Today we will look at the form जायन्ते 3Ap-लँट् from श्रीमद्भागवतम् Sb9-7-13.

पशोर्निपतिता दन्ता यजस्वेत्याह सोऽब्रवीत् ।
यदा पशोः पुनर्दन्ता जायन्तेऽथ पशुः शुचिः ।। ९-७-१३ ।।

Gita Press translation – (On the teeth having fallen), Varuṇa (appeared once more and) said, “The teeth of the prospective victim have (already) fallen, (please) worship me (now).” (To this) Hariścandra replied, “When the teeth of the prospective victim sprout again, then (alone) is the prospective victim (regarded as) sacred.”

जायन्ते is derived from the धातुः √जन् (दिवादि-गणः, जनीँ प्रादुर्भावे, धातु-पाठः # ४. ४४)

In the धातु-पाठः, the √जन्-धातुः has one इत् letter which is the ईकार: following the नकार:। This इत् letter has a अनुदात्त-स्वर:। Thus by 1-3-12 अनुदात्तङित आत्मनेपदम्, √जन्-धातुः will get आत्मनेपद-प्रत्ययाः। As per 1-4-100 तङानावात्मनेपदम्, the nine प्रत्यया: from “त” to “महिङ्” get the आत्मनेपद-सञ्ज्ञा। So √जन्-धातुः can take only one of these nine प्रत्यया: in कर्तरि प्रयोग:।

The विवक्षा is प्रथम-पुरुष-बहुवचनम्, therefore the प्रत्यय: will be “झ”।

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

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

(3) जन् + झ । 3-4-78 तिप्तस्झिसिप्थस्थमिब्वस्मस् तातांझथासाथांध्वमिड्वहिमहिङ् mandates the प्रत्ययः “झ” as the substitute for the लकारः। “झ” 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) जन् + झे । By 3-4-79 टित आत्मनेपदानां टेरे, the टि-भागः of a आत्मनेपद-प्रत्ययः which substitutes a टित्-लकारः (a लकार: which has टकार: as a इत्), gets एकारः as the replacement.

(5) जन् + श्यन् + झे । By 3-1-69 दिवादिभ्यः श्यन् , the श्यन्-प्रत्यय: is placed after the verbal roots belonging to the दिवादि-गणः, when followed by a सार्वधातुक-प्रत्यय: that is used signifying the agent. This सूत्रम् is a अपवाद: (exception) to 3-1-68 कर्तरि शप्‌ ।

(6) जन् + य + झे । अनुबन्ध-लोपः by 1-3-8 लशक्वतद्धिते , 1-3-3 हलन्त्यम्, 1-3-9 तस्य लोपः।

(7) जा + य + झे । By 7-3-79 ज्ञाजनोर्जा, the verbal roots √ज्ञा (ज्ञा अवबोधने ९. ४३) and √जन् (जनीँ प्रादुर्भावे ४. ४४) are substituted by “जा” when followed by a शित्-प्रत्ययः । As per 1-1-55 अनेकाल्शित् सर्वस्य , a substitute (आदेश:) which is अनेकाल् (has more than one letter) or has the letter ‘श्’ as a marker, takes the place of the entire term which is in the sixth case (in the सूत्रम् which prescribes the substitution.) Hence the entire term “जन्” is replaced by “जा”।

(8) जा + य + अन्ते । By 7-1-3 झोऽन्तः, “अन्त्” comes in as a replacement for the झकारः of a प्रत्यय:।

(9) जायन्ते । By 6-1-97 अतो गुणे।
