Today we will look at the form भवता mIs from श्रीमद्वाल्मीकि-रामायणम् 6-5-9.

अवगाह्यार्णवं स्वप्स्ये सौमित्रे भवता विना । एवं च प्रज्वलन् कामो न मा सुप्तं जले दहेत् ।। ६-५-९ ।।
बह्वेतत्कामयानस्य शक्यमेतेन जीवितुम् । यदहं सा च वामोरूरेकां धरणिमाश्रितौ ।। ६-५-१० ।।
केदारस्येव केदारः सोदकस्य निरूदकः । उपस्नेहेन जीवामि जीवन्तीं यच्छृणोमि ताम् ।। ६-५-११ ।।

Gita Press translation, “Diving into the sea without you (as my companion), O darling of Sumitrā, I shall repose there. Flaming love will not consume me lying asleep in water as aforesaid (9). That the said lady of charming limbs and myself repose on the selfsame earth is enough (consolation) for me, soliciting as I do her company (desolate that I am) and it will be possible for me to survive on this score (alone) (10). Even as the crop in a field without water remains alive through contact with a field under water, I (too) survive because I hear of her surviving (11).”

भवता is पुंलिङ्गे तृतीया-एकवचनम् of the सर्वनाम-प्रातिपदिकम् ‘भवत्’।

(1) भवत् + टा । By 4-1-2 स्वौजसमौट्छष्टाभ्याम्भिस्ङेभ्याम्भ्यस्ङसिँभ्याम्भ्यस्ङसोसाम्ङ्योस्सुप्। As per 2-3-32 पृथग्विनानानाभिस्तृतीयान्यतरस्याम्‌ – A third case affix (‘टा’, ‘भ्याम्’, ‘भिस्’) or a fifth case affix (‘ङसिँ’, ‘भ्याम्’, ‘भ्यस्’) or a second case affix (‘अम्’, ‘औट्’, ‘शस्’) is used following a प्रातिपदिकम् (nominal stem) co-occurring with पृथक्, विना or नाना।
In the present example the प्रातिपदिकम् ‘भवत्’ is co-occurring with विना। Therefore it has taken the third case affix ‘टा’।

See question 2.

(2) भवत् + आ = भवता । अनुबन्ध-लोपः by 1-3-7 चुटू, 1-3-9 तस्य लोपः।
