JJIV
mug-dha, ' foolish.*

b. ^ h, in all other roots, is treated like an aspirate cerebral,
which, after changing a following ^t, ^th, ^dh to h, and
lengthening a preceding short vowel, is dropped ; e. g.
lidha, ' licked f i fl

DECLENSION

TO* Declension, or the inflexion of nominal stems by means
of eadisge, is most conveniently treated under the three heads of
i* BOOHS (including adjectives) ; 2. numerals; 3. pronouns.

* three genders: masculine, feminine, and neuter;

a. The vocative is the same (apart from the accent) afl the
nominative in all numbers except the mosc. and fern. sing, of vowel
stems generally and the masc. sing, of consonant stems in -at, -an,
-in, -as (cp. 7605), -yas, -vas.

6. The nom, ace. sing. neut. has the bare stem excepting the
words in -a, which add J^m.

c. The iiom.voc. acc.plur. neut. before the ^ i insert *^n after
a vowel stem and before a single final mute or sibilant of a consonant
stem (modifying the *^n according to the class of the consonant).

73. An important distinction in declension (in stems ending in
^c, ?^t, *^n, ^s, and ^ r) is that between the strong and
the weak stem. If the stem has two forms, the strong and the
weak stem are distinguished ; if it has three forms, strong,
middle, and weakest are distinguished.

a. Shifting of accent was the cauae of the distinction. The
stein, having been accented in the strong cases, here naturally
preserved its full form ; but it was shortened in the weak cases
by the accent falling on the endings, For a similar reason the
last vowel of the strong stem, if long, is regularly shortened in

the vocative, because the accent always shifted to the first syllable
in that case.

73. The strong stem appears in the following cases :

Norn. voc. ace. dual [of masculine nouns .

Nom, voc. (not aco.) plarJ
Nom. voc. ace. plural only of neuters.
a. When foe stem has three forms, the middle stem appears

I. A. Unchangeable Stem*.

75- The number of these stems is comparatively small! there
being none ending in guttural or cerebral mutes, and none in
nasals or semivowels (except ^ r). They are liable to such
changes only as are required by the rules of Sandhi before th*
consonant terminations (cp. 16 a). Masculines and feminines
ending in the same consonant are inflected exactly alike ; and
the neuters differ only in the nom. voc. ace. dual and plural.

76- The final consonants of the stem retain their original sound
before vowel terminations (71) ; but when there is no ending
(nom. sing., the ^s of the m. f. being dropped), and before the
loc. pi, ?J su, they must be reduced to one of the letters *5 k,
^ t, ?^t, t^p or Visarga (27), which respectively become ^g, ^d,
^ d, ^b, or "^ r, before the terminations beginning with 3J bh.

. The voc. sing. m. f. is the same as the nom, except in stems
in (derivative)"^reC.as (83).

b. Forms of the nom. voc. ace. plur. neut. are extremely rare
in this declension; e.g. from ^TT^-bhaj, 'sharing/
-bhanji; nom. sing.

But for practical reasons it appears preferable to begin with the con-
sonant declension, which adds the normal endixtga (71) without modifi-
cation ; while the wide deviation of the a-deolenaion from these endings
is apt to confuse the beginner.

CHAPTER IV

CONJUGATION

121. Sanskrit verbs are inflected with either active or middle
terminations. The active voice is called Faraftmai-pada,
i.e. transitive (lit. 'word for another'). The middle voice is
called Atmane-pada, i.e. reflexive (lit. 'word for oneself).
The passive takes the terminations of the Atmanepada ; with
which it coincides except in the present and imperfect (where
it forms ite stem with the suffix ^ ya), and in the third sing,
aorist.

tf. The Sanskrit verb has in each tense and mood three
numbers, Singular, Dual, and Plural, with three persons in each.

IV 124 CONJUGATION 83

122. There are in Sanskrit five tense* conjugated in the
indicative : I. Present (with imperative and optative moods) ;
2. Imperfect; 3. Perfect; 4. Aorjst (with a kind of optative
called Benedictive or Precative); 5. Future (with the Conditional,
a kind of past future).

There are also participles connected with three of these tenses,
present, perfect, and future ; and one infinitive (167), a verbal
noun unconnected with any tense.

a. Classical Sanskrit has neither a pluperfect tense nor a sub-
junctive mood (excepting the survivals of it in the first persons
imperative); nor has it an imperative or a proper optative of any
tense except the present There are, therefore, fa* fewer verbal
forms in non-Vedic Sanskrit than in Greek.

The Present System.

123. While the perfect, aorist, and future tenses add the
terminations directly (or after inserting a sibilant) to the root,
the present group (the present with its moods and the imperfect)
forms a special stem, which is made in ten different ways. Hence
the native Sanskrit grammarians have divided all verbs into ten
classes. The tenth class, which is really a secondary formation,
retains its present stem in nearly all the other verbal forms also,
as do the secondary verbs generally (causatives, desideratives,
intensives, denominatives).

The Ten Classes.

124. The ten classes are divided into two conjugations.
In the first, comprising the first, fourth, sixth, and tenth classes,
the present stem ends in ^a, and remains unchanged throughout.

In the second conjugation, which comprises all the re-
maining classes, the terminations are added directly to the filial

of the root or GO the suffixes ^5 n, *[ nu,TT na, (ift nl, ^ n),and the
present 0tem ia changeable,, being either rbrong 1 or weak.

A. First Conjugation.

125. i. The fir*t or BhfL class adds V a to the last letter of
the root, which, heing accented, takes Guna of a final vowel
(short or long) and of a short medial vowel followed by one
consonant; e.g. ^ hhu, 'be/ forms the present stem 3f|
btav-a; ip^hudh, 'know' : Wt^I b6dh-a.

a. The gixth or Tnd class adds an accented ^ a to the root,
which (heing unaccented) has no Guna. Before this V d final
^C f changes to ^ ir. Thus ifj tud, ' strike ' : 1ft tud-d :
* kf, 'scatter* : f5^ kir-a\

3. The fourth or Div class adds ^T ya to the last letter of
the root, which is accented (hut the weak form in some case?
assumed by the root points to the 1J ya having originally been
accented); e.g. Iff nah, 'bind': ^HS niih-ya; f%*^ div,
' P^y ' : ^* div-ya "(133 B).

4. The tenth or Cnr class adds the suffix ^R ^ya, before
which a final vowel takes Vrddhi, but a short medial vowel
followed by one consonant takes Guna; e.g. ^ cur, Steal* :
^K*< oor-iya. Short medial ^ a followed by one consonant is in
most cases lengthened; e.g. ^kam : ^TRRI kam-aya/ desire. 1

B. Second Conjugation,

Et6. The strong forms are

3. tbe tbird person singular imperative active.
la tbeee forms the vowel of the root or the affix, being
is strengthened ; while in the weak forms it becomes
because the terminations are accented.

IV 127 SECOND CONJUGATION 85

*. In the ninth class the accented form of the affix is TT na,
the unaccented ^" m or *^n; in the seventh they are respec-
tively *! n& and ^n.

la?, i. The second or Ad class adds the terminations directly
to the root, -which in the strong forms takes Guna if possible
(* a 5 i) j e. g. XT^ ad, ' eat * : sing. r. 'WftT a*d-mi, 2. 1 Vfer 4t-si,
3- ^ftr^ti; TiVgo': T^W, ltfo<<- 9 i, TCfif^tij ftfflih,
'lick ' : %% leTi-mi, 3rflT lelc^d (690), %ft l-Qbi (69 5). "*

* This and the seventh are the most difficult classes to con-
jugate, because terminations beginning with various consonants
come into contact with the final consonants of roots, and conse-
quently many rules of internal Sandhi have to be applied.

a. The third or XTn class adds the terminations directly to
the reduplicated root, which in the strong forms takes Guna if
possible; e.g. JThu,' sacrifice': ^tfc ju-L6-mi, ' I sacrifice';
<3<l**i: ju-hu-mfit, ' we sacrifice.*

*. The intensives conjugated in the active (i 72) follow this class.

3. The evaiitli. or Rudh class adds the terminations directly
to the final consonant, before -which f na" is inserted in the
strong, and *^n in the weak forms; e.g.^B^yuj, 'join': Jlfi(H
yu-na-j-mi; |^4i: yufij-ma^.

4. The fifth, or 8n claws adds ^J nu, which takes Guna in the
strong forms, to the root; e. g. ^ *Uf ' press out * : 4|f1fa su-
n6-mi; <gji; su-nn^ma^L.

5. The eiffh.tli or Tan, class adds ^3 u, which takes Guna in
the strong forms, to the root ; e. g. 3!*^ tan, ' stretch ' * fll1fil
tan-d-mi; n^*l* tan-u-ma^.

*. All the (seven) verbs of this class end in *^n, except V kr,
do /which has an irregular present stem : ^pftf^Tk ftr-<5-mi( 134 E).

6. The ninth or Kri class adds to the root TT na in the
strong foims, but in the weak *ft ni Lefore consonants and ^n

86 CONJUGATION IV 128

before voxels; e.g. *t kri, 'buy': *lMJ|f^ kri-na-mi; pi. I.
3. fnl<(|An kri-n-nti.

The Augment.

128. The imperfect, the aorist, and the conditional prefix to
the root accented ^ & as their augment, which, form* Vyddhi
with an initial vowel (23); e.g. f^budh, 'know ' : 3. sing.
imperf.^Rt^-bodha-t; ^T und/wet': ^ff^f u-n-t-ti,
'he wets, 5 ^St*T^ 4u-na-t, 'he wetted '; ^g r, 'go': 1 *raff?T
rcchtfti, 'he goes,' Tfff^B^ arcchat, 'he went.'

a. The augment is dropped in the imperf. and aorist (which are
then used imperatively) after the prohibitive particle *TT ma (
TT *iJTcvor ITt^ mS karsit or karot, ' may he not do it.'

Reduplication.

129. Five verbal formations take reduplication in Sanskrit :
the present stem of the third conjugational class, the perfect,
one kind of aorist, the desiderative, and the intensive. Each of
these five has certain peculiarities, which must be treated separately
under tin special rule* of reduplication (130, 135, 149, 170, 173).
Common to all are the following.

General Bides of Reduplication.

i. The fitst syllable of a root (i.e. that portion of it which end*
with a vowel) is reduplicated; e.g. ^budh : ^5^bu-budh.
. Aspinted letters are represented by the corresponding unas-
cat'-; fl|f3f^ bi-bhid; V dhu, 'shake ':

3. Gnttnrala are represented by tiie corresponding palatals,
f h by *U;-e.g. %Hkam f '

IV I3r BEDUPLICATION 87

4. If the root begins with more than one consonant, the first
only is reduplicated; e. g. $^ krus', 'shout': fj^^cu-krus;
f^t^ksip, 'throw': f%rfan,ci-ksip.

5. If a root begins with a sibilant followed by a hard consonant,
the latter is reduplicated; e.g. ^ stu, 'praise': IJjT tu-sju (67);

, ' stand ' : 7WT ta-sthS ; ^ scut, ' drip ' : ^^ cu-s'cut ;
skand,' leap ': ^ra^ca-skand. But ^fsmr,' remember':
ea-smr (m is soft).

6. If the radical vowel, whether final or medial, is long, it is
shortened in the reduplicative syllable ; e. g. TT^ g5h, " enter ' :

ja-gSh; jft kri, 'buy': ft^l ci-kri; fT^kuj, 'hum':

7. If the radical (not final) vowel is If e, it is represented by
^i; if^Uto or^au, by^f u; e.g. %^6ev, 'worship*: ftft^
si-ev (67); Vt^| dhauk> 'approach ' : wtt^ du4hauk.

8, Boats which, according to the native Sanskrit grammarians,
end inlf e t \ ai.^lft' o are more conveniently stated to end in 5,
and are so treated in reduplication; e.g. % gai, 'sing/ 3. sing.
perfect ^Rt ja-gau (136, 4).

Speoial Bnle of BaduplicatioB for the Third dan.
130. ^B r and ^H f are represented in reduplication by ^ i;
If bhr, ' bear' : fSpffif b-bhar-ti ; ^ W, 'fill ' : fSnifif p-par-ti.

131. The following table gives the terminatons r which are on
the whole the same for all verbs, of the present system. The chief
difference is in the optative, which is characterized by H e in the
first, and ^TTya and^i in the second conjugation. It will pi-event
confusion to remember that the present indicative has the primary
(-mi, -si, -ti, &c.), while the imperative (with some variation*)

88 CONJUGATION IV 131

and the optative, as well as the imperfect, have the secondary
terminations (-no, -s, -t, &c.). Of the other tenses, the future takes
the primary, and the aorist, with the benedictive and the con-
ditional, takes the secondary terminations ; while the perfect takes
in the active (with many variations) the secondary, and in the
middle, the primary endings.

In order to understand clearly the difference between the two
conjugations, the following points should be noted. In the first
ora-conjugati02r(as in the a-declension),the accent is never
on the terminations, but always on the same syllable of the
tern (the root in the first and fourth, the affix in the sixth and
tenth classes), which therefore remains unchanged. On the other
hand, in the second conjugation (as in the declension of change-
able stems) the accent falls on the strong stem, which is shortened
in the weak forms by the shifting of the accent to the termina-
tions. In the second conjugation, therefore, the ter-
mination* are accented except in the strong forms (126) of
the present. The same would apply to the imperfect, were it
without an augment (128),

i. The final ^ a of the first conjugation is lengthened before
^m or ^v; e.g.

90 CONJUGATION IV 13*

a. Terminations beginning with vowels should be added in
the first conjugation after dropping the final V a; e.g. ^f4*<,
a*-bhav-am, WlT^ bhav-et.

3. The terminations of the first conjugation, given in the above
table as beginning with 1ge, really consist of the final ^a of the
base + li; but on practical grounds it is preferable to assume
that they begin with T[ e.

4. Verbs of the first conjugation take no termination in the
2. sing, imperat. Par. (being exactly parallel with the vocative
singular of the a-decleasion). Those of the second take f\T dhi
(Gk. 61) after consonants, f|[ hi after vowels. But

*. -in the ninth class ^Pf ana takes the place of fw dhi;
e.g. *TWTW math-Sna* 1 (but ^Fhtftff kri-ni-hf).

b. ff hi is dropped in the fifth and eighth classes, if the ^ u is

preceded by a single consonant; e.g. ^[ su-nti (but
^Iflfi ap-nu-hi).

c. in the third class JT hu adds fV dbi (instead of ff hi) after

a vowel : ^FfV ju-hu-dhi

5. Verbs of the third class and some other reduplicated present
stems (cp. 134 A 4, B; 172) drop the ^n of the 3. plur. pres.
indie, and imperat Par. In the JLtnu the whole Meond con-

as fof vid, 'know,' and f^dvis, -hate,' may do so. Before

The Perfect Tense.

I35* This tense is formed either by reduplication or peri-
phrafltically. Boots follow the former method, derivative verbs
(chiefly causatives) the latter. There are also four roots with a
prosodically long initial vowel (140 a t i) which take the peri-
phrastic perfect.

Bides of Reduplication.

i. ^B r, ^[ r, V 1 are represented by ^f a in the reduplicative

syllable; e. g. W kr, ' do f ': -qi< ca-kar-a; tf, ' cross ' :
ta-tar-a; jjnklp, 'be able':

2. Initial^ a or ^ffS becomes ^BTa; e.g. 1 ^^ ad, 'eat ': 4
ad-a; "^H^ap, * obtain*: UIH ap-a (cp. 1400, i).

3. Roots beginning with ^ i contract ^ i -f ^ i to f^I; but if
the radical ^ i takes Guna orYrddki, ^y is inserted between the
rednplicative syllable and the root; e.g. ^^if, 'desire/ 3, pi.
^g: ff-tqt (for i-is-ufc), but i. sg. f^f i-y-eVa.

4. Eoots beginning with or containing ^ ya or ^ va, and liable
to SamprasSrana (cp. 137, 2c), reduplicate with ^ i and ^ nr

136* The angular perfect active is strong, like the

the remaining forms are weak, the terminations being accented.

^ bhr, "hear/ ^ vr, 'choose/ 7 sr, 'go/ where it must be
omitted. The 3. pi. Atm. reiains the ^i even in these verbs.
In 2. sg. Par. it is omitted by many other verbs also, and is
optional in verbs ending in "^T 5, as well as in most of those
ending in ^ i, 1^ i, ^ n.

1 In these two dual forma ^F ur haa been borrowed from the 3. pi.,
the two endings V?^ thur and 7T^ tor corresponding to the a. 3, da. pros.
^thfts and Tf^tas.

1 This ^ i was in origin probably the reduced form of the final TflT a of
roota like ^T da, ' give/ and became the starting-point of ^ i as a con-
necting vowel in other verbs.

'hout the singular ; e. g. ^fH^ is, ' wish * : lji\ *~Y~^
idh,'wake': ^J*ftbu-b6dh ; but^ft^jiv, 'live':

tnal vowels take Vrddhi or Guna in the first person singular,

in the second, Vyddhi only in the third; e.g. ^ i, 'go* :

Periphrastic Perfect.

140. The verbs which cannot reduplicate, form their perfect
by making an abstract feminine noun in the accusative, ^U*< am,
and adding to this the reduplicated perfect of JK kr, ' do/ ^T^. as,
'be, 1 or 3bhu t 'be/ This formation started. with the employ-
ment of the transitive verb ST kr, e.g. *l*1*li ^BTT gamayarn
cakara/he did going/ Le/he did go'; but in classical Sanskrit
the periphrastic perfect is usually formed with ^if^ae, the other
two auxiliaries occurring only exceptionally. The periphrastic
perfect is almost entirely limited to the derivative verbs in ^RT
aya (tenth class, causatives, and denominatives) ; e. g. Wl*^r
*?TO bodbayam asa, 'he awakened*' Hardly any examples of
desideratives or intensives are found in this tense.

Aorist.

141. There are two kinds of aorists in Sanskrit, as in Greek.
The First is formed by inserting a sibilant between root and
termination, the Second by adding the terminations to the root
with or without the connecting vowel ^( a. Both aorists take the
augment (which is accented) and the secondary terminations.
There are four forms of the First Aorist, and three of the Second.

Pirst AoriBt.

B. The first form is made by adding to the augmented root
the suffix ^1 ia, andis inflected like an imperfect of the first
conjugation (-bhava-t) except in the Atm. x. sg., 2. 3. dual
(where it follows the hnpf. of f?^dvis). It is taken by only a
few roots ending in ^s and J h (which become ^ k before ^s:
63 6 ; 69 a), and containing the vowels ^ i, ^ u, or ^U r, which
remain unchanged; e.g. f^^ dis, 'point': 3. eg. ^if^^v.
a-dik-^a-t. This form corresponds to /the Greek First Aorist

^s with the connecting vowel ^i (which changes it to TG^B, 67).
The endings of the 2. 3. sg. are %^ is, ij^it (for is-s, is-t; cp.
28 ; 150). Hardly anyParasmaipada forms of is-aorists from roots
ending in vowels occur in classical Sanskrit, but one such, formed
from "3,pu, ' purify/ in the older language and inflected in loth
voices, may be taken as a paradigm for the active as well as the
middle :

vowel *f a.

The first form is like an imperfect of the sixth class, the
stem being formed by adding ^ a to the unmodified root. It
corresponds to the Second Aoriat of the first conjugation in
Greek (?-rwr-o-i>): The inflexion of this aorist formed from

a peculiar reduplication of the root, to vhich ^ a is attached.
The inflexion is like that of an imperfect of the first conjugation.
Upwards of forty verbs take this aorist in classical Sanskrit.

Special Rules of Reduplication.

i. ^T a, ^KT a, ^S r, ^ r, ^ 1 are represented in the reduplica-

" tive syllable by ^ i.

a. The vowel of the reduplicative syllable, unless already long
by position, is lengthened.

almost invariably u v: S-ji-jan-at, a-ji-grSh-at, ft-sJi-sri-y-at,
a-vi-vis'-at, a-di-dj?s-at, S-dl-dar-at (from df), S-du-dru-v-at, S-mu-

Benedictive or Precative.

150, The active of this form ia very rare, while the middle does
not occur at all, in classical Sanskrit. It is an aorist optative,
being formed by adding the terminations directly to the root.
The terminations are those of the optative of the second conjuga-
tion, with ^e inserted between ^TT ya and the personal inflexions.
The endings of the 2. 3. sing, are ^TR3t.yas (for ya-s-s), <||^yat
(for yfis=y5-&-t : cp. 28 ; 145), being thus identical in form with
those of the optative present (131). The Benedictive Far. of '

IV i$i SIMPLE FUTURE 127

Simple Future.

151* The future is formed by adding to the stem the suffix
"51 sya*, or, with the connecting vowel ^ i f T^( i-?y, and is
inflected like a present of the first conjugation (bh&v&mi). Most
roots ending in vowels (except ^H r) take ^T sya, more than half
of those ending in consonants take ^tZf isya. Derivative vprbs
regularly take the latter.

a. Final vowels andprosodically short medial vowels take Gunaj
e.g. ^ i, 'go': Hmffl e-sya-ti; ^i^budh, 'awake' :
bhot-sya-te (55); ^I^rudh, 'hinder* : W fn rot-sya-ti ; i
' do ' : qifvaqf?! kar-i-syd-ti; ^bhu, ' be* : ^fq^fn bhav-i-syi-ti.

i* Several roots take both forms; e. g. <^[ dah, 'burn* :
^qjlfn dhak-sya-ti (55) and ^[Tf *affl dah-i-sya-ti.

2. Derivatives in 1W aya retain their present stem, dropping
only their final TJ a; e. g. tHv^ cor-aya, c steal * :
coray-i-sya-ti.

nom. sing, is used in all forms except the third persons dual and
plural, in which the nom. dual and plural appear. The auxiliary
is omitted in the third persons. The Parasmaipada only is found
in use. About forty verbs, chiefly in the Epics, take thia form
of the future.

. ?T tr is added, with or without ^ i, to the gunated root,
much in the same way as ^f sya. But roots ending in ^S r, as
well as ^ gam, 'go/ and f^han, 'kill/ reject the connecting

153. This is a past tense of the future, meaning ' would have/
It is formed by turning the simple future into a past, which is
inflected like an imperfect of the first conjugation (abhavam).
Extremely rare even in the Par., it is still rarer in the Itm. It
is to be met with chiefly in the Epics and the drama's. Examples
are: from $bhu,' be': (fat.Hpim ifiTbhav-i-syami) -wfimn^

nah-ya-te, 'he is bound.'

130 PASSIVE IV 154

Pefore adding ^T ya, the root undergoes the following changes :

1. Final ^JJT a (or diphthongs : 129, 8) remains or becomes X **
* g- W jffa, ' know ' : TTPPf jfia-y^-te - 9 tTT pB, 'drink * :
pz-yd~te; TT gS, 'sing* (or Sfr gai) : H^ gi-y-te.

2. Final ^ i and ^ u are lengthened ; e.g. ^ i, 'go ' :
I-ya-te; t% ci, 'collect': ^VWft ci-y-te; ^BTsini, 'hear*:
srii-y^-te.

3. Final ^J r after a single consonant becomes f^ ri, after two
consonants, TT^ ar ; e. g. W kr, ' do ' : falft kri-y4-te ; but
^smr, * remember *: ^cfft smar-yi-te.

4. Final ^E F is changed to f^ir aud, after labials, to
e.g. ^1 kf, 'scatter 9 : *$\*$\ kir-yi-te; ^T str, ' strewr* :
sfir-y^-te; but tj pf, 'fill* (the only example): TJjfa pur-y4-te.

5. Roots ending in a consonant preceded by a nasal, lose the
nasal; e.g. *T^bhaflj, 'break' : 9TOft bhaj-y-te.

6. Boots liable to Samprasarana (137, 2c) take it; e.g.
yaj : f^ ij-y^-te ; ^ vac : *3*Bft uc-ya-te ; H^ grab :
grh-y^te ; ^f^svap : ^fl{ sup-yA-te.

7. Derivative verbs in 1R aya drop the suffix while retaining
the strong radical vowel ; e. g. ^<ej cor-aya : ^H?t cor-yate ;
WT^ kfir^ya (from W kr): ^m5^ kar-ya-te.

The passive of ^bhu, *be,' would be inflected as follows :

Aorist Passive.

155. The Atm. of this tease supplies the place of the passive
except in the third person singular, which has a special
form. Here the augmented root adds the suffix ^ i, which re-
quires Vrddhi of a final vowel and Guna of a medial vowel (but
^t a is lengthened) followed hy a single consonant ; after ^5ff a,
a ^y is inserted ; e. g. ^ sru, ' hear ' : ^^WTfa d-srav-i ; "8? kr
'do ' : ^WSTft ^-kSr-i ; T^ pa d, - walk ' : V
vis/enter^ V5T5|a-ves-i; g^muc/ release':

PABTICIPLES, QEBU1TDS, AND INFINITIVE.
Z. Active Participles.

156* The stem of the present and future participles Par. is
formed with the suffix ^at (cp. 85). The strong atem is obtained
by dropping the ^ i of the 3. pi, pres. and fut. Par. : hence
verbs of tie third dus and other reduplicated verbs
( X 34 A, 4) have no nasal in the strong stem of the pres. part.,
while the fat. part, always has ^RT^ant as its strong stem.
Thus:

sdnt (3. pi. tll*h s-Ant-i) ; that of ^^han, ' slay/ is ^1?
(3- pi- "wf^ ghn-ant-i) - 1 .

157. The reduplicated perfect participle (89) is most easily
formed by taking the 3. pi. Par., with which the weakest stem
is practically identical (only that "^ r 2 must be changed to ^s
which, being always followed by a vowel, appears as ^s). In
forming the middle and strong stems from this, the final vowel
of the root (changed to a semivowel before ^^ us) must be
restored, and in verbs which, after dropping <3^ ur, become mono-
syllabic, f[ i must be inserted :

II. Atmanepada and Passive Participles,

158. Present and Future Participles Atmanepada and
Passive are formed with the suffix UTT mana, which is added
after dropping the 3. pi. termination %-nte: A to. pres. WRIT
bhva-mana, fut* *i ft uq*t \ <jj bhavifyd-mana ; Pass.pres.^WTf

& The second conjugation takes ^JTT an4 in the pres.
Atm. : ^pfH jtihv-ana (but fut. ^ft^^I^ hosyd-mana, Pass.
pres. ^*im huyd-mana). The root "^fP^as, 'sit,' takes the
anomalous suffix f^f Ina: ^fre^T as-Tna, 'sitting.*

159- The Perfect Atm. would be formed vith the suffix
^1*1 Sn^, which is added after dropping the termination ^ ire
of the 3. pi. Atm. ; e. g. ^f^ babhuv-ir^ : f^TR babhuv-Siui.
It hag, however, become obsolete, only a few instances of it sur-
viving in the sense of substantives or adjectives; e.g.
anujjc-ana* (from ann-vac, 'having repeated '==) 'learned.'

160. The^ Perfect Passive Participle is formed with the
suffixes T na and the much commoner 7T ta.

i. "*r na, which is taken by primary verbs only, and is attached
immediately to the root, is used by a good many roots ending in
the long vowels W a, ^1, ^ u, ^ r (which becomes t^ Tr or
^Jur) and especially in td ;_*. g, ^fT mla/ fade 5 : ^TR mla-na;
iftn/eKng': ^NlT-na; ^lfi,'cut': ^f lu-na ; Wstr/strew':

mm-na or *Jrt nut-ta*; ftjl vin-na or ft^f vit-ta".

b. The final of a few roots in ^ j that take T na reverts to the
original guttural ; e. g. H^bhanj, 'break': Wf bhag-na; 3J^T V
bhuj, * bend ' : *pT bhug-na ; JFHT^majj, ' sink ' : ?W mag-na ;
f^f^ vij, ' tremble ' : f^ vig-na.

a. 7\ ta is attached to the root with or without the connecting
vowel ^ i ; e. g. fSfTT ji-ta", ' conquered ' ; tjf?T?f pat-i-ta, 4 fallen.'
When attaching the suffix immediately, the root has a tendency
to be weakened in the usual way : verbs liable to Samprasarana
(137, 2c) take it, W a is in some cases weakened to f^i or even
^ i, a final nasal is in several cases lost T ; e. g. ^I^yaj, ' sacrifice * :
^ is-t (63 a ; 64) ; ^ vac, ' speak * : ^Tff uk-t^ ; ^^ svap,
1 sleep ' : *JH sup-ti ; HT pa, ' drink ' : 1fa( pl-t ; WT stha,
'stand': f^TT sthi-t^ (Gk. <rra-r<f-ff, Lat. sta-tu-s) ; ^ gam,
' go ' : *Rf g-** ; f^. tan, ' kill ' : f?f ha-t^C.

*. VT dha, 'put,' is doubly weakened: f^T hi-ta* (for dhi-tit).

6. ^T d5, give,' uses its weak present stem <[< dad : ^-rl
dat-ta. After certain verbal prepositions ^f datt^C is weakened
to ^T t-ta; e.g. ^irfr a-tta (for a-datta), 'taken.'

c. Severalroots inTR^am, instead of dropping the nasal, retain
it, and lengthen the preceding vowel ; e. g. 3fi*^ kara, * love 9 :
cfil^l kan-ta.

d. ^9(^ dhvan, 'sound,' follows the analogy of 3R^kam, &c. :
^TTfT dhv3n-t^ ; while a few others in ^IP^ an use a collateral
form of the root in W a; e.g. Tl^khan, 'dig' : *Tffi kha-t;
^*JJan, 'be born * : 3TT?T ja-tdi.

3. ^TT i-ta is taken by a considerable number of primary verbs
which end either in double consonants or in single consonants

1 On the peculiar Sandhi of roots ending in W h, cp. 69.

Ip-sa, desiderative of "UP^ap, ' obtain ' : t/Ujfl ips-i-td ;
kar-aya, causative of W kr/do * : fc*(f\H kSr-i-ta.

a. The full form of the root is usually retained before ^j?f ita ;
but ^T^ vad, ' speak,' and IT^vas, 'dwell,' usually take Saxnpra-
sarana : ^fc^fl ud-i-ta, >dftfl us-i-ta ; -while I|^ grah, * seize,*
always takes Samprasarapa and the connecting vowel f^i instead
of i; i : Vjftll grh-I-ti (cp. 151 b 4).

161. By adding the possessive suffix ^fT^vat to the past pass,
part., a new form of very common occurrence is made, which, has
the value of a perfect active participle ; e. g. "BHT ky-ta, * done ' :
onsct^ krta-vat, * having done. 3 It is generally used as a finite
vert, the copula being omitted; e.g. ^BT ?fc^ ttfl41*l. sa tat

'she (has) done it' (cp. 89, foot-note 3).

162. The Fatnre Passive Participle is formed with the
suffixes ^f ya, 7TO tav-ya, and irffa an-iya. They correspond
in sense to the Lat. gerundive in -ndus.

i. Before the suffix ^T ya

*. final ^(T a becomes TJ e ; e. g. ^T da : ^ d6-ya, ' to be
given.*

b. final ^ i, ^i take Guna,^u, ^T uGunaorVrddhi.^ffr, "
Vrddhi ; e. g. f% ji : %*J je-ya, 'to be conquered ' ; ^ nl :
ne-ya, * to be led * ; ^ hu : ^ hav-ytf, * to be offered ' ; 3 bliu :
TW bhav-ya, 'about to be' ; W kr : ^SpJ kar-ya, ' to be done.'

c. medial ^ i and ^ u followed by a single consonant generally
take Guna, ^J a is sometimes lengthened, ^g r remains un-
changed; e. g. f5?f bhM : %^ bhed-ya, ' to be split ;

IV 164 FUTURE PASSIVE PABTICIPLE 137

yoj-ya, * to be joined ' ; ipj s'ak : ^ppf s'ak-ya, ' possible ' ;
but ^R vac: ||**| vac-ya, 'to be said*; ^f^drd: ^ff dfs-ya,
1 to be seen.'

a. Before the suffix 7^ tavya, the root, if possible, takes
China, being treated in the same way as before the 7TT ta of the
periphrasticfut.(iS2); f^Tji: %7T^je-tavya,'tobe conquered';
^bhu : *lfmee| bhav-i-tavyk, ' that must be ' 5 *R^ gam : TfT^T
gan-tavyfc, ' to be gone * ; <^T da : ^ldty da-tavya, 'to be given* ;
f*f<^ bhid: Jl^cq bhet-iavya, *to be split.'

3. Before the suffix ^H4 an-iya, the root takes Gima;
e.g. f^T ci: *qiTlx4 cay-anlya, 'to be gathered'; ^ bhu :
*i^^lf bhav-amya, ' that must be ' ; W kr : ^^1^^ kar-aiilya,
'to be done'; ^^lubh: ^n*tT\q lobh-auiya, 'to be desired.'

. The ^RI aya of the causative is rejected; *liq*4 bhav-aya :
bhav-anlya, ' to be supposed.'

III. Gerund or Indeclinable Participle.

163. The suffix used for forming this participle from the
simple verb is 3TT tv-a (an old instrumental singular of a stem
in TJ tu). It is most easily attached to the root by being sub-
stituted for the 7f t of the passive participle ; e. g. Wff kr-tri,
'done': BiflT kr-tva,' having done' ; HWuk-td,' spoken': <9r*ni
uk-tv5, 'having spoken'; 3f7f ga-ti, ' gone * : *TOT ga-tva/ having
gone.'

tf. The suffix of the causative, ^RI aya, is, however, retained :
^tf^fl cor-i-ta, ' stolen/ but -<t<n(WI cor-ay-i-tva, ' having
stolen.'

164. If the verb is compounded with a preposition it takes
^T ya instead of WT tv5 : from ^bhu, ' be,* ^?n bhii-tva, but

sain-bhu-ya; from T^vac, 'speak/ xjpenr iik-tva,but JTt^T

138 INDECLINABLE PARTICIPLE IV 165

prauc-ya; from ^ tf, 'cross/ ^14404 ava-tir-ya, 'having de-
scended '; from *? pf, 'fill,' 4Jlj^ sam-pur-ya.

a. The suffix of the causative, TRI aya, is retained (excepting
the final ^f a) before ^T ya if the radical vowel is short l ; e. g.
ti|t( sam-gam-ay-ya from tJl*t^ sam-gam-aya, ' cause to
assemble'; but fo*|l*5 vi-car-ya from fq-qii/bl vi-c5r-aya,
* consider.'

165. W tya is added, instead of ^T ya, to compound verbs
ending in a short vowel ; e. g. fa <fl I ji-t va, but ftftttl vi-jf-tya.

a. The analogy of these verbs is optionally followed by roots
ending in *^n or J^m, preceded by ^Sf a, which may drop the
nasal if it is dropped in the. perfect participle passive (r6o, 2) ;
e g. l^gam, ' go ' : -9U|< a-gam-ya or ^OTTST a-ga-tya (part,
TT ga-ta") ; T^nam, ' bend ' : Jj<q<f pra-nam-ya (65) or TRH9
pra-^ia-tya (part. "ifTf na-t) ; ?f^ man, * think ': ^R? -man-ya
or *rar -ma-tya (part. ITTf ma-t^) ; f^han, 'kill ' : ^T -han-ya
or fr -ha-lya (part. fTf ha-t^i) ; TT^tan, 'stretch':
-ta-ya (cp. 154 a r) or ^cfW -ta-tya (part. 7T7T t&-t&). But
kram, 'stride,' has only ?fiT -kram-ya (part. 4i|^1 kranta) ;
^khan, 'dig/ only ^TRI -kha-ya (part. *rRT kha-t4 ; cp.
154 a i).

166. There is also a rare indeclinable participle in V^ am.
It is most easily formed by adding the suffix to that form which
the root assumes before the ^ i of the 3. sg. aor. passive (155) ;
e.g. ^ sru C*TOTft <t-srav-i, 'it was heard ') : ^TR^ sr5v-am,
'having heard.'

IV. Infinitive.

167. The infinitive (=Lat. supine) is formed by adding |J^
tn-m (originally the ace. sg. of a verbal noun) to the form which

1 Otherwise the gerunds of the Bimple and the causative verb would
b* identical.

TV 1 68 INDECLINABLE PARTICIPLE 139

the verb assumes before the TTTta of 1he periphrastic future (152),
or the 7f3l tavya (162, 2) of the future part. pass.; e.g. TjTT stha:
(Lat. sta-tum),' to stand'; *[\^budh:

bodh-i-tum, ' to awake ' ; ^bhu : *tfqQ*^ bh&v-i-tum, 'to be ' ;
W kr : ^4^kar-tum, ' to do*; ^J^drs^ 5^^d*4s-tum(i5i& i),
* to see ' ; ^^ vah : q'lj*^ vodhum (69 6), 'to carry ' ; ^T^ aah :
^ftjj*^ fiodJhum (69 &), ' to bear ' ; ^J^ cur : ^Tl^fag*!, coray-i-
tum, * to steal.'

DERIVATIVE VERBS.
I. Cansatives.

l68. This, the commonest class of derivative verbs, is formed
with the suffix ^RI aya in the same way as the tenth class (125, 4),
and is similarly inflected ; e. g. ^f\ nl, c lead ' : n<4^ nay-aya,
' cause to lead ' ; W kr, ' make ' : *KTT^T kar-ava, * cause to make ' ;
f^R[ vid, ' know ' : 7|^^ ved-^ya, ' cause to know * ; ^^ sad,
' sit * : *A\<$*4 sad-^ya, ' set. 1

a. Most of the verbs in ^ a insert ^p before the causative
suffix ; e. g. 3[T da, ' give ' : ^|l|i( da-p-aya ; ^TT stha, * stand ' :
^im sthS-p-aya.

6. The causative suffix is retained (as in the tenth class)
throughout the conjugation excepting the (reduplicated) aorist
(which is connected with the causative in sense only : cp. 149).

Irregularities.

i. IfT jfta, 'know,' 1WT gla, 'languish/ ^^T mla, 'fade,' ^TT
sna, * wash/ optionally shorten the radical vowel before ^TO paya :
UTTO jaa-p-aya or V^T jlia-p-aya, <fec.

a. A few roots ending in other vowels than^TT take tf^J paya :
f%T ji, ' conquer * : <*|M^ ja-paya, ' cause to win * ; ^i with
adhi, 'read ' : VUUMtl adhy-apaya, ' teach * ; ^ r, ' go ' :

140 DERIVATIVE VERBS IV 169

ar-paya, 'put'j ^ ruh, 'grow': OH< ro-paya, as well as
^tfT roh-aya, 'raise.'

3. Y^hu, 'shake,* makes ^TO dhu-n-aya, 'shake'; ift prT,
'love': iffan 8 !' prT-n-aya, 'delight'; aft bhT, ' f ear * : tffaf^ bhi-
B-aya, as well as the regular *f(^(^ bhSy-aya, ' frighten/

4. ^P^labh, 'take,' inserts a nasal: t*lH<4 lambli-aya ; wliile
^^dams', 1 bite,' retains its nasal: ^*l*4 dams'-aya (cp. 133 A4).

5. ^^ han, ' kill/ substitutes the denominative stem ^u fl^I
gbata-ya, 'make slaughter of*'

II. Desideratives.

169. Desiderative stems are formed by adding to the root,
reduplicated in a peculiar way, the suffix ^ sa, directly in about
seventy cases, but with the connecting vowel ^ i (i. e. ftf i-sa) in
nearly thirty others. Thus ^ bhu, ' be,' becomes ^giSf bti-bhu-sa,
'desire to be/ but ^ft^jiv, 'live/ RUJjflfem ji-jlv-isa, 'desire
to live/ Desideratives are inflected like verbs of the first con-
jugation (p. 93).

The accent being on the reduplicative syllable, the root as a
rule remains unchanged, but

z. before fl'sa, final ^ i and^ u are lengthened, while ^Br and
^|? become 4^ ir or, after labials, ^P ur; e. g. fq 1 ci, ' gather 9 :
ci-ci-sa ; ^ stu, ' praise ' : ?J|Tq tu-stu-sa ; 7j tf , ' cross * :
ti-tir-sa; ^ mr, 'die': lfif$i mu-mur-sa.

2. before^ isa, final i; I, ^T u, ^f must take Guna; medial
V T takes it also, medial ^ u does so in one case, and medial ^ i
notatall ; e.g. *ft st, ' lie * : ftfllfa 1 ! si-say-isa ; T flfi ' crush * :
si-w-isa; 5?^ nrt/ 1 dance': finrfS^f ni-nart-iea ;
> 'beautify*: ^ftft^ su-sobh-isa ; f^ vid, ' know ' :
vi-vid-isa, as well as ftf^TO vi-vit-w. V

IV 171 DESIDERATIVES

Special Ruleg of Reduplication.

170. i. ^f a, ^IT S, and ^H ? are represented by ^ i in the
reduplicative syllable (but ^ ur, standing for ^S r after labials,
reduplicates with ^ u) ; e. g. ^f dah, ' burn * : f^TO di-dhak-sa
(55; 690); WTstha,* stand 'rf^Wti-stha-sa; ^^srj,' create':
flHCT si-srk-sa (63 a) ; *[ bhr, 'bear' : ^ft$ bu-bhur-sa.

a. The reduplication of roots containing ^ i and ^3 u is
normal je. g. f*P^ vis, * enter ' : fqfq^l vi-vik-sa (63 6) ;
budh, ' know f : ^Jc?T bu-bhut-sa (55) ; ^f duh, ' milk ':
du-dhuk-sa (gg ; 69 a); ^ ruh, Vow': ^^^ rti-ruk-a.
Thus all desideratives, except those from roots containing ^3 u,
^f u, reduplicate with ^ i-

9. The two or three roots with initial vowel that take the
desiderative reduplicate internally with ^ i: ^P 1 ^ as> *sat/
s-is-isa ; t^. 111 ?. ' see f : tt^t^ ic-iks-isa.

* obtain,* forms its stein by contraction : fTJJ ip-sa.
Irregularities.

171. i. *PHgam, 'go/ and ^p^han,' kill,' lengthen their radical
vowel; while ^f^man,' think,' lengthens the reduplicative vowel
as well : f^Rreji-gain-sa (beside R*fRi8| ji-gam-isa) ; foHt*
jf-gham-sa (66 A a) ; lfl4li41 mi-m&m-sa(66 A 2), 'reflect.*

a. ^n| gran, 'seize, 9 U^f prach, 'ask,' ^J^svap, 'sleep,' take
Sampra&arana: t^T^T ji-ghyk-sa (55; 69 a), ft^f^q pi-
prcch-isa, JJlpg su-sup-sa.

3. ?[T da, 'give/ >*T dha, 'place/ HT ma, 'measure/ ^ pad,
'go/ ^^rabh, 'graap/ ^R^labh, 'take/ ^S sak, 'be able/
contract the first two syllables of the stem in such a way as to
retain only the reduplication and one consonant of the root :
df-t-sa,f%TO dhi-t-sa (for df-dh(a)-sa : 55), f^WT mi-t-sa,
pi-t-sa, f^T^ ri-p-sa, Rim li-p-sa, fl^ si-k-sa.

142 INTBNSIVES IV 172

4. pfci, 4 gather,' f^Tji, 'conquer,' f^ ban, * kill' (cp.iyi,l),
revert to their original guttural : foqTU ci-ki-sa (beside fa^O^
ci-ci-sa); f%nfa ji-gi-sa ; foxU4l jf-gliani-sa.

5. ^n^ghas, 'eat/ changes its ^s to?^t: ji-ghat-sa, 'be
hungry. 5

III. Intensives (Frequentatives).

172. These -verbs are meant to convey an intensification or
frequent repetition of the action expressed by the simple root.
Only monosyllabic verbs beginning with a consonant are liable to
be turned into intensives. Hence neither verbs of the tenth class
nor roots like ^ff^ ad can form this derivative. About sixty roots
(less than half the number found in Vedic literature) take the
intensive in Sanskrit, but forms of it rarely occur.

The stem, which takes a peculiar kind of strong reduplication,
has two forms. The one adds the personal endings immediately
to the reduplicated stem (accented on the first syllable in strong
forms), being conjugated in the Parasmaipada only, like a verb
of the third or reduplicated class (p. 96) ; e. g. 'ft*ftf?f b6-bho-ti
from ^ bhu, ' be/ The other adds accented ^ ya, in the same
way as the passive (154), to the reduplicated stem, being conjugated
in the itmanepada only, like the passive (p. 130); e. g.
bo-bhu-y&-te from ^bhu.

*. The first intensive may optionally insert ^ I before termina-
tions beginning with consonants in the strong forms. Stems
ending in consonants do not take Guna either before this ^ I
or before terminations beginning with vowels; e.g. fSf^ vid,
'know'; ^%f|j v -ved-mi or ^f^^ftr v<$~vid-I-mi, ^Rf:
ve~vidmafr, imper. ^R^lfa v^-vid-Sni ; but J hu, * call ' : JJlft-
o-mi or *THg^f*| j6-hav-I-mi, qftgqifa j6-hav-Sni.

IV 174 IRREGULARITIES 143

Special Rules of Beduplication.

173. The reduplicative syllable takes Guna and lengthens
II a ; e. g, f%^nij , c cleanse * : *H%fof n6-nek- ti ; tft nl, ' lead ' :
*rtfafr ne-ni-yrf-te ; ^budh, ' know ' : dHflvTUTi bo-budh-i-ti ;
^ plu, 'float ': Ml^&lc) po-plu-ya-te ; 71^ tap, ' be hot ' : dM^Tl
ta-tap-ya-te.

A. Boots ending in ^SP^am repeat the nasal instead of lengthening
the vowel; e.g. ^gT^ kram, 'stride 1 : ^**ftf?l cai-kram-i-ti,

b. Roots containing ^H r insert f^i between the reduplication
and the root; e.g. ^ mr, 'die 5 : *i^*|R| mar-i-mar-ti ;
drJ, 'see*: <^0^^ dar-i-drs'-ya-te ; Jc^nrt,' dance':
nar-i-nrt-ya-te.

Irregularities.

174- *J gFi ' awake,' reduplicating with ^JT a (as from
gar), forms the stem TT*T ]"a-gr which has almost assumed the
character of a root (134 A 4) and is used as the only present stem
of the verb : 3. sg. ^iifr? ja-gar-ti, 3. pi. 4114(171 ja-gr-ati.

a. ^^ dah, 'burn,' and 3R^ jabh, ' snap at/ reduplicate with
a nasal, while ^T^ car, * move,' changes its radical vowel as well :
dan-dah-T-ti and ^^({j7) dan-dah-ya-te ;

jan-jabh-yd-te ;

b. T|^ pad, ' go, 9 besides reduplicating with a nasal, inserts 1^1
after it : i|TlM^|t) pa-n-i-pad-ya-te ; while j^T drS, * run/ redu-
plicates as if (173 b) it contained ^K r (only that the inserted
vowel is ^ i, which, however, is long by position) :
dAr-i-drS-ti (cp. 134 A 4).

144 DENOMINATIVES V 175

IV. Denominatives.

175- A large number of verbs, inflected like those of the
a-conjugation (p. 92), are derived, with the suffix *f y&, from
nouns, to which they express some such relation as 'be or act
like,' 'treat as/ 'make,' ' desire/ Before the suffix, final j; i and
^ u are lengthened ; ^T a often is also, but sometimes becomes
(cp. ifi4, i). Examples are : *HTO namae-yd, 'pay homage
) to> ; ^T*faf svSmi-ya, ' regard as a master' (svSmi) ;
gop5-yJ, 'be like a herdsman (go-p5) to/ ' protect >;
rajS-ya, 'play the king' (raja); gTRFT di-uma-ya, 'rank
as a tree 5 (drama) ; tpfal putn-ya, 'desire a son ' (putra),

. Denominatives which - have the causative accent (d-ya) are
reckoned verbs of the tenth class by the Hindu grammarians.
Such are H*RI mantitf-ya, 'take counsel' (mdntra), ^ftf*J
kirt^ya, 'celebrate^ (kirtf, 'fame'); ^? varn<-ya, 'depict/
1 describe ' (v&na, ' colour ) ; ^^ kathii-ya, c tell how/ ' relate '
(ka-tha-m/how?').

CHAPTER V

INDECLINABLE WORDS

Preposition! .

176. Owing to the cases having a more independent meaning
than m other Aryan languages, the number of prepositions is
qnrte small, and their use is very li mited in Sanskrit. They are

dele t^ P 8tp0 ; itionfl1 ' Md th 7 ^ not 'govern,' but only
define the general sense of. the case' to which they are added.

V 177 PREPOSITIONS 145

Of the dozen Vedic postpositions (also employed as verbal pre-
fixes) Sanskrit preserves only three in common use :

i. TT*J anu, 'after,' and Trf?! pra*ti (Gk, irpori), 'towards,'
' about,' after the accusative.

a. ^BT a, ' from ' or ' up to,' before the ablative.

a. The following are also occasionally met with, nearly always
following their case : ^rfSj abhi, ' against ' (ace.) ; 5^C pura"s,
' before"' (gen.) ; ^ffa a*dhi, ' over ' (loc.), **RT^ anta*r (Lat. inter,
Eng. under), ' within,* ' between * (loc., rarely gen.)*

Prepositional Adverbs.

1 177- The loss or obsolescence of the Vedic prepositions in the
true sense is compensated in Sanskrit by the increasing use of
ungenuine prepositions, ' that is to say, those which cannot be
attached to verbs and the origin of which from cases is still for
the most part clear. They are employed with all the oblique
cases except the locative and the dative ; with the latter case no
prepositional word is ever connected in Sanskrit. These adverbs
are given in the following list, grouped under the cases which
they accompany :

a. Ace. ^rcnj antara and il^lX^I tfntarena, ' between,'
' without ' ; the latter also * regarding ' ; f*lnm nikasa and
*M*ll samiyS, 'near' ; TrfWTt abhi-ta^, Mf<H: parf-ta^, ^rfo:
sarv^-talj, 4J4J41d! eamanta-tab, ' around ' ; b+i^dt ubhayi-ta^,
' on both sides of ' ; M^UI p^trena, ' beyond ' ; ^TTT^yavat, * during, '
'up to,' 'till' (alsoabl.).

b. Instr. ^5 &ahd, ^)4j4^sammj tn^^saka^a, ^llxS^sar-
dham, ' (together) with'; f^PTT vina/ without,' 'except' (also ace.,
rarely abl.).

c. , Abl. All the adverbs used with this case express some
modification of the fundamental ablative notion of separation :

L

146 PREPOSITIONAL ADVERBS

i. 'before' (of time): ^Nfaf arvak, IpO" puri,
UT*5 prak* fl. 'after* (of time) : *Hfl <*i an-antaram,
urdhvam, if<*\ param, TJ?7f: para-tat, M\fll ptfrena,
prabhrti (originally a fern, noun meaning ' commencement ')
3. f ontaide,' * out of ' : ^f^J banffe. 4. ' apart from ' : "^wi any-
tra ; ^H?t rte (also ace.).

d. Oen. Nearly all the adverbs used with, this case express
some relation in space : I. * before, 1 ' in presence of : "^% agre,
^TEnTt agra-tat, HT" : piua-tafc y^nnq, purds-tSt, THITV^C
praty-aksam, 4J^^H sam-aksam. a. 'after': M^J l<\ pascat.
3. 'beyond': M<fl: para-tab, M^l^paras-tSt. 4. 'above,'
' over/ 'upon ': ^H!\ upari (also ace.) and

the former also ' with regard to.* 5. ' below * : ^W adha^ and
^JV^fl l^adhas-tat With the gen. is also used W% krte, 'for
the sake of.*

178. The case-notions of the accusative C whither*), ablative
( whence 1 )* and locative ('where 1 ) are often paraphrased by
nouns meaning ' proximity/ such as ^rf5?RI antikrf, VJM4Q4
upa-kantha, f*WZ ni-kata, ?EnmT sa-kSs'a, ^frf^I sarn-nidhi,
**Th sam-ipa, tfRJ parsvi (*side'). In the ace, they mean
'towards,' 'to/ 'near'; in the abL, 'from*; and in the loc.,
' near,' 'in the presence of : in each case governing the genitive.
For example: ^nfr^f^rt *T^E 'go to the king';
4 he withdrew from Baghu ' ;

'beside me/ 'near me 1 ; TT^T: ^f^ 'W TH^: 'they
praised Nala in her presence.'

CHAPTER VI

NOMINAL STEM FORMATION AND COMPOUNDS
A. Vominal Sterna.

182. Declinable stems, though they often consist of the bare
rc*>t (either verbal or pronominal), are chiefly formed by means
of suffixes added to roots. These mvSLxea are of two kinds :
primary, or those added directly to roots (which may be com-
pounded with verbal prefixes) ; secondary, or those added to
stems already ending in a suffix.

x. Primary derivatives as a rule show the root in its strong
form ; e. g. %^ vd-a, ' knowledge * (fo^[ ' know '). In meaning
they may be divided into the two classes of abstract action nouns
(cognate in sense to infinitives) and concrete agent nouns (cognate
in sense to participles) used as adjectives or substantives ; e. g.
JlfTf ma-tfc f. 'thought' (^^ man, ' think '); ^fa yodh-a, m.
' fighter' Ogt^yudh, ' fight '), Other meanings are only modifica-
tions of these two. Thus abstract substantives often acquire a
concrete sense ; e. g. *RR nay-ana, n. ' leading ' comes to mean
4 eye ' (the organ that leads).

l6o PBIMABY NOMINAL SUFFIXES VI 182

*. When the bare root is used as a declinable stem, it usually
remains unchanged; e.g. fi^dvfs, m. (hater) 'enemy 9 (80);
^pi^ytidh, f. 'fight,' m. 'fighter.' Many of these stems are used
only at the end of compounds; e.g. ^g -duh, 'milking' (81),
Boots ending in 1 9(T a are shortened to ^T a, and those in ^ i,
^ u, or ^& r are always modified hy adding a ?^t : these sterns
are oiily used as the last members of compounds; e.g.
su-kr-t, 'doing well* (cp. 187 b).

b. Several primary nominal suffixes connected with the verbal
system have already been sufficiently dealt with, viz. those of
the present and future participles: 1 lR^at (85; 156), ^fPf ana
and JTPT mana (158); of the perfect: TRi^vams (89; 157); of
the past passive participle (i 60) : 7f ta and "f na; of the gerundive :
^(*lW an-Tya 1 , Tfc^ 1 tav-ya 2 , and ^T ya (162). The formation
of stems to which the primary suffixes of the comparative and
superlative, f^TR^ Tyains and ^ istha, are added has also been
explained (88; 103, 2). Of the rest, the following, in alphabetical
order, are the most usual and important :

^ a s s ubstanti ves and adjectives ; e . g. ^nt sa*rg-a, m . - creation f
j t ^emit*); ^Sf megh-i, m. 'cloud' (lit. 'discharger':
mih); ifR bhag-^C, m. 'share' (^T^hhaj, 'divide') ; fTRT
priy-it, ' pleasing,' ' dear * (ift prl, ' please *). The substantives are
almost exclusively masc. j but "**! yug-tf, n. ' yoke 1 (Gk. fvy-o-v,
Lat. yug-u-m).

^P^an: masc. agent nouns and a few defective neuter stems;
e.g. TT^raj-an, m. 'ruler,' 'king' (90, i); ^TflL ah-an, n.
'day' (91, 2).

* The Utter part, ^ iya and ^ ya, of thee two suffixe* is secondary
(i8a, a), but the whole IB employed as a primary suffix (i6a, 3).

* The firri part of *T^ tav-ya ig probably derived from the old infinitive
ending ?|% tave (App.III, 135).

183. The above lists practically supply the rules of gender
for the Sanskrit noun. These may be summarized as followR.

Speaking generally, all stems ending in the long vowels ^ff a,
I^T, 5Bf u, are feminine; stems ending in ^ a, ?^t, *^n, may be

GENDER VI 184

masculine or neuter; stems ending in ^ i or ^ u may be of any
gender.

a. Feminine are all stems formed with the suffixes ^HT a, v *
^F u, ?TT t5, TT tra, f*T ti.

A. Neuter are all stems formed with the suffixes ^tva, ^ru,
J^is, ^5^ us, and (unless the name of a living being) "V^a^
and (unless meaning an agent) T ^J1 ana.

c. Masculine are (in so far as tbey are not used adjectivally)
all stems formed with the suffixes 7f ta, ^ va, ^Jyu; **nV^
ayana, f[ i (patronymic), "8R ka, H bha, ^T la.

cf. Masc. or fern, are stems formed with the suffixes f^T ni,
^ nu, fi? mi, ^ tr; also stems formed with the bare root (neuter
also if adjectives).

e. Masc. or neut. are stems formed with the suffixes ^T a f
^ tha, T na, ^T una, H ma, ^t ya, "^ ra, WT tya, ^f tra, 3 tu '
an, "JT^ man, *f^ van ; also the adjectives formed with X*l * n >
n, ^T Ina,|^r lya, 7TT tana, 7TR tama, TT^tara, Tf^I maya,
If <^ mat, fc^ vat.

/. Masc., fern., or nent. are stems formed with ^ i or ^ u.

B. Compound*.

184. X. Verbal Compounds are formed by combining roots
with some twenty prepositions and a few adverbs. The com-
pound verb is conjugated like the simple verb. Thus
'to go,' combines with ^f^ sam, 'together/ to
'to go together/ 'unite* ; 3. sing. pres. ^HI^Ri sain-gacchatL
The compound root can be used to form nominal stems by means
of the primary suffixes .enumerated above (182, i) } e.g. ^ROT
sarp-gam-a', m. 'union. 9

& Tbe prepositions which are compounded with roots are the
following: .*^ft ati, 'beyond*; WfV Sdhi, 'upon';

VI 1 84 VERBAL COMPOUNDS 167

'after'; ^JRP anta*r, * between'; VT pa, ' away ' ; ^Tft a"pi,
'on'; ^Brf5T abhi,' against'; ^RT ava, 'down'; ^SJT a 1 , 'near' ;
"d,'up'; ^Riipa, *upto'; f% nf, 'down 1 ; f*ra>fs, 'out';
pra, ' away ' ; T|f^ p&i, 'around'; IT pr, * forth '; JTf?T
prtfti, ' towards ' ; f% vf , * asunder ' ; ^^ sto, * together."

6. A few adverbs are a] so compounded with a limited number
of verbs : Tn<^ tira"s, ' across,' ' aside,' with ff kr, ' make,* \T
dha, ' put,' ^bhu, * be ' ; e. g. frt^^^fSfl tiras-kurvanti, * they
abuse'; HlO'W tiro-dha, ' put aside,' * conceal ' ; fTjO^^I'^
tiro 'bhavan, 'they disappeared* ; ^tl, puiiis with BF kr and
W dha, 'put in front,' 'honour'; e.g. y^f^^^l^ puras-
kriyantam, 'let them be honoured* ; ^Hft^avls, 'openly,' with
kr, 'to manifest,' with ^R^as and ^bhu, 'to appear' ; e.g.
avis-karoti,' he shows'; ^u fq ^ i tTl q s avir-asit, - he

appeared'; ^IflH, ^lam, 'enough,' with W kr, 'to adorn.'
s'r^d, an old word meaning 'heart' (Lat. cord-), having acquired
the character of an adverb, is compounded with \TT dha, 'put';
and similarly *TO^ n&nas, 'obeisance,' ^^H. ^sta-m, ace. of
1 ?rar iista, 'home,' are compounded with participles of W kr, 'do,'
and ^ i, 'go,' respectively; e.g. *i^'iiT+f srad-dadhami, 'I
l>ut faith,' 'credit* (Lat. credo); l*ltgt(t| namas-kftya, 'having
adored' ; ^M^HlA stam-ita, 'set* (of the sun).

Note. Adjectives or substantives may be compounded with f
kr and ^bhii, before which final ^U a, ^R[ a, or ^ i becomes t^ I,
final ^ u becomes ^ u; e.g. ^HI vasa, m. 'control 1 : S^Hw
vasi-kr, *red\ice to subjection,' <nTi^ vas'i-bhu, 'become sub-
ject' ; tfftj^Bfl parikhi-krta, 'turned into a moat* (H(\^II
parikha). The sense of these verbal compounds implies a trans-

1 The preposition TIT & reverses the sense of verbs of going or
giving ; e. g. ^JPR^ a-gam, ' come ' ; ^1^1 a-da, ' take.'

formation ; thus ^ffcfl+Jfl ratni-bhuta would mean 'turned into a
jewel/ but <|+J4f ratna-bhuta, ' being a jewel/ as a nominal
compound (188, i c).

II. Nominal Compounds.*

185. The power of combining two or more words into one,
which belongs to all the Indo-European languages, has been
more* largely developed in Sanskrit than in any of the others.
Not only are long and complex compounds here in constant use,
but they also take the place of the analytical modes of expression
which prevail in the other cognate tongues. Thus Kalidasa
describes a river as 'wave-agitation-loquacious-bird-row-girdle-
strrag-ed/ while we should say: 'her girdle-string is a row of
birds loquacious because of the agitation of the waves.' Com-
pounds being therefore of great syntactical importance in Sanskrit,
it is necessary to distinguish and classify the various kinds, in
order that the meaning of a Sanskrit sentence may be clearly
understood. The most convenient division is into the three
classes of Co-ordinatives, Determinatives, and Possessives. The
Determinatives, so called because the former member determines
(or qualifies) the latter, are of two kinds, Dependent and
Descriptive. Possessives are secondary compounds, consisting
chiefly of Determinatives turned into adjectives.

a. All words making up a compound except the last, ordinarily
appear in the form of their uninflected stem ; those with two atems
using the weak, and those with three, the ^middle stem (73 c).
The last word, in the case of Co-ordinatives and Determinatives,
retains, as a rule, its usual form and inflexion, as well as, if a
substantive, its gender ; while, in Possessives, it is variable like
an adjective.

E.g. ^i^rar. deva-dasak,m. * servant of a god, or of the gods ' ;

VI 1 86 NOMINAL COMPOUNDS 169

^SlfiUj^U svSmi-seva, f. * serving a master' ; V<al1 raja-karma,
n. ' duty of a king * ; J 1 1 *1 *V sa-nam an , ' bomonymous ' : nom. m,
f. {MfsT), n.

1. Co-ordinative (Dvandva) Compounds.

l86, These consist of two (or more) nouns, far less commonly
adjectives, very rarely adverbs, connected in sense by the copula
'and.' Dvandva, the name applied to Co-ordinatlves by the Hindu
grammarians, means ' pair ' or couple.'

i. Compounded substantives are inflected iu the dual or plural
according as two or more objects are denoted, the gender being that
of the last member; e.g. f^jAI^H hasty-asvau, 'an elephant and
a horse* ; {g^-^ll? hasty-asvaJjL 1 , ( elephants and horses.* When,
however, the parts of the compound express not individuals but
categories, the Dvaudva is inflected in the neuter singular as
a collective; e.g. 'l^ll^ei*^ gavaasvam, ' kine and horses.'
Names of objects associated in pairs by way of contrast are often
combined in Dvandvas ; e. g. fcu^l^lt siipha-gajak, ' lions and
elephants'; M |<*|4|*l|<J[r<n fiSrameya-maij&raV dogs and cats' ;
aho-ratra, m. n. 'day and night 2 .' The number

of members in the compound is not limited and is often con-
siderable ; e. g. ^cj|Mq*n^jili s i^|^tllJ deva-gandharva-
monusauittga-raksasat, 'gods, heavenly musicians, men, serpents,
and demons.'

a. Adjectives (including past participles) are comparatively
seldom compounded as Dvandvas; e.g. ^TH^(V4U[ uttara-

daksina, ' north and south ' ; UD^^H sltausna, ' cold and hot ' ;
sitaasita, "white and black 3 '; *<ii4n ghanajtyaia,

Cp. Lat. su-ove-t*uriliA. * Cp. Gk.

170 COORDINATIVE COMPOUNDS VI 186

'dense and extensive* (forest); Bini8m krta^krta, 'done and
undone * ; *JHl^nn mrtaajata, ' dead and unborn/

& Two past participles are sometimes compounded to express
immediate sequence, the relation of the second to the first being
often translatable by e as soon as* ; e.g. &l& drsta-nasta/ seen
and vanished *=' vanished as soon as seen ' ; SU'dJVfl jata-preta,
1 di ed as soon as born ' ; HjngifiHfciOfMcT ut-khata + prati-ropita ,
' uprooted and replanted ' ; tJjTifi^a suptautthita, ' having slept
and arisen/ i. e. * having jiist arisen from sleep/

3. Examples of the rare Dvandvas composed of adverbs are
sgytfm-pratar, 'in the evening and morning * ;

1TO*^ div5-naktam, ' by day and night/

a. Occasionally complex Dvandvas, made up of compounds of
another class, are met with; e.g.

vyaklrDa-kesara-f-karSla-mukha, 'having a dishevelled mane and
terrific jaws/ consists of two possessives (189),

b. Of the numerous Vedio Dvandvas consisting of the names
of deities, each member being in the dual and separately accented,
only very few survive in Sanskrit:

1 Mitra and Varuna ' ; ^11^1^^ dyava z -prthivyail, * Heaven
and Earth/ In cases other than nom. voc, ace. the final
memberjmly is inflected: f^flM^^: mitra-varunayot and

C dy5v5-prthivyo^.

mStr, 4 mother/ and ft^ pitr, 'father/ as the first
member of a Dvandva of relationship, assume the form of the
nom. aing.; ^ncill^nO mSta^pitarau, 'mother and father J ;

pita-putrau, 'father and son/

1 Mitri and DyivS are Vedic duals. This type of compound was
porhap* OTiginally due to the juxtaposition of elliptic duals (c) ; e. g.
Mitri/the two Mitras' being -'Mitra and Varuna/ TOTO dvi-da^a
i ; a nnmenl Dvandva (< two and ten ') in which the first number is an
old dual.

VI 187 CO-OBDINATIVE COMPOUNDS 171

The masc. of co-ordinate pairs of relations can be used alone in
the dual so as to include the female; e.g. fflflO pitarau =
* parents'; "3^0 -svaSurau l . =' parents-in-law *; tpft putrau=
'son and daughter' (as well as 'two sons'); IslTdO bhratarau
= 'brother and sister V

2 a. Dependent (Tatpnrusa) Determinatives.

187. A dependent determinative is one in which tbe first
member depends on the last, tbe syntactical relation of the former
to the latter being that of an attribute (noun or pronoun) in an
oblique case. Tbe compound maybe a substantive or an adjective,
according as the last member is one or the other.

E.g. flf^^m tat-purusa, m. 'the man of him,' 'his man* (an
example used by the Hindu grammarians to designate the class) ;
frn, sura-manin, adj. ' thinking oneself a hero ' ;

gunaupeta, adj. ' endowed with virtues ' (upajta is a past part.)-
In dependent compounds the first member may have the sense

of any oblique case, but that of the gen. is by far the commonest.
i. Ace. The last member is naturally always an adjective of

a verbal nature 3 ; ^^^ jaya-prepdu, adj. 'desiring victory*

(prajpsu is a desid. adj., cp. 170, a); ^*ftXf varsa-bhogya, adj.

'to be enjoyed for a year' (bhogya is a fut. part, pass.); *Jf MI<T

grh^Jigata, adj. ' come to the house ' (agata is a past part.) ;

<u)*UUH grama-prapta, 'arrived at the village*.* (A past part.

is more commonly placed at the beginning, when the compound

*. Some dependent compounds retain the case termination in the
governed noun ; e. g. V^TO dhanam-jaya, adj. ' winning booty/
TO. as a proper name; ^<hl^ parajpnai-pada, n. 'word for
another*; q,^^fa v5ca-pati, m. 'lord of speech' ; ^l\|fS<

VI 1 88 DEPENDENT DETERMINATIVES 173

1 difference,* generally means * other, 1 sometimes * special/ * par-
ticular'; e.g. n^fq^H tejo-vis'esa, m. 'extraordinary splen-
dour*; <^;m^\ desajuitara, n. 'another country';

\ipayajintai a, n. ' a special means ' ; *U*Uni s bhasyaantara,
n. ' particular conversation.'

d. ^nj artha, m. * object,* ' purpose,' is often used adverbially
at the end of dependents in the ace. and less commonly in the
dat, and loc.; e.g. cpTOWfaj. damayanty-artham, 'for the
sake of Damayantl.'

2l>. Descriptive (Karmadharaya) Determinatives.

j88. A descriptive determinative is one in which the first
member describes the last, the syntactical relation of the former
to the latter being that of a predicate. This relation may be
expressed in three ways :

i. By a Noun (in apposition) ; e. g. T^rff rajajsi, m. ' king
sage,* i. e. " royal sage * ; ??ffanf ( stri-jana, m. ' women-folk.'

a. A title is thus sometimes compounded with a proper name ;
e.g. 'limttliJ^Kfl amatya-Baksasa, ' Minister Raksasa.' Oc-

casionally the proper name comes first; e.g.
Sandili-mStr, 'Mother Sandili.'
ft. The apposition often expresses a comparison ;

jalada-s'yama, adj. 'dark as a cloud'; f^RlfiiH hima-rf'U'ira, adj.
4 cold as ice '; ^reTRWJC^W jalaantas-candra-capala, adj.* fickle
as the moon reflected in the water.' When both members are
substantives the object with which a comparison is made is placed
not at the beginning of the compound, but at the end; e.g.
pumsa-vyaghra, m. 'roan-tiger,' Le. ' tiger-like man,'

'human tiger'; *TPfI^ vafc-madhu, n. 'speech-honey,' i.e.
'honied speech'; HT<^M^ pada-padma,n. c foot-lotus,' i. e. 'lotus-
like foot.*

174 DESCBIPTIVE DETERMINATIVES Vt 1 88

c. The past part. iJTTbhuta, * become,* 'existent,* is often added,
in the sense of 'being,' to an appositional substantive (which is
thus turned into an adj.); e,g. d*fl*J?f tamo-bhuta, ' existing in
a state of darkness ' ; Vf^JJl ratna-bhuta, ' being a jewel ' (cp.
184 6, note).

a. By an Adjective ; e. g. &<*!I*IH krsna-sarpa, m. ' black
snake *; ^il^nfMtn nilajjtpala, n. 'blue lotus'; +i^|j ma-
dhyaahna, m. 'midday 5 ; *?v}*J|Jf ardha-marga, m. 'half way';
vartamSna-kavi, m. 'living poet."

a. Those compounds in which the adjective is a numeral are
by the Hindu grammarians treated as a special class, called
Dvign. ( two-cow'). They are generally neuters or feminiues
(in ^ T) expressing aggregates ; e. g. fa^* tri-loka, n. or
T^n^T tri-loki, f. 'the three worlds.' They may also become
adjectives by being turned into possessives (189); e.g. RlJJUT
tri-guna, n. 'the three qualities'; adj. 'possessing the three
qualities.'

* 5?purva, 'previous/ is put at the end, instead of adverbially
at the beginning, in the sense of ' before,' after past participles ;
e-g. 1^4 adj. 'seen before.'

c. At the beginning of a descriptive compound *1Q^ mahat
becomes ^TT maha, while at the end TTT^rajan, ^T^^ahan,
^t% sakhi, ^Jpr j-atri, become TT^T, ^nf , ^RT, TT^T (m. n-)

tf* Compounds of this kind, .when used in the ace. neuter as
adverbs, are treated by the Hindu grammarians as a special class
called Avyayi-bhava ('indeclinable state'). Such are

anu-rupam, 'conformably' ; ^vii^fo yatha-b'akti, * according to
ability ' ; tlfal^n, sa-vinayam, ' politely ' ; <qiq^|c(^ yavaj-
jivam, 'for life.*

3. Possessive (BaLnvrilii) Compounds.

189. These compounds are essentially adjectives agreeing with.
a substantive expressed or understood. They are determinatives
(generally of the adjectivally descriptive class) ending in substan-
tives, which are made to agree in gender, number, and case -with
another substantive. Thus -=1*5111^ bahu-vrihi, m. ' much rice/
becomes an adjective in the sense of 'having much rice 1 (an
example used by the Hindu grammarians to designate the class).

^Every kind of determinative can be turned into a possessive;
e - ? ^toOU'i indra-s'atru, m. 'foe of Indra* : adj. 'having Indra
as a foe ' ; 4f)4JM<J4|i*J bhlma-parakrama, m. ' terrible prowess ' :
adj. ' of terrible prowess ' ; PlM^ tri-p^d, adj. * three-footed '
(Gk. rp^Trod-, Lat. tri-ped-) ; ^vD^^I adho-mukha, adj. c down-
cast* (tnukha, n. 'face'); 1f$1 a-putra, adj. 'sonleas';
sa-bhSrya, adj. 'accompanied by his wife* (bharya);
tatha-vidha,adj.'of such a kind' (vidhi,m.); ^Nr^
adj. nom. m,f. (dvo-^tv^), Mil-minded,' 'dejected.'

A. In the Vedic language possessives were distinguished from
determinatives by accent ; e. g . raja-putra/ king's son '; rajrf-putra,
adj. c having kings as sons.'

b. Possessives often come to be used as substantives or proper

176 POSSESSIVE COMPOUNDS VI 189

names ; e.g.^^J su-hrd, 'good -hearted/ becomes masc.' friend' ;
^TOWTT^ satja'-sravas, adj, nom. m. * of true fame/ becomes
the name of a man (cp. *Ero*jcX^s).

c. Possessives are often very intricate, containing several other
compounds. Thus [(vlcl-tso'bha)-stanita-(viliaga-si i eni)]-(^aftci-
guna) is based on an appositional descriptive consisting of two
main parts. The second, ' kaffct-guna/ m. ' girdle-string,' is a
Tatpurusa. The first is an adjectival descriptive in which the
Tatpurusa * vihaga-s'reni/ 'row of birds,' is described by ' vTci-
ksobha-stanita/ 'loquacious through wave-agitation.' The latter
is a compound Tatpurusa, in which 'stanita* is qualified by the
simple Tatpurusa 4 vici-ksobba/ 'agitation of the waves/ ^flnr
UUfJfc^uft fitaufna-kiranau, 'moon aud sun,* is an example of a
Bah uvrihi which is used as a substantive and contains aDvandva.
It is in reality a kind of contracted Dvandva ('the cool and the
hot-rayed" for 'the cool-rayed and the hot-rayed').

d. Bahuvrihis with a past participle at the beginning are
syntactically often equivalent to a gerund or loc. absolute ; e. g.
tyakta-uagara, 'having the city left' =

nagaram tyaktvS, 'having left the city/ or TTC Wni
tyakte, * the city being left. 1

e. Bahuvrthis based on appositional descriptives often imply
a comparison; e.g. V|'l{^ l*|4j cajudi^nana, * moon-faced* ; Mijtl
padmajksa (f. i), ' lotus- eyed/ Inversion of the natural oider
does not take place here as in descriptives (cp. 188, I b).

/ qp$i< kalpa, m. 'manner/ and TTpSf praya, m/ chief part/ are
used at the end of Bahuvrihis in the sense of 'like/ 'almost 1 ;
e.g. in*racQ<!H amrta-kalpa, adj. 'ambrosia-like 1 ;

prabhata-prSya, adj. 'almost dawning/ In the same position M^.
para and M<41 parama, adjectives meaning 'highest/ 'chief/ used
as substantives, signify 'engrossed in/ 'intent on* (lit, 'having

VI 189 POSSESSIVE COMPOUNDS 177

as the chief thing f ) ; e.g. ft*fllM< cintS-para, 'immersed in
thought/

f- tJTMl matra, f. 'measure,' is used at the end of Bahuvrihis
in the sense of ' only ' ; e.g. *u*l*H^n i\|t namamatra nara^,
' men bearing the name only.' At the end of past participles it
means 'as soon as ' ; e.g. 4kl4*U^9 ^TJ* jata-matrai satrap, 'an.
enemy as soon as (he has) come into being. 1 It is, however,
generally employed as a neuter substantive in this -way ; e. g.
, ' water alone' (lit. 'that which has water

for its measure f ).

h. 4||f^ adi, m. and U*lf3| prabhrti, f. ' beginning,' TIW adya,
* first ' (used as a substantive), are employed at the end of Bahu-
Tiihis in the sense of ' and the rest,' ' and so forth, 1 ' etcetera/
primarily as adjectives and secondarily as substantives; e. g.
J* (deva) Indraadayal?, ' (the gods) Indra and the

rest' (lit. 'having Indra as their beginning'); ^cq lf^ it\Jdi, n.
'beginning thus* (i.'e. with these words)='and so on.'

yO J l** puro-gama, ^4 purva, gT^^PC purat-sa r a 'preceding'
=' leader, 1 are similarly employed in the sense of 'preceded, led,
or accompanied by'; e.g.

by Indra.' Ijj3f and ^T-^5TT ftre a ^ BO ^ se d adverbially at the end
of Bahuvrihis; e.g. Rfld^H 'with the accompaniment of a
smile,' ' smilingly ' ; ^^*nl*i\ttl\^ bahumana-purabsaram,
* with respect,' ' respectfully.'

/. Words meaning ' hand' are placed at the end of possessives ;
fUJ sastra-pani, 'weapon-handed,' 'having a weapon

in one's hand ' ; J^^^ti kusa-hasta, ' with kusa-grass in (his)
hand.'

/. The suffix 1^ in is pleonasticaUy added to \nl dharma,
1 duty,' Sftsr sila, ( character/ *TTWT mala, * garland/ irWT s'ala,
'house/ ^f^TT aobha, 'beauty/ *JT& varna^ 'colour'; e.g.

POSSESSIVE COMPOUNDS VII 190

fa. vara-var^-in, 'of excellent colour/ The adjectival
suffix qi ka is similarly often added, especially to unusual finals,
as to words in ^S r, to feminines in ^ I (like 1^ nadi), and in
the feminine to words in f^in ; e.g.*jn*ig*nl mrba-bhartr-ka,
' whose husband is dead '; 4mflT|t|t sa-patnl-ka, 'accompanied by
his wife.'

CHAPTER VII

OUTLINES OF SYNTAX

190. As the great bulk of the literature consists of poetry, the
syntactical- arrangement of the Sanskrit sentence is primitive and
undeveloped, as compared with Latin and Greek. Its main
characteristic is the predominance of co-ordination, long com-
pounds and gerunds constantly taking the place of relative and
other subordinate clauses, while the oratio obliqua is entirely
absent. Another feature is the comparatively rare use of the
finite verb (frequent enough in the Vedic language), for whici
past participles or verbal nonns are very often substituted. There
is also a marked fondness for passive constructions. A special
feature of Sanskrit syntax is the employment of the locative
absolute.

The Order of Words.

igi. The usual arrangement of words in a Sanskrit sentence
is: first, the subject with its attributes (a genitive preceding its
nominative); second, the object with its adjuncts (which precede
it); and lastly, the verb.

Adverbs or extensions of the predicate are commonly placed
near the beginning, and unemphatic connective particles follow

VTT 192 THE ORDER OF WORDS 170

the first word; e.g. *r*ra^[ ^ft ^H M^t SRTO 'but
Janaka went in haste to his own city/

When there is a vocative, it generally comes first. Instead of
the subject any other word requiring emphasis may be placed at
the head of the sentence ; e, g. \|^H 9RTT *4d+tt f lftg4|9(
at night you must not enter the monastery. 1

A. The subject, if a personal pronoun, is not expressed -unless
emphatic, being inherent in finite verbal forms. Even the general
subject 'one* or 'they' is often indicated by the verb alone;
e. g. WTTc(/ one should say ' ; "WF* ' they say '=' it is said.'

b. The copula ^Ra ' is,' unless the tense or mood has to be
expressed, is generally omitted. In that case the predicate pre-
cedes its noun ; e. g. ij\n<!ll Tlf^ ' the night (is) cold.' If the
predicate bears any emphasis, Hfft is used, not *nftq ; e.g. ^

TT

is distinguished by knowledge, penance, or birth, is (certainly)
to be respected by the twice-born/

c. Just as attributes precede their nouns and the qualifying
word conies first in compounds, so a relative or other subordinate
clause precedes the principal clause, which regularly begins with
a correlative word; e.g. ^TO VT *TO ^n, lit. 'of whom
wealth, of him power/ i.e. 'he who has wealth has powwr.*
Similarly

The Article.

IQ2. There is properly neither an indefinite nor & definite
article in Sanskrit. But TPR 'one' and *faf *soW (119),
being frequently used to express 'a certain,' may sometime* b*
translated by ' a.' Similarly *T ' that ' (no) may, when referring
to persons or things just mentioned, be rendered by 'the' ; e.g
' the king' (of whom we are speaking).

Vumber.

193. i. Singular collective words are sometimes used at the end
of compounds to form a plural; e.g. 'teftsil stri-jana, m.
' womenfolk '=' women.' Such collectives ate sometimes them-
selves used in the plural ; e. g. <*Tt*6 or WtSfiT* 'the world/
'people,.'

a. The dual number is in regular use and of strict application,
the plural practically never referring to two objects. It is there-
fore invariably employed with the names of things occurring iu
pairs, such as parts of the body; e.g. ^<xH 4l^{V ^ 'the hands
and the feet/ A maac. dual is sometimes used to express a male
and female of the same class; e.g. ^HTcfJ fnaO 'thc parents
of the universe* (see 186, 3 c, p. 171).

3. . The plural is sometimes applied to others by the speaker
or writer as a mark of great respect, *j|*|4^ and *JflW taking
the place of ^^ and 3*^1*0 e.g. 5T7f +i*tRj: 'has your Majesty
heard? * In this sense the plur. m^U ' feet ' is employed instead
of the dual (cp. 193,

.

insults your Majesty('s feet).' Proper names are occasionally
used in tho same way; e.g. ifft 4TlU(^i<Nl4l* 'thus (eays)
the revered teacher Samkara. 1

6, The i. pers. pi. is sometimes used by the speaker referring
to himself (like our editorial 'we *) instead of the singular or dual
(cp. 193, 2); e.g. 44|4{fif ftftfij^l+i; 'we (=1) too ask
sotoething'; fijj g&|: 4JJHd*l'what s haU we (=you and I)
do now?*

c. The names of countries are plural, being really the names of
*

'in Vidarbha* (Berar). In the singular the name
of the people often danotea the king of the country.

ttead of ha grammatical gender ; e, g.Wt Ra^-n1i "Piv^iM*
Win: WWr: *thlnkiag (wac,) of thee the subjects (fern,) have
been reduced to iaktag no food/

<?, Aa in Greek and Latin, a demonstrative pronoun agrees vith
iU predicate In gettden-e.g. *tft ^?ft ^W: '<his (maao.)
U Ibe be^ counnl* (maac,).

A participle uaed in place of a finite verb, which should agree

182 CONCORD vn i 95

with the subject, may be attracted in gender by a substantive
predate if in close proximity with it;_e.g. tf * f3nf m^
thou (masc.) hast become (neut.) my friend' (neut.).
4- A singular collective noun is necessarily followed by a singular
verb. Two singular subjects require a predicate in the dual, three
or more require it in the plural. Occasionally, however, the pre-
dicate agrees in number with the nearest subject, being mentally
the rest;-e.g. *

.

W^VT^'Kantimatl, this kingdom, and my very
life (are) at your mercy ' (sing.).

* Similarly, the verb which should agree with a single plural
subject may be attracted in number by a noun predicate in its
immediate P roximity;
tn es e fleven

^

Pronoun*.

195- 1- Personal, a. Owing to its highly inflexional character
Sanakrit uses the nominatives of personal pronouns far less
frequently than modern European languages do (cp. 191 a).'

*. The unaccented forms of ^RR and ?^ (109 a) being
enclitic, can be used neither at the beginning of a sentence or
metrical line (Psda), nor after vocatives, nor before the particles
~ ' ' (not%) ;

house or mine.'

thou (with which it often alternates even in the same sentence),
takes the verbin the 3. person ;_e.g.fvnf *TO>hat does

in the same way; it frequently has a singular sense (193, 3 a). Two

atra-bhav5nrefers to some one present, either the person addressed
or some third person='your Honour here' or 'his Honour here';
TSWTP^tatraMbhavBn, ' tia Honour there/ referring to some one
off the stage, can only be used of a third person. Both take the
verb in the 3. sing.

a. Demonstrative. . ipj and ^RT^ refer to what is near
or present=* this/ The former is the more emphatic of the two.
Both are often employed agreeing with a subject in the I. or 3.
pers. sing, in the sense of^here ' ; e.g. H* TO?ft tTOf?T 'here
a devotee stands ' ; ^^(Ifl ' here am I ' ;

'here comes your son/ ^RJ *rm 'this person' is frequently
used as an equivalent of *!/

6. ^ and ^tH refer to what is absent or remotest that/ ^f is
the more definitely demonstrative of the two, being, for instance,
the regular correlative to an antecedent relative. It has the
following special uses. It has often (like Lat. ffle) the sense of
'well-known/ 'celebrated'; e.g. ?IT 4JH( Tf^t *that well-
known charming city/ It is frequently also the equivalent of

* the aforesaid ' ; e. g. ^frf ^R^ ' I (being) such * (as just described).
In this sense it may often be translated simply by the definite
article *the' (cp. 192). When unaccompanied by a noun ^|
supplies the place of a personal pronoun of the third persoti=

* he, she, it, they /'but with a certain amount of emphasis when
used in the nominative O^WH and "W^fY are employed in the
same way as personal pronouns of the third person). Finally ^T
when repeated means * various/ 'several/ *all sorts of*; e.g.
^nf^f JTrff 91I4 WQ?( 'he read various treatises/

3. IPoftseuive. These pronouns (116} are comparatively little
used, as the genitive of the personal pronouns is generally em-
ployed. In accordance with the sense of t^c^ (195, r c), its
derivatives Xl^\l bhavad-Iya and *URf* bhavat-ka are used
as possessive pronouns of the second person in respectful address*

184 USES OP THE CASES VII 196

THE CASES.

Hominative.

196. The nominative is far less frequently used in Sanskrit as
the subject of a sentence than in other Indo-European languages.
Its place is very commonly supplied by the instrumental of the
agent with -a passive verb ; e. g.%^lft JNtK^WNltil ftfTifl
' a certain field-watcher was standing aside * (lit. ' by a certain
field- watcher it was stood aside').

. The nominative is used predicatively with verbs meaning
* to be, become, seem, appear/ as well as with the passive of verbs
of calling, considering, sending, appointing, making, &c. ; e. g.
%*f *jFlTr JRJTt **TW WR 'the dog was turned into a tiger
by the sage.'

b. The nominative followed by ff*f may in certain circumstances
take the place of the accusative (Bee 194, i).

Accusative.

197. Besides its ordinary use of denoting the object of transitive
verbs, the accusative is employed to express

x. the goal with verbs of motion; e.g.
'he went to Vidarbha.'

. verbs of going, like inland ^TT, are very commonly joined
with an abstract substantive where either the corresponding
adjective with 'to become/ or merely an intransitive verb would
be used in English; e. g. ^1 ^ftfif 4(1(71 ' he becomes famous *
(lit. 'goes to fame '); TV^Ef 1pQgf?T ' he dies ' (lit. 'goes to death 9 ).

a. duration of time and extension of space ; e. g.

'he learns for a month*; {ftO!*! J|4(Rl 'he goes (the distance
of) a Yojana' (nine miles).

3. the object of desiderative adjectives in *J (cp. 169) and of
some compound adjectives beginning with prepositions; e.g.

VII 198 ACCUSATIVE 185

' I am desirous of crossing the ocean ' ;
' devoted to DamayantT,*

4. the cognate object of intransitive verbs in the case of sub-
stantives and the analogous adverbial sense in the case of
adjectives; e.g. 3ftl*U^ *j4l*t 44j 'may he rain (L e. grant)
all desires ' ; ifVgT J 1^IH ' let us go quickly * (originally > * go a
quick gait ').

Double Accusative.

198. Two accusatives are governed by

i. verbs of calling, considering, knowing, making, appointing,
choosing; e.g. ^Mlf^f 1ST Mwfn^mt/ 1 know thee (to be)
the chief person.'

a. verbs of speaking (ff, ^R^, ^f|)> asking ("J^f), begging
fal 1 ^, JTHsNl), instructing (^-^1^), fining
winning (f%), milking (^); e.g.

'the bird addressed a speech to Nala';
* he should ask tme evidence from the twice-born * ;
e asks Bali for the earth* ;

/ what she commands me s ; m^tl^ia ^H^q<^ * he should
fine them a thousand (panas)'; fSfW IW i^i*^ 'having won
the kingdom from Nala ' ; <(i(lf*l iiV^R^^ ' they milked
(i.e. extracted) gems from the earth.'

a. qKTC 'tell,' *%<^r 'make known/ and ^(T-t^^ 'enjoin, 1
never take the accusative of the person addressed, but the dative
(or gen.).

3. verbs of bringing, conveying, leading, dispatching; e.g.
'he brings the goat to the village ' ;

'having sent SakuntalS away to her husband's
house.'

l86 ACCUSATIVE VII 199

4. causative vfcrbs ,- e. g. TW ^JJUIIMtlRl ' he causes BSma
to learn the Veda 1 ; if stress is laid on the agent (the direct ace.),
it may be put in the instrumental : ?rf ^O^K W^i ' he should
cause her to be devoured by dogs. 1

a. When the causative meaning has faded, the dat. or gen, of
the person is used instead of the ace.; this is generally the case
with ^Hlfrr 'show' ('cause to see'), and ^fT^R 'tell* ('cause to
hear'), and always withal 'make known,' 'tell' ('cause to
know').

b. In the passive construction the direct ace. (the person or
agent) becomes the nom., the indirect ace. (the object or thing)
remains ; e, g. <J*Tl ^^ *|U||uft ' BSma is caused to learn
the Veda ' ; 7ft IfT^! WH9( ' dogs are caused to devour her ' ;

Bali k asked for the earth.'

IiurbrumentaL

199. The fundamental notion of the instrumental, which may
be rendered by 'by ' or 'with,' expresses the agent, the instru-
ment (means), or concomitant by or with which an action is
performed; e. g. ^rttWt. * it TOS said by him *=' he said'; ^
: 'he was killed with a sword'; ^BT f*i^
^ ' there is no one happier (201, a a)

in this world than he who has converse with a friend. 1
x. The foil owing are modification s of the instrumental sense

expressing
A the reason : *bf , M through, f ' by reason of/ 'because of/ 'on

account of 1 ; e. g. *T*T??t^pT^r through your favour f ;

VII 200 DATIVE l8g

Dative.

2OO. The dative case expresses either the indirect object,

generally a person, or the purpose of an action.
A. The dative of the indirect object is used
x. with transitive verbs, with or without a direct object :
Aof giving (?[T, ^Ipfa), telling (^f^ ^, WTO, <3MM4( f
promising (jtft* or TR-3J, JTlTMRT), showing
<* f^TpET ft <<^lfd 'he gives a cow to the

Brahmin* ; <*\SJ^|fii ^ JJJU^H'l tell you the truth.'
b. of sending, casting ; e. g. aft^

messenger was sent by Bhoja to Raghu';

' they cast (47) darts at Eama.*

3. with intransitive verbs meaning to please fa^), desire

^"ys! 1 Le m&j ^ ith ^^ 9 3R:> ^' injure ^^ ; ~

e- g. 0"^^ *HW/ it pleases me * ; 1 <WTil ^^ c I do not
long for the kingdom ' ; P(i4\|%| gn^ft ' he is angry with his
servant.' (^i^( &Jad 5^ when compounded with prepositions
govern the ace.)

3. with words of salutation; e.g. ^!U)^tl^ T*ft 'salutation to
GanesV; 31*1*1 ^ ' health to thee ' ; <l^l^ ^f?d *hail to Rama' ;
J9MIC! ^^ 'welcome to her Majesty. 1

B. The dative of purpose expresses the end for which an action
ia done, and is very often equivalent to an infinitive ; e. g. *J7G<i
'he worships Hari for (= to obtain) salvation';
'he goes for (=to obtain) fruit';

' your Honour (has) full
authority for the instruction of (= to instruct) niy sons in the
principles of morality * ; ^\<4 Wfi^dt ' he started for a fight *
(=' to fight ') ; y*!^* 1 ^ ' au Devoir. 1

DATIVE v ** 201

This dative is specially taken by verbs meaning
1* ' be fit for,' ' tend or conduce to ' (j|^, ^f-tR^, *MJ[)* e<
'piety conduces to knowledge.'

in the same way, but are often omitted;

e.g. <n^ulfM *rat|Y T^T^ Hff?T 'the combination even of
the weak leads to safety'; ^(|j^|l(||4| It Sfjjp[*(/ your weapon
(serves) for the protection of (=to protect) the distressed.*

a. 'be able/ 'begin, 1 'strive/ 'resolve/ 'order/ 'appoint';
g- 1?1 ^WT ^nitKHl^qqiltnil^K^ ' this story was able to
win over (akarsanSya) the warrior 1 ; 11(4) <$<f *i(q\!||^f 'he began
to (take) an oath'; fl^MU]!^ ^rf^ *I will try to find her';

'he has resolved on abandoning

his life*; 5Rq\*t x ^fdfa^tffl HJ^lf^Jm 'having charged
(a-disya) his daughter with the reception of tbe guests';

: 'he was appointed by the gods

for the destruction of (=to destroy) Bavana.'

a. The adverb -**i*^ ' sufficient ' is used in the sense of ' be
able to copo with/ 'be a match for ' ;~e. g. ^8^ tRl^*i
' Hari (is) a match for the demons/

Ablative.

2OI, The ablative primarily expresses the starting-point or
source from which anything proceeds. It thus answers to the
question' whence?' and may in general be translated by ' from/

E-g. ^Rf^ ^*5 **Tf ^l^^lf^ 'I wish to depart
from thia forest'; XTPmmT ^^T 'ruin results from sin'

did not fiwerve from his

porpose' (ni&aysd); ^%^ : ^ff^nf ^TT^ 'he heard of
thedeatii of his son from his relations'; iff yq1lf4qj 're-

er from her bonds'; f^ff 1^*1^ Resist from
act ; tfTTf ^fT 'R^TR^' protect me from hell.'

VII 201 ABLATIVE

a. The source of apprehension is put in the ablative with
verb* of fearing (3ft, ^ft^ud-vij) ;
'you are afraid of the hunter*;

1 a Brahmin should always shrink from marks of honour.*

b. Verhs expressing separation 'from* naturally take the abla-
tive ; e. g. TO3ft fo*HRW * parted from you ' ; ^TT

'and she is deprived of her husband's place* (such words
also take the instr. : cp. 199, 2 6). Allied to this use is that of
'to cheat of ' (= so as to separate from); e.g.
* to cheat a Brahmin of his he-goat.'

c. As the abl. expresses the terminus a quo, it is employed with
all words meaning "far/ or designating the cardinal points;
e.g. %t m^ltl/far from the village'; 4JI*II<1 Tg^f f*tf%*
'the mountain (is) to the east of the village.'

d. Similarly the abl. also expresses the time after which
anything takes place;- e.g. 4f^& su^iq/seen after a long,
time ' ; ^VU^l^ ' after a week.'

The abl. also expresses the following senses connected with its
original meaning:

i. the cause, reason, or motive = ' on accounted/ 'be-
cause of,' 'through/ "from 1 ; e.g. flWl^ 1TO *1"^*iTd 'he
eats the flesh through greed.' This use of the abl. is especially
common, in commentaries, with abstract nouns in W tva ; e. g.
tf^fti f%|'4| l*V WH^BII^ ' the mountain is fiery because of its
smokiuess.' (The instr. is also employed in this sense: 199, I a.)

9. comparison:

*. with comparatives* (=' than') or words with a comparative
meaning; e.g^Hfa^ I ^ <l*Tt f^^tli,: 'ESma is more learned
than Govinda' ; l^ft ^T 1 !^ HfflRL 1 *!^ 'knowledge is superior
to action.' In thi$ sense it is used even with positives (=*in
comparison with') ;

192 ABLATIVE VII 202

wife is dear even in comparison with (i. e. dearer than) the whole
world'; ^i^ft ^<fUlfU! J<&fr g>^*tl^fM ^nifa 'hearts
harder even than adamant, more tender even than a flower.'

b. with words meaning 'other 1 or 'different' (V*T, \jA\,
VnC. f*W); e.g. a&mi<^*ft *Hfa^ 'Govinda is different
from Krsna.'

c. Allied to the comparative abLis that used with mnltiplicative
words like ' double,' * treble/ &c. ; e. g. *J<*H^ M^^fl ??&*

a fine five times (in comparison with) the value. 1

Genitive.

2O2. The primary sense of the genitive is quasi-adjectival, since
its qualification of another substantive means ' belonging to * or
connected with/ It may generally be expressed in English by
the preposition 'of.' "With substantives the gen. is used in a
possessive, subjective, objective, or partitive sense; e.g. TTV
3^V 'the king's man '; <J^**^*l^(^*j *nnT: 'y ou * con-
cealment of Baksasa's wife,' (i.e. 'by you'); m$*U 7TOT: 'by
the supposition of her' (Le. 'supposing it was she');
TTT*^ 'the foremost of the wealthy.'
i. The gen. is used with a number of verbs :
a. in the possessive sense with $^Ts, TT-^ ' be master of/
* have power over/ and with ^, ^ ' be/ fa*17t ' exists ' ; e. g.
'I shall be master of myself;

' I have a book.'
in the objective sense (concurrently with the ace.) with

-I * nm b,''^ ' imitate ';-e.g.
these men have mercy on you 1 ;
remembers your favours';

'I will imitate BhTma. 1

VII 202 GENITIVE

193

c. in the objective sense (concurrently with the loc.) with verbs
meaning 'do good or harm to' (BtHR , ^^, VHF,
'trust in 1 (fo- 1 ^), 'forbear with' faO; e.g.
i: Benefiting his friends' ; fl

'how have I done her an injury?' "qiJM % 'forbear with me.'
d. with verbs meaning 'speak of 1 or 'expect of*; e,g.
'ije speaks thus of me though I am

guiltless' ; *|4*1<3 *J*lSl t**l | q7i 'anything may be expected
of that fool.'

fc. frequently (instead of the dat. of the indirect object) with
verbs of giving, telling, promising, showing, sending, bowing,
pleasing, being angry; e.g. 1TOT rn$U*l4 *l^nV ' I have
granted safety to him ' (tasya) ; f^fi 'Zf^ ^l-qn TW *docs he please
you ? ' <H4JT*lf^4j^ ^t*f I 'the sage (is) not very angry with me*
(mama).

/. sometimes (instead of the instr.) with verbs meaning ' be filled
or satisfied ' ; e. g. mfM^^ffl ^lai^in, 4fi re is not eatiated
with logs/ So also the past part, tjjt *fuU of ' (gen.), or 'filled
with' (instr.).

a. The gen. ia frequently used with, adjectives : ,

a. allied to transitive verbs; e.g. 3R7 ft*ufVt\ ^H*fl
1 old age is destructive of beauty. 1

b. meaning 'dependent on,' 'belonging or attached to,' 'dear
to ' ;e. g. TITRra: ^T mft*R: * that remedy depends on you '
(tava); ^c^^^l^ ^TW f*W^f l^WftT TfcC^R^r 'give
up whatever you have taken belonging to him' (asya) ;

TJUt flRi: ' who, pray, is dear to kings?'

CP meaning 'acquainted with/ 'versed or skilled
oustomed to* (concurrently with the loc.: 2O3/) ; e. g

are, indeed, onversant wiih

the ways of the world *; ^ilWI^K ^^*^ unskilled

GENITIVE VII 202

in battle 9 ; yftfl) ^*tt SnTRT^' people accustomed to hard-

ships.'
d. meaning ' like ' or * equal to ' (concurrently with the instr. :

199, ac); e.g. IJ^Tr B<jj<3 IJW 'Rama is equal to Krsna/
3. The gen. expresses the agent with passive participles :
a. past participles having a pres. sense, formed from roots

meaning 'think,' 'know,* 'worship*; e.g.

thought of =) ' approved of kings ' ;

* 'you are known to the hermits to be staying here.'
b. future participles (which also take the instr.: 199) ; e.g.TT
(jTOr) %^ff ?fT* ' Hart should he worshipped by me.'

4. The gen. is used with adverbs of direction in 7R^-tas
(cp. 177^); e.g.CT?re ^ninTt 'to the south of the village';
sometimes also with those in Tpf -ena (concurrently "with the
ace*}; e.g. ^^f^TTO 'to the north of this* (asya) place.

5. The gen. of time is used in the following ways :

a. with multiplicatives (108) or other numerals similarly used
it expresses how often anything is repeated within a stated
period ; e. g. ^Tff PK^*I fM^ ' he should offer the funeral
sacrifice three times a year 1 ;

*a Brahmin should perform at least one severe
penance a year.'

b. Words denoting time are put in the gen. (like the abl.) in
the sense of 'after*; e.g. *RlM<JIC3f (kati-payaahasya), ' after
some days'; fava t*l<q<3 'after a long time" : ft<4fl is also
used alone in this sense.

c. A noun and past part, in the gen. f accompanying an ex-
paression of time, have the sense of 'since'; e.g. ^W ^9C?t

'to-day (is) the tenth month since our

father died' (uparatasya). This construction is akin to the gen.
absolute (205, 2).

VII 203 GENITIVE

6. Two genitives are employed to express an option or a differ-
ence between two things -, e.g. qtl*l^ ^ *|WtSf *WR
*of vice and death, the former is called the worse*;
* * *^ s *& *ke only difference

between you (the long-lived) and India.*

Locative.

203. The locative denotes either the place where an action
occurs, or, with verbs of motion, the place whither an action is
directed. The former sense may variously be translated by 'in,
at, on, among, by, with, near/ the latter by 'into, upon*;
corresponding to Lat. in with abl. and ace. respectively.

The following are examples of the ordinary use of the loo. in
the sense of - where ? ' MfaHHdftUU3% PiqtfPn * birds live
in that tree*; t%^3 'inVidarbha'(i93,3c) 5 ^ Wli" *f*nflrf^
f ' I ^iU kill myself at your door * ; <**un, ' **

' (Benares) ; ** T^ 3 lfruit < is ) Been on &* tpees>;
encamped on (= close to) the Ganges';

' neither, among gods, nor Taksus, or among menejtber,
had such a beauty anywhere been seen before *j WfT Mi if 'by

my side.'

A. When the loo. means 'among* it is oftenequivalent to *

partitive gen.(2O2)

(=of) all the sons Pamais dearest to me.'

A. The person 'with ' whom one dwells or stays is put in the

loc- ;-e.g. ^ 'reft ' he lives with his **
c. The loc. with the verbs tOTft' stands 9 and

(=Lat. versatur) expresses 'abides by/ 'complies with ;

- comply with your mother's

ig6 LOCATIVE VII 203

d. The loc. is used to express the effect 'of ' a cause; e.g.

^ifar ^irt f^t ^Rfr tnrfi' fate ^^ ( ifl ) the cause

prosperity or decline of men.'

. The loc. expresses 'contact with verbs of seizing by
fastening to fa*%), clinging or adhering to (WT ,
leaning on f relying on or trusting to; e.g.^WtS ^J^l^t 'seizing
by the hair' ; ICTWt ^JIT 'taking by the hand '; ^

'he fastened a noose to the tree 9 ; *<WlitiTO: *JT* 'a hero
not addicted to vices ' ; f!*JJ&S 4lPMdlJ ' reclining on the roots
of trees ' ; ft^|Rlf?f UJg ' he trusts in his enemies * ;

iU<3rfvi) Isigf^ ft^^^ ' the gods fix their hopes of
victory on his bent bow.'

/, The loc. is used (concurrently with the gen.: 202, 2 c) with
adjectives meaning ' acquainted with/ ' versed or skilled in ' ;
e.g. <uTt^4]7) f^T* 'Eama (is) skilled in the game of dice' ;
TT% ^TT ^*4*(!. ' we (are) expert in acting/

g* The loc. is used figuratively to express the person or thing
in which some quality or state is to be found; e.g. ^|
* I look for everything in him > (cp. 202, 1 d) ;
Slfaf*! 'hunting (is) recognized as sinful in a prince ' ;
|* 'there is no harm in (giving) advice to

the afflicted.' Similarly, when the meaning of a word is explained,
the loc. expresses ' in the sense of ' ; e. g. VfllMl ^flf ' kalapa
(is used) in the sense of peacock's tail.'

It The circumstances in which an action takes place are ex-
preaeed by the loc.; e.g. TTRf^ 'in case of distress ' ; HT^g
*ia fortune*; f^MI^T ^JJHl^^fWl ('in the presence of '=)
* there being opeziings, misfortunes multiply.' ' In the last
xap3e the loc. expresses the reason ; if it were accompanied by
a predicative participle, it would be a loc. absolute (cp. 205, I a).

VII 204 LOCATIVE 197

/. The loc. of time, expressing when an action takes place, is
only a special application of the preceding sense ; e.g. q$!4J 4 in
the rainy season ' ; f5f^l*n*^ ' at night ' ; f^% f^% ' every day. 1

/. The loc. expresses the distance at which anything takes
place ; e. g. ^?ft Stlfn . . . "^RVnaNfai'f *1^W 'the great sage
lives at (a distance of) a yojana and a half from here. 5

204* The loc. answering to the question ' whither ? ' is always
used with verhs of falling and placing; concurrently with the dat.,
with those of throwing and sending (200 A I ft) ; and, concurrently
vith the ace., with those of going, entering, ascending, striking,
"bringing, sending; e.g. ^fl* MMld 'he fell on the ground';
' having put (it) in that same begging

howl ' J ^^*J^ftf teunt ' placing his hand on his breast ' (W ' do, 5
is frequently used in the sense of putting);

' he darts arrows at his enemy ' ; 4fd$ft T^t Mf^^H 'the jfiah
entered the river ' ; ^HlM^f^fa 1 T'f^ Mf^lff* ' he set out for
a neighbouring town ' ;. 7f Rl^^ldl^*!^ " he struck him on the
head.'

Secondary applications of this loc. are the following :

a. It expresses the person or object towards which an action
is directed or to which it refers =r ' towards/ 'about,' 'with
regard to 9 ; e. g. lUlUI*} ^TT $$( HT^PTt 'the good shoAV
compassion towards animate beings'; 3TO ^fo^qj ^f\^ 'be
courteous to your attendants '; ^% (q^^$t 'they are disputing
about a field/

b. Concurrently with the dat (and geii.) it expresses the in-
direct object with verbs of giving, telling, promising, buying,
selling (cp, 200 A I a; 202, iff); e.g.*ugtai^ nlq^ltt 'having
promised (it) to Indra ' ; !H<H fl*)*l VRfff * having sold
himself to a rich man' ; fi|d<f?f 3^* TTTl| f^WT^'a teacher
imparts knowledge to an intelligent pupil.'

198 LOCATIVE vii 205

c. Concurrently with, the dat. (200 B i, 2), it may express the aim
of an action with words expressive of striving after, resolving on,
matting for, of appointing, choosing, enjoining, permitting, of being
able or fit for; e.g. 4l4o3Vlk *[Kil SJ^J 'an enemy prepared
for the appropriation of all property ' ; 4*ff(U qtj'S ' he appointed
(him) to a task' ; jrf?ff K*n+1HJ cf^ 'she chose him for her
husband'; ^*l^*ltK^&Mil J^U^ 'he is incapable of
supplying food for us*; 3<8l*l*4UfM TRffi "flRtl^ ^SRt 'the
sovereignty even of the three worlds is fitting for him.' A predi-
cative loc. alone ia capable of expressing fitness ; e. g. *iqU"
' sovereignty befits a man who is en-

dowed with worldly wisdom, liberality, and heroism. 1 The loc.
is sometimes used with verbs which do not in themselves imply
an aim, to express the object gained as the result of an action;
e. g. ^4fill ?f*?T flftft 3 !^ ' he kills the panther for the sake of
(obtaining) his skin/

<f. Nouns expressive of desire, devotion, regard, friendship,
confidence, compassion, contempt, neglect, aie often connected
with the loc. (as is also the gen.) of the object to which those
sentiments are directed; e.g.

'my love is, indeed, not towards Sakuntala';
'I have no faith in you'; if

* 'neglect of duties, however small, should not be indulged in/
e. The loc. is similarly used with adjectives or past participles
meaning ' fond of/ ' devoted to,' ' intent on,' and their opposites ;
e.g. *ti4;4q<n *3f^I% TTT* 'women (are)" intent on their own
pleasure only.'

Locative and Genitive Absolute.

205. i. The locative is the usual absolute case in Sanskrit,
and has much the same general application as the Greek genitive

VII 205 LOCATIVE ABSOLUTE 199

and the Lat. ablative absolute ; e.g. 4'^M f^S $as ^
went by*; ^itj ^V||^ ^f ^[7f: 'the cows having been milked,
he departed*; <BR^f ^ifn ?rf%T +Jm4Jl<l) 'she gives ear when
I apeak.'

a. The predicate of the absolute loc. is practically always a
participle ; the only exception being that the part. ^R^ ' being/
is frequently omitted; e.g. *R*f ^l4folf4U: WIT f,fan(\
^ff%T ' how (can there be any) interference with the good in the
performance of their duties, when you (are) their protector? 5

b. The part. ^R^ ' being ' (or its equivalents q<f*4M and feltt)
is often pleonastically added to another absolute part. ; e.g.

'at sunrise, when the owls had

become blind.*

c. The subject is of course always omitted when a past pass.
part, is used impersonally; it is also omitted when the part, is ac-
companied by indeclinable words likelpp^, fTf, V^H? T^
e, g. ?l*U4^lJJl^ 'when consent had been given by him'; Tpj
lfft 'this being the case' (lit. 'it having gone thus*); 7RTT SSl!
^rf^t or ^i^T*l(%?t 'this being done.'

d. The particle Tpf and the noun *ti^ (as latter member of a
compound) may be used after an absolute participle to express
'no sooner than,' 'scarcely when'; e.g.

* scarcely had it dawned, when ';

' no sooner had' his Honour entered, than/

3. The gen. absolute is much less common than the loc.
and more limited in its application. It is restricted to contem-
poraneous actions, the subject being a person and the predicate
a present participle in form or sense. Its meaning may be ren-
dered by 'while,' 'as/ or 'though*; e.g. HW<T\ %
4 wandering about, though I was looking on * ; Tp

ft|7T: * while he was speaking thus, the hunter

200 PARTICIPLES VI1 2 6

remained concealed ' ;

f^rat ' while he was thus reflecting women came there to fetch

water.*

Participles.

206. Participles are constantly used in Sanskrit to qualify the
main action, supplying the place of subordinate clauses. They
may, as in Latin and Greet, express a relative, temporal, causal,
concessive, or hypothetical sense. A final sense is also expressed
by the future participle. All these meanings are inherent in the
participle, without the aid of particles, except that ^rft is usually
added when the sense is concessive.

E. g. mW eflmfcg^ TO; ^rre ' the jackal, being filled
with anger, said to him'; filftxfftjST *1*U*t e naU 1" 'JJlfl
1 though you have been frequently dissuaded by me, you do not
listen to me';

you do not tell, though knowing it, your head will be shattered
to pieces'; dUfaUJ^ rffaf Vi*K*H$(*l<l 'he ran again at
Bhima in order to strike him.'

. Bahuvrihi compounds are very frequently employed in a par-
ticipial sense, the part. *f?^ being omitted; e.g.
being anxious he reflected.'

207. Present Participle. This participle (aa well as a pat
with a present sense) is used with Hlf^l or *lflf?f 'is,' ^BT% *sits, 3
fdfa 'stands,* ^nrt *goes on,* to express continuous action,
like the English * is doing' ; e. g. ^fU^ T'f lRHd*J^i" f^V^^f
5TT Itl^ni ' this is the very forest in which we formerly dwelt
for a long time*; tt^tldlQ 'he keeps eating*; Wl
TnRl 'she is being carefully guarded ' ;
'this pot is filled with porridge. 9

VII 208 PARTICIPLES 2OI

a. The negative of verbs meaning 'to cease* is similarly
construed with a present participle; e.g. f^fft ^PTn^^niT-
' tne lion did aot cease (=kept) slaying the

animals.'

A. Verbs expressing an. emotion such as * to be ashamed/ ' to
endure,' may be accompanied by a pres. part, indicating the eanw
of the emotion; e.g. t^8 t *si<m TR ^^- **re yon not
ashamed of speaking thus ? '

c. A predicative present (or past) part, accompanies the aec,,
or the nom. in the passive construction, "with verbs of seeing,
hearing, knowing, thinking, wishing (cp. 198, i); e.g.
o one saw me entering'; ?BF

* the king one day hmrd oe

one repeating a couple of si okas *;

RisHdli ' many daughter* of royl

are recorded to have been wedded according to the man*$i of
the Gandharvas/

3O8. Past Faxtioipleg. The passive part, in ?I and Hf *dit
form (161 ; 89, n. 3 ) in ^(but hardly ever the pert wst pl
^TO^: 89) are very frequently -used as finite redae (tK
being omitted) ; e.g. T^^^IR. 'this was aaid by to
' he said this/

a. The passive of intransitive v
wise its past participle has an active sense ;
fl^JT^'l stood there for a longtime 1 ;
.to the Ganges ' ; ^[ irf^T ^H l he died on U *y/ ^^
Jb. Some past participles in ?! have both * pftT* w9 "
tive active sense ;-e. g. TTO 'obtained' ^
Ht^re ' entered (by) ' and 'having entered 1 ;
'having drunk'; t^I 'forgotten* *I

202 PAB1TOIPLES VI I 209

'divided' and 'having divided'; JT^f 'begotten 1 and
'having borne* (f.); ^l^fc 'ridden,' &c., and riding/ &o.

c. The past participles in T never seem to occur with a transi-
tive active meaning.

209. Future Participles Passive. These (162) express
necessity, obligation, fitness, probability. The construction is
the same as with the past pass. part. ; e.g.

*I must needs go to another country* j
* m mtlst not (= do not ) kill me, king'; Hfl$|*Ufr

: 'then he too will surely make a noise.'
Occasionally the fut. pass. part, has a purely future sense ;

ease by the strength of your wings/

A. ^RW^and m^(from 3j'be J ) are used impersonally
to express necessity or high probability. The adjective or sub-
stantive of the predicate agrees with the subject in the inatr. ;
a-g- H*U ^r^f^n^f JrfiRfcqn 'she must be ( = is most
probably) near'; TO HTfipft ^T fTf7fT XHM^ 'the
strength of that animal must be very great. 1

2IO.TheIiideclinableParticiple(aeriind)nearly always
expresses that an action is completed before another begins
(rarely that it is simultaneous). Referring to the grammatical
or the virtual subject of the main action, it generally agrees with
tta nom., or, in the passive construction, with the instr., but
oocwionally with other cases also ;-e.g. * JTOTO * *m: ' having

'then he throwing himself upon him
with

ie love increased as soon as he had seen the
iwwtly smiling maiden ' {^7 agrees with

' withaverbal

PARTICIPLES 203

noun ; e. g. 1ft fvf\ fW f *l?tn^ * what would you gain
by killing a poor man like me ? * This use represents the original
sense of the form as an old instrumental of a verbal noun.

b. Having the full value of inflected participles, it may
express the various logical relations of the latter, and may even
be accompanied, like thereby ^ff%, f^ft, ^ft to expitssa
continuous action; e. g. ^JKl^rflfl *nfa 'he is the foie-
most of all the townsmen.*

c. A number of gerunds are equivaleDt in sense to preposi-
tions (179).

</. The original instr. nature of the gerund is preserved in its
employment with fcPH. or ^W^ or with a general subject ex-
pressed by the impersonal passive construction; e.g.
* what (gain accrues) to yon by concealing ? '

'have done with going to the forest';

' if -one goes to heaven by killing animals/

Infinitive.

This frequent form expresses the aim of an action and
may in general be used wherever the dative of purpose is employed
(200 B) . It differs from the dative of an ordinary verbal noun solely
in governing its object in the ace, instead of the gen.; e.g. 7f 5&1J
^Inn ' he strives to conquer him 5 =q*$i ^tcjj^t **nd he strives
for the conquering of him.' It preserves its original ace. sense
inasmuch as it is used as the direct object of verbs (e. g. ^TT^
^W^ 'he obtains a bathe'), and cannot be employed as the sub-
ject of a sentence. Verbal nouns usually aupply its place as the
subject; e.g. ^ ^T*f ^f *J Mfailfi 'ghuig (= to give) is better
than receiving' (= to receive). The construction of the soc* with
the infinitive is unknown to Sanskrit, its place beiag supplied,
with verbs of saying, &c. f by oraiio recta -with ^ffl {i&>}, or
otherwise by the use of a predicative ace. (198, l and 207 c).

204 INFINITIVE VII an

The infinitive may be used with substantives (e. g. ' time, 1
'opportunity'), adjectives ('fit/ 'capable '), as well as verbs (e.g.
* be able/ ' wish/ ' begin ') ; e.g. TW ^BTOt R^faiJH, 'this
is not the time to delay ' ;
'this is an opportunity to show yourself;

f who (is) able to escape from what is written
on his forehead (by fate)? 5 ^ ?^f Ujp^ ^tt*Rr* 'I have come
(inorder) toask you'; 4qRl<j i(*)ffl 'he is able to tell';

wished to make.'

The ?. and 3. sing. ind. of ^f| 'deserve' are used with an
infinitive in the sense of a polite imperative= please/ 'deign to' ;
' will your Honour please to hear me ? *

& Tha infinitive, after dropping its final ^ s may be formed

into a Bahuvrlhi compound (189) with ITRT 'desire/ or *H4^

mind/ in the sense of wishing or having a mind to do what the

verb expresses ; e. g . g^^TR: 'desirous of seeing'; fil ^pTTT

fTP^ l what do yon intend to say ? '

c. There being no pawdTeform of the infinitive in Sanskrit,
verb* governing the infin. are put in the passive in order to give

be taught morality by me ' ;

'a hut (was) begun to be erected
by him/

* The fnt part. pass. ITWa'ak-ya may either agree with the
or b* put in the neat. sing.;-~e.g. if

VII 213 TENSES 205

TEUTSES AND MOODS

Present.

212. The use of this tense is much the same as in English.
But the following differences should be noted:

i. In narration the historical present is more commonly
used than in English, especially to express the durative sense
(which the Sanskrit imperfect lacks); e.g.
' Damanaka asked, " How was it ? "

1 f*l% ^faffi ' Hiranyaka, having taken his food, used to
sleep in his hole. 1

formerly/ is sometimes added to this present ; e. g.
WTfa ' I formerly used to live in a certain

tree.' The particle ^ (which in the older language frequently
accompanied ^T, and thus acquired its meaning when alone) is
much more frequently used thus; e.g. ^

'in a certain place a weaver
named Somilaka used to live.'

b. The present is used to express the immediate past; e,g,
"^n&m ^Hl^lfil ' here I come/ i, e. ' I have just come/
a. The present also expresses the near future, IJ^T 'soon* and
* (180) heing sometimes added; e.g. Tffl|
'then leaving the bow, I am off*;
' therefore I will just send Satrughna/

. With interrogatives it implies a donht as to future action;
e.g. ffc *Of*C 'what shall I do ? '

b. It may express an exhortation to perform an action at once ;
e. g- *ff^ ^ppfa Mft^l^: 'then we (will) enter (s= let us enter)
the house.'

Fast Taiumu

213, All the three past tenses, imperfect, perfect, and aorist,
besides the past participles ia fl t and W(^ ta-vat (and the
hi storical pres ent) , are used promiscuously to express the historical

206 PAST TENSES - FtJTUKB VI J 214

or remote past, applying equally to facia which happened only
once, or were repeated or continuous.

tf. The perfect is properly restricted to the statement of facts
of the remote past, not coming within the experience of the
speaker. The i. and 2. sing, are therefore very rare.

A The imperfect, in addition to describing the historical past,
states past facts of which the speaker himself has been a witness.

c. The aorist has (along with the participles in 7f and TWfO
the special sense of the present perfect, being therefore appropriate
in dialogues; e.g. ^H'Ulf^mdlglMlY $ *J^Hq: 'my
desire has obtained sweet fulfilment ' ; |jwf
'

' I have bestowed tibe sovereignty on you * ; cf <ggqMHfl ' I have
seen him.*

^ <f. The aorist (very rarely the imperfect) without the augment
is used imperatively with Wt (215 e and 180).

e. .As there is no pluperfect in Sanskrit, its sense (to be inferred
from the context) has to be expressed by the other past tenses
or the gerund, or occasionally by a past participle with an auxiliary
verb.

Future.

214. The simple future is a general tense, referring to any
fctoe action, while the periphrastic future, which is much less
frequently employed, is restricted to the remote future. Both can
therefore often be employed in describing the same action, and
they frequently interchange.

. The future is sometimes used in an imperative sense, when

n

go, my dear, but first hear my request.'
Imperative.

215- Besides the ordinary injunctive or exhortative sense, this
mood lias some special uses.

VII 2i6 rMPEKATIVE-^ OPTATIVE 207

a. The first persons, which are survivals of old subjunctive
forms, may be translated by ' will ' or * let ' ; e. g.

'his brother said, "Let us play" '5 ^ *T*nftT'l will
make/

b. The 3, sing. pass, is commonly used as a polite imperative
instead of the 2. pers. act.; e.g. ^T^dW/Sire, P ra 7 listen! '
(cp. 211 a).

c. The imperative may be used, instead of an optative or
benedictive, to express a wish or blessing ; e. g. f^TC ^fa * may
you live long'; ftpfT^, % tRJT*tt ^ * may your .paths be
auspicious * =' Godspeed.*

<f. It may express possibility or doubt, especially with inter-
rogatives; e, g. f*R *Rf?[ *TT TT^ ^l^l^1M\ WNT^ ' whether
there be poison or not, the swelling of a serpent's hood is
terrifying' ; iri^J *RT^T ajft 'who on earth would believe it ? '
fo*f^M <K,^T*I *what should we do now? *

e. The imperative with the prohibitive particle JFTT is somewhat
rare, its place being commonly supplied by the unaugmented aor.
(213 d)> by the opt. wither, or TO^and flfW^with the instr. (180).

Optative or Potential.

2l6. Besides its proper function this mood also expresses the
various shades of meaning appropriate to the subjunctive (which
has become obsolete in Sanskrit).

i. In principal sentence* it expresses the following mean-
ings: ^

a wish (often with the particle "fTPf added); e.g.
/0 that I could see Bama here!

t>. possibility or doubt;-e.g.
haps he may be awakened by the lowing of the cows';

'kings can see through the eye of their

208 OPTATIVE - BENEDICTTVE VII 217

spies'; Tpfc f-*Ud TT f*llf^g<, *JWt V^RTT 'the arrow
shot by an archer may hit an individual, or may not hit him.'

c. probability, being often equivalent to a future; e.g. ^T
1RTT *rnf f?[%<^/ this girl (is not likely to=) will not stay hare.'

d. exhortation or precept ; e. g. <Fm^ J4lJ * do you act thus ' ;
^MIMc^f \PT \tjc^ ' one should save wealth against calamity/

a. The optative is used in the following kinds of subordinate
clauses :

a. in general relative classes ; e. g. qu<?irfn*l*i<l| ^^ ^t
f Jf'lTTf *JJTf?T 'the king who (= every king who) does not
neglect the time for the payment of salaries.*

b. in final clauses ('in order that') ; e.g. *Ufc^ % ^f *TO
qtl^+l/ indicate to me the pkce where I am to live* (=tbat I
may live there).

c. in consequential clauses ('so that*); e.g. ^ET HfO *in ee il
^ IT *l(iti^^f^ ' (only) such a burden should be borne as
may not weigh a man down.'

d. in the protasis (as well as the apodosis) of hypothetical
clauses, with the sense of the Lat. present (possible condition)
or imperfect (impossible condition) subjunctive (cp. 218);
e -g- *rf?[ ^ ^TTH *KMfJf^ t%9%?T *Ht\T W*tt ' if there were
not a king, the state would founder like a ship. 9

Beuedictive or Frecative.

aiy. This rare form (150), a kind of aorist optative, is properly
restricted to the expression of blessings, or, in the first person, of
the speaker's wish ; e. g. TK*Ufl4T $?Ttt * mayst thou gire birth
to a warrior* ; feh 11*41 *J*4ltf*^'may I become successful/ The
imperative is also employed in this sense (215 c). In a few rare

VII 218 CONDITIONAL 209

cases the benedictive is indistinguishable in meaning from an
imperative or an ordinary optative ; e.g. ^ ^ WTO 'do
ye proclaim this speech ' ; 1 f$ M4J$u(i

'for I do not perceive what should drive any my sorrow.'

Conditional.

2l8. The conditional, as its form (an indicative past of ibe
future) veil indicates, is properly used to express a past condition,
the unreality of which is implied, and is equivalent to the
pluperfect (conditional) suhjunctive in Latin or English, or tie
aorifit indicative, used conditionally, in Greek. It is employed
in both protasis and apodosis; e.g. ^W^R^i $'**
' if there had been abundant rain, there would law

been no famine,' If a potential is used in the protect con-
ditional in the apodosis may acquire the sense of a hypotiietiotl
present (= imperf. suhjunctive) j-e.

inflict punishment, the strong would roast the weak like
a spit.'

APPENDIX II

METRE IN CLASSICAL SANSKRIT

The versification of classical Sanskrit differs considerably from
that rf the Vedic hymns, being more artificial, more subject to
strict rules, and showing a far greater number of varieties of metre.

Classical Sanskrit metres are divided into

I. those measured by the number of syllables;

II. those measured by the number of morae they contain.
Nearly all Sanskrit poetry is written in stanzas consisting of

four metrical lines or quarter- versea (called pada, 'foot's: quarter).
These stanzas are regularly divided into hemistichs or half-.versea.
Quantity is measured as in Latin and Greek. Vowels are long
by nature or by position. Two consonants make a preceding short
vowel long by position, Anumra and Visarga counting as full
consonants. A short vowel counts -as one mora (matru), a long
vowel (by nature or position) aa two.

X. Metres ueaiured by Syllable*
(Akfara^chandah).

These consist of

A. two half-verses identical in structure, while the quarter-
verws i and 3 differ from 2 and 4.

B. four tiBarter-vewea all identical in structure*

A. The &loka.

The Sloka (' song, 1 from sru, ' hear '), developed from the Vedio
Anusjnbh, is the Epic verse, and may be considered the Indian

METRE IN CLASSICAL SANSKRIT 233

verse par excellence, occurring, as it does, far more frequently
than any other metre in classical Sanskrit poetry. It consists of
two half-verses of sixteen syllables or of four padas of ei^bt
syllables.

Dividing the half -verse into four feet of four syllables, ire find
that only the second and the fourth foot are determined 4s to
quantity. The fourth is necessarily iambic (^ - w *), while tibe
second may assume four different forms. The first and the third
foot are undetermined, except that ^ ^ v ^ i* always excluded
from them. By far the commonest form of the second foot U
w ^ (in Nala 1442 out of 1732 half- verses).

The type of the Slota may therefore be represented t3

and Bilhana, each of the fofir ftdmirffete
above order claims the foBoiriiig afeaw:

234 APPENDIX II

In the table a dot indicates an undetermined syllable: a comma
marks the caesura.

The end of a pada coincides with the end of a word (sometimes
only with the end of a word in a compound), and the whole Sloka
contains a complete sentence. The construction does not run on
into the next line. Occasionally three half-verses are found
combined into a triplet.

B. An Four Pada* identical in Form.

i. Of the numerous varieties developed from the Vedic Tri-

(n syllables to the pada}, the commonest are
A Indravajra : -- w [ -- w ] w w | -- fl
A. Upendravajra :w-w| -- w| w v\ -- j[

A.!

(Matra-chandafc).

The Vaitaliya contains 30 wwnw in the half-verse, 14 ib the
first pada, 16 in the second. Each pada may be divided into
three feet, the second always consiating of a choriambus, and the
third of two iambics ; while the first foot in the fiwt p5da consists
of a pyrrhic, in the second p5da of an anapaest. The half-verse
thus contains 21 syllables. The following is the scheme of the
half-verse;

wwl-vw-l^-w^Jl^v-j-wv-lvj-w^Jl
B, Metres in which the number of marae in each foot (gaija)
is specified (Gana-cchandab).

Arya or Gatha has 7} feet to the half-verse, each foot con-
taining 4 morae (= 30 morae altogether). The 4 morue may take
the form w w u \j y -- > w v, or v o j in the 2nd and 4th
they may also become w u ; in the 6th they appear as v w w o
or w - v. The 8th foot is always monosyllabic; the 6th of &e
second half-verse consists of a single short syllable. Hence the
second half-verse contains only 27

CHIEF PECULIARITIES OF VEDIC GRAMMAR

1. As several stages can be distinguished in the development
of the Vedic language, some of the following- statements are
strictly applicable only to the Rig-veda, the oldest and most
important monument of Vedic literature.

The Alphabet.

2. The sounds are tie same as in Sanskrit, with the exception
of two additional letters. Cerebral ^ d and ^ dh between vowels
regularly become cerebral 3, 1 and Sg lh ; e. g. fjjfe a<J= f^ Ide',
'I praise'; M\af minuses tftnudhu'se, 'to the bountiful.'

Sandhi

3. A. Vowels. Hiatus is not avoided either within a word,
or between the members of a compound, or between the words
of a sentence; and, in particular, initial a after e and o (21 a) is
only occasionally elided ;-e. g. suriasya, ' of the sun ' ; au-aBviam,
wealth in horses' ; Vaninasya Agn& ' of Varuna (and) Agni ' ;
bhf eti, 'he goes towards '; vfpro aksarat, 'the priest poured out. 5
* The e of the pronominal forms (dat., loc.) tve", 'to or in thee,'
M4 to or in ns/ yusm^, 'to or in you,' remains unchanged
before Towels; as doee the final o produced by the coalescence of
tte particle u, as in atho (ithan), m<5 (m|j,), n6 (n&).
The final syllables an, In, un, rn are treated

they were am, (cp ^ fi ^ ^ ^ .

CHIEF PECULIARITIES OF VEDIC GRAMMAR 23?

i.e, an becomes am (except in tbe 3. pi. subjunctive, ^bere it
represents an original ant), while In, un, fn become ink, uBr,
rmr; e.g. mabam asi, 'tbou art great* (fait a gacchan tittar&
yugani, 'later agea will come'); rasmimr iva, 'like reins.*

*. Sometimes rules which in Sanskrit apply internally only, are
extended to the initials of words ; e. g. sah6 sti nab (cp. 67).

Declension.

4. A. findings. Singular, a. Instr. S is sometimes added
to stems in a, leas commonly to feminines in a;- e.g. ya-jfi^ m -
'sacrifice/ instn yajftena and yajfla; manisa, f. 'wisdom, 1 inatr.
mantsiiya and manlsa. The a of ena is also often lengthened.

Stems m -man sometimes do not syncopate tbe vowel of the
suffix, while when they do, the m or the n is occasionally dropped ;
e. ?. bhu-miina and bhu-n-a for bhu-mn-a ; dra^h-m-^for

lioc. Stems in i take a, though less commonly than au ;
e. g. agnf, m. 'fire/ loc. agniu itnd agna.

Stems in -an usually drop the i; e.g* bn&mani and brahman.
They never syncopate the a. of the suffix; e.g. rajani on y
(cp. 90).

c. Voe. Stems in -mat, -vat, -vas, -yas regularly form their
vocative in -as ; e. g. nom. bhanuman : voc. bhinumas ; harivan :
harivas; cakrvan: cdkrvas; kiniyan: kaniyas.

Dual. a. The nom. ace. voc. take 5 mm usually than au -
e.g. asvlnS, 'the two Asvins'; dvara, i 'the two door*'; 3 ~
1 the two rivers.* Femininea in derivative I reanain
e. g. devf, *the two goddesMfi/

b. The personal pronouns of tbe i. ttsd a.
cases ; e. g. N. yuv&n ; A. yuvam ; *
Ab. ynv^d ; L. yuv6s.

238 APPENDIX III

Plural. BTom. & Masculine stems in -a often (feminines
in -a rarely) take asas beside as ; e.g. martyasab, 'mortals.'

b. Feminine stems in derivative I take s only; e.g. devflt,
' goddesses/

c. Neuters take a, T, u (sometimes shortened to &, i, u) as well
as 5ni, ini, uni; e. g. yuga, 'yokes ' (cp, Lat. juga, Gk. (vyd).

Instr. Steins in -a take ebhis nearly as often as ais ; e. g.
dev^bhih and dev&b.

B. Inflexional Type, The main difference in type of
declension is in the polysyllabic stems (mostly feminines, with a
few masculines) in T and u, a considerable number of which are
inflected like the monosyllabic stems dhl and bhu(ioo), excepting
the gen. pi., where they take nam. (Stems in derivative I other-
wise for the most part follow nadl and vadhu as in Sanskrit; 100.)

Conjugation.

5* Augment, a. This prefix is in some cases permanently
long, in others metrically ; e. g. a-var, 3. sg. aoiiflt of vr, f he
has covered'; a-raik, 3. eg. aorist of ric, 'she has given up.'

it. The augment can always be dropped without changing the
meaning. Unaugmented forms are, however, often used as in-
junctives : this use has survived in Sanskrit with the prohibitive
particle ma (128 a).

6. Verbal Prefixes. These generally precede, but sometime**
follow the verb. They can be separated from it by particles and
other words ;-. g. tvS visantu, ' let them enter thee ' ; gtfmad
vajebhir a s na^i, * may he come to us with riches.'

7* Ending*. . The primary termination of the I. p*rs. pi.
active, -ma*i, is much commoner than -mas ; e. g. i-masi and
i-mas,'wego.'

ft. In the 2. pi. th.ana and -tana often occur beside -tha and
*ta ; e. g, ya-thi and ya-thana, 'ye go' ; y5-t^ and ya-ttfoa, 'do
ye go/

c. The 2. sg. Impv. has a not uncommon alternative ending in
-tat (added to the weak stem), which expresses an injunction to
be carried out in the future ; raksa-tSt, * protect f ; bru-t5t, *ay * ;
dhat-tat, ' place ' (cp. Gk. ^cpc-r, Lat. lege-tdd). It is sometimes
"used for the 2. du. and pl, t or i. and 3* sg.

f. The 3. pers. sg, pres. middle {like the perf. middle, 136) is not

uncommonly identical with the i.; e.g. stfy-e, 'ne Kes* (=ee^e}.

8. Reduplication. Many roots reduplicate with a long TOWC!

&. The periphrastic future does not exist ; the periphrastic
perfect is not known to the Rig-veda.

IO. Moods, a. There is a subjunctive, which is much com-
moner than the optative. Its meaning is imperative or final; it
is also often equivalent to a future indicative. Its stem is formed
"by adding -a to ihe tense stem. Tn the a-conjugation it therefore
endd in a ; e. g. bh&va*. la the second conjugation -a is added to
the strong stem, which remains throughout ; e. g. from Icr, * do * :
krnay-a. The endings are partly primary, partly secondary.
Thus the subjunctive of bhu, ' be/ and suppress out, 9 are formed
as follows:

Par. i. bhva-ni

2. bha*va-si, bh&va-s

3. bhtfva-ti, bhava-t

Accent.

15* The accent is marked in all the texts of the four Vedas, as
well as in two Brahmanas. Of the four different systems of
marking it, that of the Eig--veda is the most important. Here
the ohief accent, the acute (udatta, 'raised*), or rising tone, in
not marked at all, probably because it comes midway between the
grave or low tone (an-nd&tta) which precedes, and the rrarita,
or felling tone, which follows it and marks the transition from an
accented to a toneless syllable. The amidatta preceding the acute
is marked with a horizontal stroke below, and the svarita following
it, with a vertical stroke above ; e. g. llfrl t ag-nl-na*. The
Bo-oaHed independent svarita (originally also preceded by an acute,
which disappears by removal of hiatus in the written text, but
nas often to be restored in pronunciation) is marked like the
enclitic onei^e.g. jjf kvfc (=ktia); the anudatta being also indi-
cated onder the preceding syllable ; e.g.^^f^viryam (=vlrfam).
If an independent svarita precedes an udatta it is marked with
tfee numeral <| (i) w ten the syllable is short/ with $ (3) when it
