विवृणु 2As-लोँट्

Today we will look at the form विवृणु 2As-लोँट् from श्रीमद्भागवतम् Sb8-24-53.

तं त्वामहं देववरं वरेण्यं प्रपद्य ईशं प्रतिबोधनाय ।
छिन्ध्यर्थदीपैर्भगवन्वचोभिर्ग्रन्थीन्हृदय्यान्विवृणु स्वमोकः ।। ८-२४-५३ ।।

Gita Press translation “Such as You are, I approach You – the almighty Lord, adorable (even) to gods, and worthy of being sought for (by all) – for instruction . (Kindly, therefore,) cut asunder, O Lord, with Your words throwing light on the (highest) truth, the knots (in the shape of egotism and so on) existing in the heart and reveal Your own Self (to me).”

विवृणु is derived from the धातुः √वृ (स्वादि-गणः, वृञ् वरणे, धातु-पाठः # ५. ८)

Since “वृञ्” has ञकारः as a इत् in the धातु-पाठः, as per 1-3-72 स्वरितञितः कर्त्रभिप्राये क्रियाफले, the √वृ-धातुः will take आत्मनेपद-प्रत्ययाः when the fruit of the action (क्रियाफलम्) accrues to the doer (कर्त्रभिप्रायम् = कर्तृ-अभिप्रायम्)। In the remaining case – when the fruit of the action does not accrue to the doer – by 1-3-78 शेषात् कर्तरि परस्मैपदम् – the √वृ-धातुः will take परस्मैपद-प्रत्ययाः। In reality though, this distinction of the fruit of the action accruing to the doer or not, is rarely honored in the language. So as a practical matter, a verbal root such as √वृ-धातुः will take either आत्मनेपद-प्रत्ययाः or परस्मैपद-प्रत्ययाः regardless of whether the fruit of the action accrues to the doer or not. In short, √वृ-धातुः will be उभयपदी। In this verse, it has taken a परस्मैपद-प्रत्यय:।

Since the विवक्षा is मध्यम-पुरुषः, एकवचनम्, the प्रत्ययः is “सिप्”।

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

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

(3) वृ + सिप् । 3-4-78 तिप्तस्झिसिप्थस्थमिब्वस्मस्तातांझथासाथांध्वमिड्वहिमहिङ् mandates the प्रत्ययः “सिप्” as the substitute for the लकारः। “सिप्” 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 “धातोः” अधिकारः।

(4) वृ + सि । अनुबन्ध-लोपः by 1-3-3 हलन्त्यम्, 1-3-9 तस्य लोपः

(5) वृ + हि । By 3-4-87 सेर्ह्यपिच्च, “सि” of लोँट् is substituted by “हि” and it is an अपित्।

(6) वृ + श्नु + हि । By 3-1-73 स्वादिभ्यः श्नुः, the श्नु-प्रत्यय: is placed after the verbal roots of the स्वादि-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

(7) वृ + नु + हि । अनुबन्ध-लोपः by 1-3-8 लशक्वतद्धिते , 1-3-9 तस्य लोपः

(8) वृ + नु । By 6-4-106 उतश्च प्रत्ययादसंयोगपूर्वात्‌, the हि-प्रत्ययः (of लोँट्) is elided if it follows a उकारः of an affix and the उकार: is not preceded by a conjunct consonant.
Note: By 1-2-4 सार्वधातुकमपित्, the नु-प्रत्यय: becomes ङिद्वत् (behaves like having a ङकारः as an इत्)। Hence 1-1-5 क्क्ङिति च prevents the गुणादेशः for the ऋकार: (of the अङ्गम् “वृ”) which would have been done by 7-3-84 सार्वधातुकार्धधातुकयोः

(9) वृणु । By वार्त्तिकम् (under 8-4-1) – ऋवर्णान्नस्य णत्वं वाच्यम् – णकारः shall be ordained in the place of the नकारः after the vowel ऋ also (along-side the रेफः and षकारः)।

Note: “वि” has been used as a उपसर्ग:। – ref. 1-4-59 उपसर्गाः क्रियायोगे
वि + वृणु = विवृणु।

Questions:

1. In the first verse of which chapter of the गीता has 6-4-106 उतश्च प्रत्ययादसंयोगपूर्वात्‌ been used?

2. Where has 8-4-65 झरो झरि सवर्णे been used in the verse?

3. Can you spot the श्यन्-प्रत्यय: in the verse?

4. Commenting on the सूत्रम् 6-4-106 उतश्च प्रत्ययादसंयोगपूर्वात्‌, the काशिका says – असंयोगपूर्वादिति किम्? प्राप्नुहि। Please explain.

5. How would you say this in Sanskrit?
“Please explain.” Paraphrase this to भावे प्रयोग: “Let (the action of) explaining be done.” Use (passive form of) √वृ (स्वादि-गणः, वृञ् वरणे, धातु-पाठः # ५. ८) with the उपसर्ग: “वि” for “to explain.”

6. How would you say this in Sanskrit?
“Fire is covered by smoke.” Take answer from Chapter Three of the गीता।

Easy questions:

1. Where has 7-3-102 सुपि च been used in the verse?

2. In the verse, can you spot two प्रातिपदिके which end in a सकार:?
