Today we will look at the formation of the word वारि from the following verse in the रामायणम् –

किमर्थं तव नेत्राभ्यां वारि स्रवति शोकजम् |
पुण्डरीकपलाशाभ्यां विप्रकीर्णमिवोदकम् ||  5.33.4

वारि (नपुंसकलिङ्गम्) gets the प्रातिपदिक-संज्ञा by   1-2-45 अर्थवदधातुरप्रत्ययः प्रातिपदिकम्

विवक्षा here is to derive the प्रथमा-एकवचनम्

By the सूत्रम् 4-1-2 स्वौजसमौट्छस्टाभ्याम्भिस्ङेभ्याम्भ्यस्ङसिभ्याम्भ्यस्ङसोसाम्ङ्योस्सुप्‌

प्रत्यय: सुँ is mandated

1. वारि + सुँ

2. वारि         since सुँ takes the लुक् deletion by 7-1-23 स्वमोर्नपुंसकात्‌ ।

Questions:

1. Why did 7-1-24 अतोऽम्  not apply in this example?

2. When a लुक् deletion takes place the entire प्रत्यय: is removed. Which सूत्रम् tells this?

3. In the above verse identify the other word which has the same meaning as वारि.

4. Where is the सूत्रम् 7-3-102 सुपि च used in this verse? Where is 6-1-87 आद्गुणः used?

5. For this verse, the translation from Gita Press is “Wherefore are tears born of grief trickling from your eyes like (drops of) water falling from a pair of lotus leaves?” Which word in the verse translates to “from a pair of lotus leaves”?

6. From where does the अनुवृत्ति: of “लुक्” come into 7-1-23 स्वमोर्नपुंसकात्‌?

7. Where is the सूत्रम् 7-1-23 स्वमोर्नपुंसकात्‌ used in Chapter 2 (between verses 15 to 20) of the गीता?

8. What is the purpose of using the उकार: as an इत् in the प्रत्यय: सुँ?

9. In the सूत्रम् 7-1-23 स्वमोर्नपुंसकात्‌ how do we know that “सु” refers to the प्रथमैकवचनम् (सुँ) and not the सप्तमी-बहुवचनम् (सुप्)? The answer is given by the न्यास: commentary as follows – “सु” इति यद्यपि सप्तमीबहुवचनमस्ति, तथाप्यमा द्वितीयैकवचनेन साहचर्यात्प्रथमैकवचनमेव गृह्यते।” Please explain what this means.

10. The सूत्रम् 7-1-23 स्वमोर्नपुंसकात्‌ belongs to the “अङ्गस्य” अधिकार: . From where to where in the अष्टाध्यायी does पाणिनि: run this अधिकार:?

11. Which is the longest अधिकार: in the अष्टाध्यायी?
