Today we will look at the form चारयितव्या fNs from श्रीमद्वाल्मीकि-रामायणम् 5.53.14.

सर्वेषामेव पर्याप्तो राक्षसानामहं युधि । किं तु रामस्य प्रीत्यर्थं विषहिष्येऽहमीदृशम् ॥ ५-५३-१३ ॥
लङ्का चारयितव्या मे पुनरेव भवेदिति । रात्रौ नहि सुदृष्टा मे दुर्गकर्मविधानतः ॥ ५-५३-१४ ॥
अवश्यमेव द्रष्टव्या मया लङ्का निशाक्षये । कामं बध्नन्तु मे भूयः पुच्छस्योद्दीपनेन च ॥ ५-५३-१५ ॥

Gita Press translation – I am strong enough for all the ogres (taken together) in combat. Still for the pleasure of Śrī Rāma I shall suffer such humiliation (13). Laṅkā will thus (involuntarily) caused to be surveyed by me once more; for at night it was not closely perceived from the point of view of technique of its fortification (14). Laṅkā (therefore) needs must be seen by me at the close of the night. Let the ogres freely bind me anew and cause pain to me by setting my tail on fire; there will be no strain on my mind (15).

“चारयितव्य” is a कृदन्त-प्रातिपदिकम् (participle form) derived from a causative form of the verbal root √चर् (भ्वादि-गणः, चरँ गत्यर्थः, धातु-पाठः #१. ६४०)

The अकारः at the end of “चरँ” gets the इत्-सञ्ज्ञा by 1-3-2 उपदेशेऽजनुनासिक इत् and takes लोप: by 1-3-9 तस्य लोपः।

(1) चर् + णिच् । By 3-1-26 हेतुमति च – The affix “णिच्” is used after a root, when the operation of a causer – such as the operation of directing – is to be expressed.

(6) चारि + इट् तव्य । By 7-2-35 आर्धधातुकस्येड् वलादेः, an आर्धधातुक-प्रत्यय: beginning with a letter of the वल्-प्रत्याहारः gets the augment “इट्”। 1-1-46 आद्यन्तौ टकितौ places the “इट्”-आगमः at the beginning of the प्रत्यय:।

(7) चारि + इतव्य । अनुबन्ध-लोपः by 1-3-3 हलन्त्यम्, 1-3-9 तस्य लोपः।
