Today we will look at the form पिब 2As-लोँट् from श्रीमद्वाल्मीकि-रामायणम् 5-20-35.

पिब विहर रमस्व भुङ्क्ष्व भोगान् धननिचयं प्रदिशाभि मेदिनीं च ।
मयि लल ललने यथासुखं त्वं त्वयि च समेत्य ललन्तु बान्धवास्ते ।। ५-२०-३५ ।।

Gita Press translation “(Therefore) drink, sport, revel and enjoy pleasures. Bestow (on your relatives) the (immense) store of wealth (that you will own from now onwards) as well as the earth (that will now be yours). Enjoy your life according to your pleasure, depending on me, O beloved one, and, reaching your presence, let your relatives (too) enjoy life.”

पिब is derived from the धातुः √पा (भ्वादि-गणः, पा पाने, धातु-पाठः #१. १०७४ )

The विवक्षा is लोँट्, कर्तरि प्रयोग:, मध्यम-पुरुषः, एकवचनम्।

In the धातु-पाठः, the √पा-धातुः has no इत् letter. It is devoid of any indications for bringing in आत्मनेपद-प्रत्यया:। Therefore, as per 1-3-78 शेषात् कर्तरि परस्मैपदम्, the √पा-धातुः, in कर्तरि प्रयोग:, will take the परस्मैपद-प्रत्यया: by default. As per 1-4-99 लः परस्मैपदम्, 1-4-100 तङानावात्मनेपदम्, the nine प्रत्यया: from “तिप्” to “मस्” get the परस्मैपद-सञ्ज्ञा। So √पा-धातुः can take only one of these nine प्रत्यया: in कर्तरि प्रयोग:। Since the विवक्षा is मध्यम-पुरुष-एकवचनम्, the प्रत्यय: will be “सिप्”।

(1) पा + लोँट् । By 3-3-162 लोट् च , the affix लोँट् comes after a धातुः when used in the sense of command/request.

(2) पा + ल् । अनुबन्ध-लोपः by 1-3-2 उपदेशेऽजनुनासिक इत्, 1-3-3 हलन्त्यम्, 1-3-9 तस्य लोपः।

(3) पा + सिप् । 3-4-78 तिप्तस्झिसिप्थस्थमिब्वस्मस् तातांझथासाथांध्वमिड्वहिमहिङ् mandates the प्रत्ययः “सिप्” as the substitute for the लकारः। “सिप्” gets the सार्वधातुक-सञ्ज्ञा by 3-4-113 तिङ्शित्सार्वधातुकम्।

(4) पा + सि। अनुबन्ध-लोपः by 1-3-3 हलन्त्यम् and 1-3-9 तस्य लोपः।

(5) पा + हि । By 3-4-87 सेर्ह्यपिच्च , सि of लोँट् is substituted by हि and it is an अपित्। हि also gets सार्वधातुक-सञ्ज्ञा by 1-1-56 स्थानिवदादेशोऽनल्विधौ ।

(6) पा + शप् + हि । By 3-1-68 कर्तरि शप्, the शप्-प्रत्यय: is placed after a verbal root, when followed by a सार्वधातुक-प्रत्यय: that is used signifying the agent. The शप्-प्रत्यय: which is a शित्, gets सार्वधातुक-सञ्ज्ञा by 3-4-113 तिङ्शित्सार्वधातुकम्।

(7) पिब + शप् + हि । By 7-3-78 पाघ्राध्मास्थाम्नादाण्दृश्यर्त्तिसर्त्तिशदसदां पिबजिघ्रधमतिष्ठमनयच्छपश्यर्च्छधौशीयसीदाः – when followed by a प्रत्ययः which begins with शकार: as an इत्, the verbal roots “√पा, √घ्रा, √ध्मा, √स्था, √म्ना, √दाण्, √दृश्, √ऋ, √सृ, √शद् and √सद्” get “पिब, जिघ्र, धम, तिष्ठ, मन, यच्छ, पश्य, ऋच्छ, धौ, शीय and सीद” as replacements respectively. See question 3 and easy question 1.

(8) पिब + अ + हि । अनुबन्ध-लोपः by 1-3-3 हलन्त्यम् , 1-3-8 लशक्वतद्धिते , 1-3-9 तस्य लोपः ।

(9) पिब हि । By 6-1-97 अतो गुणे, in the place of a अकार: which not at the end of a पदम्, and the following गुण: letter, there is single substitute of the latter (the गुण: letter.)

(10) पिब । By 6-4-105 अतो हेः, there is a लुक् elision of the affix हि when it follows an अङ्गम् ending in a अकार:। See question 4.
