Today we will look at the form जुह्वति 3Ap-लँट् from श्रीमद्भागवतम् Sb7-15-9.

एके कर्ममयान्यज्ञान्ज्ञानिनो यज्ञवित्तमाः ।
आत्मसंयमनेऽनीहा जुह्वति ज्ञानदीपिते ।। ७-१५-९ ।।

Gita Press translation “(That is why) some wise men, (who are) foremost among the knowers of the truth about sacrifices and free from desire offer sacrifices consisting of rituals into the fire of self-control kindled by Knowledge (of the Self). (That is to say, they completely withdraw themselves from external rituals.)”

जुह्वति is derived from the धातुः √हु (हु दानादनयोः । आदाने चेत्येके । प्रीणनेऽपीति भाष्यम्, जुहोत्यादि-गणः, धातु-पाठः #३. १)

The विवक्षा is लँट्, कर्तरि प्रयोगः, प्रथम-पुरुषः, बहुवचनम्।

In the धातु-पाठः, the √हु-धातुः has no इत् letters. It is devoid of any indications for bringing in आत्मनेपद-प्रत्यया:। Therefore, as per 1-3-78 शेषात् कर्तरि परस्मैपदम्, the √हु-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 √हु-धातुः can take only one of these nine प्रत्यया: in कर्तरि प्रयोग:। Since the विवक्षा is प्रथम-पुरुष-बहुवचनम्, the प्रत्यय: will be “झि”।

(1) हु + लँट् । By 3-2-123 वर्तमाने लट् – the affix लँट् comes after a धातुः when denoting an action in the present tense.

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

(3) हु + झि । 3-4-78 तिप्तस्झिसिप्थस्थमिब्वस्मस् तातांझथासाथांध्वमिड्वहिमहिङ् mandates the प्रत्ययः “झि” as the substitute for the लकारः। “झि” gets the सार्वधातुक-सञ्ज्ञा by 3-4-113 तिङ्शित्सार्वधातुकम् – The affixes of the तिङ्-प्रत्याहारः and the affixes that have शकारः as an इत् get the designation of सार्वधातुकम् if they are prescribed in the “धातो:” अधिकार:।

(4) हु + शप् + झि । 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.

(5) हु + झि । By 2-4-75 जुहोत्यादिभ्यः श्लुः – the “शप”-प्रत्यय: following the verbal roots “हु” etc. gets “श्लु” (elision).

(6) हु + हु + झि । By 6-1-10 श्लौ – A verbal root when followed by “श्लु” gets reduplicated.

(7) झु + हु + झि । By 7-4-62 कुहोश्चुः – in reduplication (अभ्यासः), a letter of the कवर्गः or हकारः is replaced by a letter of the चवर्गः । The substitutions take place as per 1-1-50 स्थानेऽन्तरतमः।
(क्, ख्, ग्, घ्, ङ्, ह्) are replaced by (च्, छ्, ज्, झ्, ञ्, झ्) respectively.
See question 2.

(8) झु हु + अत् इ । By 7-1-4 अदभ्यस्तात्‌ – the झकारः of a प्रत्ययः that follows a reduplicated root is substituted by ‘अत्’। ‘झुहु’ gets अभ्यस्तसञ्ज्ञा by 6-1-5 उभे अभ्यस्तम् – the double words that result due to the doubling done using the rules of the sixth chapter (from 6-1-1 एकाचो द्वे प्रथमस्य to 6-1-12 दाश्वान् साह्वान् मीढ्वांश्च), together get the अभ्यस्तम् designation.
See easy question 2.

(9) झुह् व् + अत् इ । By 6-4-87 हुश्नुवोः सार्वधातुके – the वकारः is the replacement for उकारः of the √हु-धातुः or for the उकारः at the end of an अङ्गम् that is अनेकाच् (has more than one vowel) and ends in the श्नु-प्रत्यय:, provided
i) a conjunct consonant does not precede the उकारः।
ii) a सार्वधातुक-प्रत्ययः beginning with a vowel follows the उकारः।
See question 3.

(10) जुह्वति । By 8-4-54 अभ्यासे चर्च् – in reduplication (अभ्यासः), a letter of the झल्-प्रत्याहारः is substituted by a letter of the चर्-प्रत्याहारः or जश्-प्रत्याहारः। The substitutions take place as per 1-1-50 स्थानेऽन्तरतमः।
