Today we will look at the form राज्ञः mGs from श्रीमद्भागवतम् verse 10-41-34.

स याचितो भगवता परिपूर्णेन सर्वतः । साक्षेपं रुषितः प्राह भृत्यो राज्ञः सुदुर्मदः ।। १०-४१-३४ ।।
ईदृशान्येव वासांसि नित्यं गिरिवनेचरः । परिधत्त किमुद्वृत्ता राजद्रव्याण्यभीप्सथ ।। १०-४१-३५ ।।

श्रीधर-स्वामि-टीका –
रुषितः कुपितः ।। ३४ ।। हे उद्वृत्ताः, गिरौ वने चरथ ये नित्यं ते यूयं पूर्वं परिधत्तेति संभावनायां लोट् । अभीप्सथ प्रार्थयध्वम् ।। ३५ ।।

Gita Press translation – Solicited (thus) by the Lord, who was most perfect in everyway, that extremely arrogant servant of Kaṁsa (the king of Mathurā), angrily and tauntingly replied (as follows): – (34) “Do you always wear such (excellent) clothes alone, roaming as you do on the mountain and in the woods, that, transcending all bounds of propriety, you dare seek to have royal goods?”(35)

राज्ञः is षष्ठी-एकवचनम् of the पुंलिङ्ग-प्रातिपदिकम् ‘राजन्’।

(1) राजन् + ङस् । By 4-1-2 स्वौजसमौट्छष्टाभ्याम्भिस्ङेभ्याम्भ्यस्ङसिँभ्याम्भ्यस्ङसोसाम्ङ्योस्सुप्। As per the सूत्रम् 2-3-50 षष्ठी शेषे – A sixth case affix (‘ङस्’, ‘ओस्’, ‘आम्’) is used in the remaining sense, which is that of a syntactic relation – for example the relation between the owner and the owned – which is other than that expressed by a कारकम् (a participant in the action) and that of (only) the meaning of the प्रातिपदिकम् (nominal stem.)
Note: It is the qualifier (विशेषणम्) which takes the sixth case affix, and not the one qualified (विशेष्यम्)।
In the present example, the sixth case affix in राज्ञ: expresses स्वस्वामिभावसम्बन्ध: – the relationship between the owned (‘भृत्य’) and the owner (‘राजन्’)। ‘भृत्य’ (the servant) is being qualified by his relation to ‘राजन्’ and hence ‘राजन्’ takes the sixth case affix.

(2) राजन् + अस् । अनुबन्ध-लोपः by 1-3-8 लशक्वतद्धिते and 1-3-9 तस्य लोपः। 1-3-4 न विभक्तौ तुस्माः prevents the ending letter ‘स्’ of the affix ‘ङस्’ from getting इत्-सञ्ज्ञा।
Note: The अङ्गम् ‘राजन्’ gets the भ-सञ्ज्ञा by 1-4-18 यचि भम् ।

(3) राज्न् + अस् । By 6-4-134 अल्लोपोऽनः – There is an elision of the letter ‘अ’ of ‘अन्’ when
i) the ‘अन्’ belongs to a अङ्गम् and
ii) the ‘अन्’ is (immediately) followed by a ‘स्वादि’ affix (ref. 4-1-2 स्वौजसमौट्छष्टाभ्याम्भिस्ङेभ्याम्भ्यस्ङसिभ्याम्भ्यस्ङसोसाम्ङ्योस्सुप्‌) which is not सर्वनामस्थानम् and which either begins with the letter ‘य्’ or a vowel (अच्)।

(4) राज्न् + अ: । रुँत्व-विसर्गौ by 8-2-66 ससजुषो रुः and 8-3-15 खरवसानयोर्विसर्जनीयः।

(5) राज्ञः । By 8-4-40 स्तोः श्चुना श्चुः – When the letter ‘स्’ or a letter of the त-वर्ग: (‘त्’, ‘थ्’, ‘द्’, ‘ध्’, ‘न्’) comes in contact with either the letter ‘श्’ or a letter of the च-वर्ग: (‘च्’, ‘छ्’, ‘ज्’, ‘झ्’, ‘ञ्’), then it is replaced respectively by ‘श्’, च-वर्ग: (‘च्’, ‘छ्’, ‘ज्’, ‘झ्’, ‘ञ्’)।

Questions:

1. Where has the सूत्रम् 2-3-50 षष्ठी शेषे been used for the last time in the गीता?

2. In the सिद्धान्तकौमुदी the वृत्ति: of the सूत्रम् 2-3-50 षष्ठी शेषे (used in step 1) reads – कारकप्रातिपदिकार्थव्यतिरिक्त: स्वस्वामिभावादिसम्बन्ध: शेषस्तत्र षष्ठी स्यात्। On this the तत्त्वबोधिनी comments – उपयुक्तादन्य: शेष:। कर्मादयश्च प्रातिपदिकार्थपर्यन्ता उपयुक्तास्तत्र द्वितीयादीनां विधानादतो व्याचष्टे – ‘कारकप्रातिपदिकार्थव्यतिरिक्त’ इति। Please explain.

3. In which sense has the affix ‘क्त’ been used in the form रुषित: in the verses?
i) भावे ii) कर्तरि iii) कर्मणि iv) None of the above.

4. Which कृत् affix is used to derive the feminine प्रातिपदिकम् ‘संभावना’ (used in the commentary in the form संभावनायाम् (सप्तमी-एकवचनम्))?

5. How would you say this in Sanskrit?
Śrī Hanumān said to Śrī Rāma – “I am a servant of Sugrīva, the king of monkeys.”

Advanced question:

1. Derive the प्रातिपदिकम् ‘भृत्य’ from the verbal root √भृ (भृञ् भरणे १. १०४५). भृत्य: is explained as – ‘भ्रियते’ इति भृत्य: – A servant is one who is (fit to be) supported. Note: You will need to use the following सूत्रम् (which we have not studied so far) – 3-1-112 भृञोऽसंज्ञायाम् which has the अनुवृत्ति: of क्यप् coming down from 3-1-106 वदः सुपि क्यप् च। Hence the meaning of the सूत्रम् 3-1-112 भृञोऽसंज्ञायाम् is – The affix क्यप् may be used following the verbal root √भृ (भृञ् भरणे १. १०४५) provided the word so derived is not a proper name.

Easy questions:

1. Can you spot the affix सन् in the verses?

2. Where has the सूत्रम् 3-4-91 सवाभ्यां वामौ been used in the commentary?
