श्वशुर्यम् mAs

Today we will look at the form श्वशुर्यम् mAs from कथासरित्सागरः 16.1.60.

ततः श्वशुर्यं शोकार्तं स्नेहात्पार्श्वस्थितं तदा ।
गोपालकं स वत्सेशो बाष्पकण्ठोऽभ्यभाषत ॥ १६-१-६०॥

Translation – Then that king of Vatsa with throat half-choked with tears, addressed his afflicted brother-in-law Gopālaka, who remained at his side out of affection (60).

श्वशुरस्यापत्यम् (पुमान्) = श्वशुर्यः – father-in-law’s son = brother-in-law
In the verses the विवक्षा is द्वितीया-एकवचनम्। Hence the form is श्वशुर्यम्।

(1) श्वशुर ङस् + यत् । By 4-1-137 राजश्वशुराद्यत्‌ – To denote the sense of अपत्यम् (descendent), the तद्धित: affix ‘यत्’ may be applied optionally following a syntactically related पदम् which ends in a sixth case affix and has either ‘राजन्’ or ‘श्वशुर’ as its base.
Note: First the सूत्रम् 4-1-83 प्राग्दीव्यतोऽण् prescribes the default affix ‘अण्’ which is over-ruled by the affix ‘इञ्’ (prescribed by the सूत्रम् 4-1-95 अत इञ्) and finally the affix ‘यत्’ prevails because of the specific mention of ‘श्वशुर’ in 4-1-137.
As per the सूत्रम् 4-1-92 तस्यापत्यम् – Following a syntactically related पदम् in which the सन्धिः operations have been performed and which ends in a sixth case affix the तद्धिता: affixes already prescribed (by the prior rules 4-1-83 प्राग्दीव्यतोऽण् etc), as well as those that are going to be prescribed (by the following rules 4-1-95 अत इञ् etc), may be optionally applied to denote the sense of अपत्यम् (descendant.)

(2) श्वशुर ङस् + य । अनुबन्ध-लोपः by 1-3-3 हलन्त्यम्, 1-3-9 तस्य लोपः
Note: The letter ‘त्’ in the affix ’यत्’ is for the purpose of indicating the intonation (ref: 6-1-185 तित्स्वरितम्)।

Note: ‘श्वशुर ङस् + य’ gets the designation प्रातिपदिकम्‌ by 1-2-46 कृत्तद्धितसमासाश्च। This allows 2-4-71 सुपो धातुप्रातिपदिकयोः to apply in the next step.

(3) श्वशुर + य । By 2-4-71 सुपो धातुप्रातिपदिकयोः – A सुँप् affix takes a लुक् elision when it is a part of a धातुः or a प्रातिपदिकम्।

Note: The अङ्गम् ‘श्वशुर’ gets the भ-सञ्ज्ञा by 1-4-18 यचि भम् which allows 6-4-148 यस्येति च to apply in the next step.

(4) श्वशुर् + य । By 6-4-148 यस्येति च – When the letter ‘ई’ or a ‘तद्धित’ affix follows, the (ending) इ-वर्ण: (letter ‘इ’ or ‘ई’) or the (ending) अवर्ण: (letter ‘अ’ or ‘आ’) of the अङ्गम् with the भ-सञ्ज्ञा takes elision (लोपः)।

= श्वशुर्य । The प्रातिपदिकम् ‘श्वशुर्य’ declines like राम-शब्दः।

(5) श्वशुर्य + अम् । By 4-1-2 स्वौजसमौट्छष्टाभ्याम्भिस्ङेभ्याम्भ्यस्ङसिभ्याम्भ्यस्ङसोसाम्ङ्योस्सुप्‌।
Note: 1-3-4 न विभक्तौ तुस्माः prevents the ending letter ‘म्’ of the affix ‘अम्’ from getting इत्-सञ्ज्ञा।

(6) श्वशुर्यम् । By 6-1-107 अमि पूर्वः – In place of a preceding अक् letter and the following vowel (अच्) belonging to the affix ‘अम्’ there is a single substitute of that preceding अक् letter.

षाण्मातुरम् nNs

Today we will look at the form षाण्मातुरम् nNs from चम्पू-रामायणम् 1.62.

तत्राभूत्कृत्तिकाप्रीत्यै षोढारूढमुखाम्बुजम् ।
तारकध्वान्तविध्वंसि सद्यः षाण्मातुरं महः ∥ ६२ ∥

तत्रेति । तत्र शरवणे कृत्तिकाप्रीत्यै – स्तन्यं पाययितुं देवैः प्रेरितानां षट्संख्याकानां कृत्तिकामातॄणाम् प्रीत्यै प्रसन्नतार्थं षोढारूढमुखाम्बुजम् – षोढा षड्भिः प्रकारैः (‘प्रकारवचने थाल्’ इति थाल्) आरूढानि प्रादुर्भूतानि मुखाम्बुजानि मुखकमलानि तस्य तादृशम्, षाण्मातुरम् षण्णां मातॄणामपत्यं षाण्मातुरम् (‘षाण्मातुरः शक्तिधरः कुमारः’ इत्यमरः) सद्यस्तत्कालं तारकध्वान्तविध्वंसि – तारकस्तन्नामासुर एव ध्वान्तं तिमिरं विध्वंसयति नाशयतीति तारकध्वान्तविध्वंसि महः कार्त्तिकेयरूपं तेजः अभूत् जातम् । तत्र शरवणे षट्संख्याकाः कृत्तिका मातरः सेनान्यं स्तन्यं पाययितुं प्रेरिताः। एकेनैकेन मुखेन एकैकस्याः स्तन्यपानेन सर्वासां प्रीत्यर्थमिव षण्मुखोपेतं सद्यः तारकतिमिरविनाशकं षाण्मातुरं कार्त्तिकेयरूपं तेजः प्रादुर्भूतमित्यर्थः । अनुष्टुब्वृत्तम् ∥ ६२ ∥

Translation – In order to cause delight to the (six) Kṛttikās (who were prompted by the Gods to nurse the child), there (in that forest of reeds) instantaneously appeared a radiance in the form of Kārtikeya (the one who has six mothers), who manifested six-fold lotus-like faces and was the destroyer of the darkness in the form of (the demon named) Tāraka. 

षण्णां मातॄणामपत्यम् = षाण्मातुरम् (कार्तिकेयरूपम्) – an offspring of six mothers. Here it refers to the radiance of the form of Kārtikeya.
The compound ‘षाण्मातुर’ is an adjective. In the verse it qualifies the neuter noun महः। The विवक्षा is नपुंसकलिङ्गे प्रथमा-एकवचनम्।

First we construct the द्विगु-समासः ‘षण्मातृ’ as follows –

अलौकिक-विग्रह: –
(1) षष् आम् + मातृ आम् । By 2-1-51 तद्धितार्थोत्तरपदसमाहारे च – In the following three situations a सुबन्तं (ending in a सुँप् affix) पदम् denoting either a direction of the compass or a numeral combines with another सुबन्तं (ending in a सुँप् affix) पदम् referring to the same item and the resulting compound is a तत्पुरुष: –
i) in the context where the sense of a तद्धित: affix is to be expressed
ii) when a उत्तरपदम् (a final member) of a compound follows
iii) when the compound denotes a समाहार: (aggregate.)
Note: Compounding is allowed here on the condition that the sense (तस्यापत्यम्) of the तद्धित: affix अण् (prescribed by 4-1-115 मातुरुत्‌ संख्यासम्भद्रपूर्वायाः) is to be expressed.
Note: असञ्ज्ञार्थं वचनम् – This सूत्रम् is composed to cover those situations where the resulting compound does not denote a सञ्ज्ञा (a proper name) and hence would not be permitted as per the नियम-सूत्रम् (restriction rule) 2-1-50 दिक्संख्ये संज्ञायाम्‌।
As per 1-2-43 प्रथमानिर्दिष्टं समास उपसर्जनम् the term ‘षष् आम्’ (which denotes a numeral) gets the designation उपसर्जनम् because in the सूत्रम् 2-1-51 (which prescribes the compounding) the term दिक्संख्ये (which comes as अनुवृत्ति: from the सूत्रम् 2-1-50 दिक्संख्ये संज्ञायाम्‌) ends in the nominative case. And hence as per 2-2-30 उपसर्जनं पूर्वम्, the term ‘षष् आम्’ is placed in the prior position in the compound.
Note: ‘षष् आम् + मातृ आम्’ gets the designation प्रातिपदिकम्‌ by 1-2-46 कृत्तद्धितसमासाश्च। This allows 2-4-71 सुपो धातुप्रातिपदिकयोः to apply in the next step.

(2) षष् + मातृ । By 2-4-71 सुपो धातुप्रातिपदिकयोः – A सुँप् affix takes a लुक् elision when it is a part of a धातुः or a प्रातिपदिकम्। Note: Now ‘षष्’ has the designation पदम् here by the सूत्रम् 1-4-14 सुप्तिङन्तं पदम् with the help of the परिभाषा-सूत्रम् 1-1-62 प्रत्ययलोपे प्रत्ययलक्षणम्। This allows the सूत्रम् 8-2-39 झलां जशोऽन्ते to apply in the next step.

(3) षड् + मातृ । By 8-2-39 झलां जशोऽन्ते – When a letter of the झल्-प्रत्याहारः occurs at the end of a पदम् it is replaced by a letter of the जश्-प्रत्याहारः।

(4) षण्मातृ । By 8-4-45 यरोऽनुनासिकेऽनुनासिको वा – When a nasal sound follows, then a letter of the यर्-प्रत्याहारः at the end of a पदम् is optionally substituted by a nasal letter.

Now we derive the form ‘षाण्मातुर’ from the compound ‘षण्मातृ’ as follows –

(5) षण्मातुर् आम् + अण् । By 4-1-115 मातुरुत्‌ संख्यासम्भद्रपूर्वायाः – To denote the sense of अपत्यम् (descendent), the तद्धित: affix ‘अण्’ may be applied optionally following a syntactically related पदम् in which the सन्धिः operations have been performed, provided the पदम् ends in a sixth case affix and has the base ‘मातृ’, preceded either by a word denoting a number (संख्या) or the word ‘सम्’ or the word ‘भद्र’। Simultaneously, the ending short letter ‘ऋ’ of the word ‘मातृ’ takes the letter ‘उ’ as the substitute.
Note: The purpose of the सूत्रम् 4-1-115 is to prescribe the letter ‘उ’ (which after the application of 1-1-51 becomes ‘उर्’) as the substitute, because the affix अण् is already available by the सूत्रम् 4-1-83 प्राग्दीव्यतोऽण्।
As per the सूत्रम् 4-1-92 तस्यापत्यम् – Following a syntactically related पदम् in which the सन्धिः operations have been performed and which ends in a sixth case affix the तद्धिता: affixes already prescribed (by the prior rules 4-1-83 प्राग्दीव्यतोऽण् etc), as well as those that are going to be prescribed (by the following rules 4-1-95 अत इञ् etc), may be optionally applied to denote the sense of अपत्यम् (descendant.)

(6) षण्मातुर् आम् + अ । अनुबन्ध-लोपः by 1-3-3 हलन्त्यम्, 1-3-9 तस्य लोपः

Note: ‘षण्मातुर् आम् + अ’ gets the designation प्रातिपदिकम्‌ by 1-2-46 कृत्तद्धितसमासाश्च। This allows 2-4-71 सुपो धातुप्रातिपदिकयोः to apply in the next step.

(7) षण्मातुर् + अ । By 2-4-71 सुपो धातुप्रातिपदिकयोः – A सुँप् affix takes a लुक् elision when it is a part of a धातुः or a प्रातिपदिकम्।

Note: The affix ‘अण्’ is a णित् (has the letter ‘ण्’ as इत्). This allows 7-2-117 तद्धितेष्वचामादेः to apply in the next step to perform the वृद्धिः substitution in place of the letter ’अ’, which is the first vowel of the अङ्गम् ‘षण्मातुर्’।

(8) षाण्मातुर । By 7-2-117 तद्धितेष्वचामादेः – The first vowel among the vowels of a अङ्गम् which is followed by a तद्धित: affix (ref. 4-1-76 तद्धिताः) which is either a ञित् (has the letter ‘ञ्’ as a इत्) or a णित् (has the letter ‘ण्’ as a इत्) takes the वृद्धि: (ref. 1-1-1 वृद्धिरादैच्) substitute.

The प्रातिपदिकम् ‘षाण्मातुर’ declines like वन-शब्दः in the neuter.

(9) षाण्मातुर + सुँ । By 4-1-2 स्वौजसमौट्छष्टाभ्याम्भिस्ङेभ्याम्भ्यस्ङसिभ्याम्भ्यस्ङसोसाम्ङ्योस्सुप्‌

(10) षाण्मातुर + अम् । By 7-1-24 अतोऽम् – The affixes ‘सुँ’ and ‘अम्’ that follow a neuter अङ्गम् ending in the short vowel ‘अ’ take ‘अम्’ as their replacement.
Note: 1-3-4 न विभक्तौ तुस्माः prevents the ending letter ‘म्’ of the affix ‘अम्’ from getting इत्-सञ्ज्ञा।

(11) षाण्मातुरम् । By 6-1-107 अमि पूर्वः – In place of a preceding अक् letter and the following vowel (अच्) belonging to the affix ‘अम्’ there is a single substitute of that preceding अक् letter.

Similarly, we can derive the following –
१) द्वयोर्मात्रोरपत्यम् (पुमान्) = द्वैमातुरः (गणेशः) – a (male) offspring of two mothers

२) सम्मातुरपत्यम् (पुमान्) = साम्मातुरः – a (male) offspring of a good mother
Note: सम्माता is a प्रादि-समास: explained as सम् (समीचीना) माता = सम्माता – good mother

३) भद्रमातुरपत्यम् (पुमान्) = भाद्रमातुरः – a (male) offspring of an auspicious mother
Note: भद्रमाता is a कर्मधारय-समास: explained as भद्रा चासौ माता = भद्रमाता – auspicious mother

दाशरथिः mNs

Today we will look at the form दाशरथिः mNs from माघकाव्यम् 1.68.

स्मरत्यदो दाशरथिर्भवन्भवानमुं वनान्ताद्वनितापहारिणम् ।
पयोधिमाबद्धचलज्जलाविलं विलङ्घ्य लङ्कां निकषा हनिष्यति ॥ 1-68 ॥

मल्लिनाथ-टीका –
भातीति भवान् । भातेर्डवतुः । दशरथस्यापत्यं पुमान्दाशरथिः । “अत इञ्” इतीञ्प्रत्ययः । भवन् । रामः सन्नित्यर्थः । भवतेर्लटः शत्रादेशः । वनान्ताद्दण्डकारण्याद्वनितापहारिणं सीतापहर्तारममुं रावणम् । आबद्धः प्रक्षिप्ताद्रिभिर्बद्धसेतुः । अत एव चलन्ति जलानि यस्य स च । अत एवाविलश्च तमाबद्धचलज्जलाविलं पयोधिं विलङ्घ्य लङ्कां निकषा लङ्कासमीपे ‘समयानिकषाशब्दौ सामीप्ये त्वव्यये मतौ’ इति हलायुधः । “अभितः परितः समयानिकषाहाप्रतियोगेऽपि” इति द्वितीया । हनिष्यति अवधीत् । “अभिज्ञावचने लृट्” इति भूते लृट् । अदो हननं भवान्स्मरतीति काकुः । प्रत्यभिजानासि किमित्यर्थः । शेषे प्रथमः ॥

Translation – (Does) thou remember that – being the son of (King) Daśaratha, thou having crossed the bridged turbid ocean with turbulent waters, killed in the vicinity of Lañkā that (Rāvaṇa) – the abductor of the lady (Sītā) from the (Danḍaka) forest.

The above verses have previously appeared in the following post – हनिष्यति 3As-लृँट्

दशरथस्यापत्यम् (पुमान्) = दाशरथिः (रामः) – a (male) descendant of Daśaratha. It refers to Śrī Rāma (son of Daśaratha)
In the verses the विवक्षा is प्रथमा-एकवचनम्।

(1) दशरथ ङस् + इञ् । By 4-1-95 अत इञ् – To denote the sense of अपत्यम् (descendant) the तद्धित: affix ‘इञ्’ may be applied optionally following a syntactically related पदम् in which the सन्धिः operations have been performed, provided the पदम् ends in a sixth case affix and has a base ending in the letter ‘अ’। As per the सूत्रम् 4-1-92 तस्यापत्यम् – Following a syntactically related पदम् in which the सन्धिः operations have been performed and which ends in a sixth case affix the तद्धिता: affixes already prescribed (by the prior rules 4-1-83 प्राग्दीव्यतोऽण् etc), as well as those that are going to be prescribed (by the following rules 4-1-95 अत इञ् etc), may be optionally applied to denote the sense of अपत्यम् (descendant.)
Note: The term अत: used in this सूत्रम् is an adjective to प्रातिपदिकात्‌ (ref. 4-1-1 ङ्याप्प्रातिपदिकात्‌) and as per the परिभाषा-सूत्रम् 1-1-72 येन विधिस्तदन्तस्य we get the meaning अदन्तात् प्रातिपदिकात्‌। And bearing in mind that the affix is added to a पदम् and not directly to a प्रातिपदिकम्, it implies that the affix (इञ्) is (optionally) applied following a (sixth-case ending) पदम् derived from a प्रातिपदिकम् ending in the letter ‘अ’।
Note: The affix ‘इञ्’ prescribed by this सूत्रम् is a अपवाद: (exception) to the default affix ‘अण्’ prescribed by the सूत्रम् 4-1-83 प्राग्दीव्यतोऽण्।

(2) दशरथ ङस् + इ । अनुबन्ध-लोपः by 1-3-3 हलन्त्यम्, 1-3-9 तस्य लोपः

Note: ‘दशरथ ङस् + इ’ gets the designation प्रातिपदिकम्‌ by 1-2-46 कृत्तद्धितसमासाश्च। This allows 2-4-71 सुपो धातुप्रातिपदिकयोः to apply in the next step.

(3) दशरथ + इ । By 2-4-71 सुपो धातुप्रातिपदिकयोः – A सुँप् affix takes a लुक् elision when it is a part of a धातुः or a प्रातिपदिकम्।

Note: The affix ‘इञ्’ is a ञित् (has the letter ‘ञ्’ as इत्)। This allows 7-2-117 तद्धितेष्वचामादेः to apply in the next step.

(4) दाशरथ + इ । By 7-2-117 तद्धितेष्वचामादेः – The first vowel among the vowels of a अङ्गम् which is followed by a तद्धित: affix (ref. 4-1-76 तद्धिताः) which is either a ञित् (has the letter ‘ञ्’ as a इत्) or a णित् (has the letter ‘ण्’ as a इत्) takes the वृद्धि: (ref. 1-1-1 वृद्धिरादैच्) substitute.

Note: The अङ्गम् ‘दाशरथ’ gets the भ-सञ्ज्ञा by 1-4-18 यचि भम् which allows 6-4-148 यस्येति च to apply in the next step.

(5) दाशरथ् + इ । By 6-4-148 यस्येति च – When the letter ‘ई’ or a ‘तद्धित’ affix follows, the (ending) इ-वर्ण: (letter ‘इ’ or ‘ई’) or the (ending) अवर्ण: (letter ‘अ’ or ‘आ’) of the अङ्गम् with the भ-सञ्ज्ञा takes elision (लोपः)।

= दाशरथि । The प्रातिपदिकम् ‘दाशरथि’ declines like हरि-शब्दः।

(6) दाशरथि + सुँ । By 4-1-2 स्वौजसमौट्छष्टाभ्याम्भिस्ङेभ्याम्भ्यस्ङसिभ्याम्भ्यस्ङसोसाम्ङ्योस्सुप्‌

(7) दाशरथि + स् । अनुबन्ध-लोपः by 1-3-2 उपदेशेऽजनुनासिक इत् and 1-3-9 तस्य लोपः

(8) दाशरथिः । रुँत्व-विसर्गौ by 8-2-66 ससजुषो रुः and 8-3-15 खरवसानयोर्विसर्जनीयः

Similarly we can derive the following –
१) दुष्यन्तस्यापत्यम् (पुमान्) = दौष्यन्तिः (भरतः) – a (male) descendant of Duṣyanta. It refers to Bharata (son of Duṣyanta)
२) वसुकस्यापत्यम् (पुमान्) = वासुकिः – a (male) descendant of Vasuka
३) उत्तानपादस्यापत्यम् (पुमान्) = औत्तानपादः – a (male) descendant of Uttānapāda. It refers to Dhruva (son of Uttānapāda)

तिरोभूय ind

Today we will look at the form तिरोभूय  ind from कथासरित्सागर: verse 17.6.111.

इत्युक्त्वोपेत्य साश्रुस्तामवोचद्देवि माधुना । क्वापि यासीरहं मुक्ताफलकेतु: स ते प्रिय: ॥ १७.६.१०९ ॥
दृढव्रतस्य शापेन मानुषीभूय संस्मृता । जातिर्मयाद्येत्युक्त्वा तामैच्छदाश्लेष्टुमुत्सुक: ॥ १७.६.११० ॥
सा तूद्भ्रान्ता तिरोभूय तत्रासीत्साश्रुलोचना । सोऽपि राजसुतोऽपश्यंस्तां मोहादपतद्‍भुवि ॥ १७.६.१११ ॥

Translation – When he had said this, he went up to her weeping and said, “Princess, do not go away anywhere now; for I am your former lover Muktāphalaketu. I became a human by the curse of the hermit Dṛḍhavrata, and I have now remembered my former birth.” Having said this, he desired, in his eagerness, to embrace her. But she was alarmed and having concealed herself stayed there with her eyes full of tears: and the prince, not seeing her, fell on the ground in a swoon.

(1) अन्तर्हिता भूत्वा = तिरोभूय – having disappeared

तिरोभूय is derived from the verbal root √भू (भू सत्तायाम् १. १) preceded by the term ‘तिरस्’। ‘तिरस्’ gets the designation गति: here as per 1-4-71 तिरोऽन्तर्धौ – The term ‘तिरस्’ when denoting ‘disappearance/concealment’ gets the designation ‘गति’ provided it is used in conjunction with a verb.

Note: Besides accent considerations, the purpose of assigning the designation ‘गति’ is to facilitate compound formation prescribed by the सूत्रम् 2-2-18 कुगतिप्रादयः which in turn allows for the substitution ‘ल्यप्‌’ (in place of ‘क्त्वा’) prescribed by the सूत्रम् 7-1-37 समासेऽनञ्पूर्वे क्त्वो ल्यप्‌ (in step 5.)

Note: Since the term ‘तिरस्’ has the designation ‘गति’ here it also gets the निपात-सञ्ज्ञा by 1-4-56 प्राग्रीश्वरान्निपाताः and hence the अव्यय-सञ्ज्ञा by 1-1-37 स्वरादिनिपातमव्ययम्।

(2) भू + क्त्वा । By 3-4-21 समानकर्तृकयोः पूर्वकाले – The affix ‘क्त्वा’ is used following a verbal root which denotes a prior action relative to that of another verbal root, provided the agent of both the actions is the same. In the present example the later action (having the same agent – ‘she’) is आसीत् (‘stayed.’)

(3) अलौकिक-विग्रह: –

तिरस् + भू + क्त्वा । By 2-2-18 कुगतिप्रादयः – The indeclinable ‘कु’, terms having the designation ‘गति’ (ref. 1-4-60 गतिश्च etc) as well as the terms ‘प्र’ etc. (ref. 1-4-58 प्रादयः) invariably compound with a syntactically related term and the resulting compound gets the designation तत्पुरुष:।

Note: The अनुवृत्ति: of नित्यम् (invariably) comes down from the prior सूत्रम् 2-2-17 नित्यं क्रीडाजीविकयोः।

(4) By 1-2-43 प्रथमानिर्दिष्टं समास उपसर्जनम् – the term ‘तिरस्’ gets the designation उपसर्जनम् because in the सूत्रम् 2-2-18 (which prescribes the compounding) the term कुगतिप्रादयः ends in the nominative case. Hence the term ‘तिरस्’ is placed in the prior position in the compound as per the सूत्रम् 2-2-30 उपसर्जनं पूर्वम्‌ – In a compound a term which has the designation ‘उपसर्जन’ should be placed in the prior position.

Note: ‘तिरस् + भू क्त्वा’ gets the designation प्रातिपदिकम्‌ by 1-2-46 कृत्तद्धितसमासाश्च।

(5) तिरस् + भू + ल्यप् । By 7-1-37 समासेऽनञ्पूर्वे क्त्वो ल्यप्‌ – When the affix ‘क्त्वा’ occurs at the end of a compound, it is replaced by ‘ल्यप्’ provided the prior member of the compound is a अव्‍ययम् other than ‘नञ्’ (ref. 2-2-6 नञ्)। The entire term ‘क्त्वा’ is replaced by ‘ल्यप्’ as per the परिभाषा-सूत्रम् 1-1-55 अनेकाल्शित्सर्वस्य
Note: As per 1-1-56 स्थानिवदादेशोऽनल्विधौ, the substitution ‘ल्यप्’ (in place of the affix ‘क्त्वा’) inherits the property of being a कित् (having the letter ‘क्’ as a इत्) affix with the designation of कृत् (by 3-1-93 कृदतिङ्) and आर्धधातुकम् (by 3-4-114 आर्धधातुकं शेषः।)

(6) तिरस् + भू + य । अनुबन्ध-लोपः by 1-3-3 हलन्त्यम्, 1-3-8 लशक्वतद्धिते and 1-3-9 तस्य लोपः

Note: 1-1-5 क्क्ङिति च prevents 7-3-84 सार्वधातुकार्धधातुकयोः from applying.

(7) तिररुँ + भू + य । By 8-2-66 ससजुषो रुः

(8) तिर उ + भूय । By 6-1-114 हशि च

(9) तिरोभूय । By 6-1-87 आद्‍गुणः

‘तिरोभूय’ gets the अव्यय-सञ्ज्ञा by 1-1-40 क्त्वातोसुन्कसुनः with the help of 1-1-56 स्थानिवदादेशोऽनल्विधौ। This allows 2-4-82 to apply below.

(10) तिरोभूय + सुँ (default) । By 4-1-2 स्वौजसमौट्छष्टाभ्याम्भिस्ङेभ्याम्भ्यस्ङसिँभ्याम्भ्यस्ङसोसाम्ङ्योस्सुप्

(11) तिरोभूय । By 2-4-82 अव्ययादाप्सुपः – The feminine affix आप् and सुँप् affixes that are prescribed after a अव्ययम् take the लुक् elision.

Questions:

1. Commenting on the सूत्रम् 1-4-71 तिरोऽन्तर्धौ (used in step 1) the तत्त्वबोधिनी says – अन्तर्धौ किम्? तिरो भूत्वा स्थित:। पार्श्वतो भूत्वेत्यर्थ:। Please explain.

2. Can you spot a नञ्-तत्पुरुष: compound in the verses?

3. Which कृत् affix is used to form the प्रातिपदिकम् ‘प्रिय’ (appearing in the form प्रिय: (पुंलिङ्गे, प्रथमा-एकवचनम्) in the verses)?

4. Where has the सूत्रम् 3-3-158 समानकर्तृकेषु तुमुन् been used in the verses?

5. Which सूत्रम् justifies the use of a third case affix in the form शापेन used in the verses?

6. How would you say this in Sanskrit?
“Having concealed himself, Śrī Hanumān observed Sītā sitting at the base of an Aśoka tree.” Use the verbal root √लक्ष् (लक्षँ दर्शनाङ्कनयोः १०. ६) preceded by the उपसर्ग: ‘सम्’ for ‘to observe.’ Use the neuter noun ‘मूल’ for ‘base.’ Form a कर्मधारय: compound for ‘Aśoka tree’ = अशोकश्चासौ वृक्ष:।

Easy questions:

1. Where has the सूत्रम् 7-2-73 यमरमनमातां सक् च been used in the verses?

2. Can you spot the augment ‘उम्’ in the verses?

आपातरमणीयानाम् mGp

Today we will look at the form आपातरमणीयानाम् mGp from हितोपदेशः 11.79.

संयोगो हि वियोगस्य संसूचयति संभवम् । अनतिक्रमणीयस्य जन्म मृत्योरिवागमम् ।। ११-७९ ।।
आपातरमणीयानां संयोगानां प्रियैः सह । अपथ्यानामिवान्नानां परिणामोऽतिदारुणः ।। ११-८० ।।

Translation – Connection certainly indicates the possibility of separation, as birth indicates the coming of death which is unavoidable (79). The result of seemingly delightful (pleasant at first glance) associations with beloved persons, is exceedingly dreadful, like that of unwholesome foods (80).

लौकिक-विग्रहः
(1) आपाते रमणीय: = आपातरमणीय: – delightful/pleasant at first glance.

अलौकिक-विग्रह: –
(2) आपात ङि + रमणीय सुँ 2-1-40 (a) सप्तमी । Note: ‘सप्तमी’ इति योगविभागात्समास:। Since ‘रमणीय’ is not listed in the शौण्डादि-गण: we cannot use 2-1-40 सप्तमी शौण्डैः to form this compound. (The rules from 2-1-41 to 2-1-48 do not apply either.) So we split the rule 2-1-40 सप्तमी शौण्डैः in to two parts – 2-1-40 (a) सप्तमी and 2-1-40 (b) शौण्डैः। The meaning of part (a) becomes – A पदम् ending in a seventh case affix optionally compounds with a (syntactically related) पदम् ending in a सुँप् affix and the resulting compound gets the designation तत्पुरुष:। We can use this part (a) to justify the formation of the compound ‘आपातरमणीय’।

(3) By 1-2-43 प्रथमानिर्दिष्टं समास उपसर्जनम् – the term ‘आपात ङि’ gets the designation उपसर्जनम् because in the सूत्रम् 2-1-40 (a) (which prescribes the compounding) the term सप्तमी ends in the nominative case. Hence ‘आपात ङि’ is placed in the prior position in the compound as per the सूत्रम् 2-2-30 उपसर्जनं पूर्वम्‌ – In a compound a term which has the designation ‘उपसर्जन’ should be placed in the prior position.

Note: ‘आपात ङि + रमणीय सुँ’ gets the designation प्रातिपदिकम्‌ by 1-2-46 कृत्तद्धितसमासाश्च। This allows 2-4-71 to apply in the next step.

(4) आपात + रमणीय । By 2-4-71 सुपो धातुप्रातिपदिकयोः – A सुँप् affix takes a लुक् elision when it is a part of a धातुः or a प्रातिपदिकम्।

= आपातरमणीय ।

Note: In the present example the compound ‘आपातरमणीय’ (which is an adjective) is qualifying the masculine noun ‘संयोग’ and hence takes the masculine gender.

The विवक्षा is षष्ठी-बहुवचनम्।

(5) आपातरमणीय + आम् । By 4-1-2 स्वौजसमौट्छष्टाभ्याम्भिस्ङेभ्याम्भ्यस्ङसिँभ्याम्भ्यस्ङसोसाम्ङ्योस्सुप्
Note: 1-3-4 न विभक्तौ तुस्माः prevents the ending letter ‘म्’ of the affix ‘आम्’ from getting इत्-सञ्ज्ञा।

(6) आपातरमणीय + नुँट् आम् । By 7-1-54 ह्रस्वनद्यापो नुट् – The affix ‘आम्’ takes the augment ‘नुँट्’ when it follows a प्रातिपदिकम् which either ends in a short vowel or has the नदी-सञ्ज्ञा or ends in the feminine affix ‘आप्’।
As per 1-1-46 आद्यन्तौ टकितौ the augment ‘नुँट्’ joins at the beginning of the affix ‘आम्’।

(7) आपातरमणीय + नाम् । अनुबन्ध-लोपः by 1-3-2 उपदेशेऽजनुनासिक इत्, 1-3-3 हलन्त्यम् and 1-3-9 तस्य लोपः

(8) आपातरमणीयानाम् । By 6-4-3 नामि – The ending vowel of an अङ्गम् gets elongated if followed by the term ‘नाम्’।

4. Which सूत्रम् prescribes the कृत् affix ‘अनीयर्’ used to form the प्रातिपदिकम् ‘रमणीय’ (which is part of the compound ‘आपातरमणीय’)?

5. Where has the सूत्रम् 2-3-19 सहयुक्तेऽप्रधाने been used in the verse?

6. How would you say this in Sanskrit?
“The result of the seemingly delightful associations with the sense objects, is exceedingly dreadful.” Form a compound for ‘seemingly delightful’ (= ‘delightful at first glance.’) Use words from the verse for ‘result’ and ‘exceedingly dreadful.’ Use the masculine प्रातिपदिकम् ‘संयोग’ for ‘association’ and the masculine प्रातिपदिकम् ‘विषय’ for ‘sense object.’

तारकाचित्रम् nNs

Today we will look at the form तारकाचित्रम्  nNs from रामोपाख्यानम् in the महाभारतम् 3.275.20.

ततोऽन्तरिक्षं तत्सर्वं देवगन्धर्वसंकुलम् । शुशुभे तारकाचित्रं शरदीव नभस्तलम् ।। ३-२७५-२० ।।
तत उत्थाय वैदेही तेषां मध्ये यशस्विनी । उवाच वाक्यं कल्याणी रामं पृथुलवक्षसम् ।। ३-२७४-२१ ।।
राजपुत्र न ते कोपं करोमि विदिता हि मे । गतिः स्त्रीणां नराणां च शृणु चेदं वचो मम ।। ३-२७४-२२ ।।

Translation – Then the entire atmosphere filled with gods and Gandharvas shone like the surface of the sky bright with stars in autumn (20).Then the noble princess of Videha stood up glorious in their midst and spoke this speech to the broad chested Rāma: “Prince, I am not angry at you, for I know the way of women and of men, but listen to my speech.” (21-22)

लौकिक-विग्रह: –
(1) तारकाभिश्चित्रम् = तारकाचित्रम् – bright with stars.
Note: As per the सूत्रम् 2-3-18 कर्तृकरणयोस्तृतीया a third case affix is used following the प्रातिपदिकम् ‘तारका’ which denotes the करणम् (instrument) of the action of making bright.

अलौकिक-विग्रह: –
(2) तारका भिस् + चित्र सुँ । By 2-1-30 तृतीया तत्कृतार्थेन गुणवचनेन – (As per the महाभाष्यम्) this सूत्रम् consists of two parts – i) तृतीया तत्कृतेन गुणवचनेन – A पदम् ending in a third case affix optionally compounds with a (syntactically related) पदम् which denotes that which possesses a property instrumentally caused by that which is denoted by the पदम् ending in a third case affix and the resulting compound gets the designation तत्पुरुष:।
ii) अर्थेन – A पदम् ending in a third case affix optionally compounds with a (syntactically related) पदम् (composed by adding a सुँप् affix to) ‘अर्थ’ (wealth) and the resulting compound gets the designation तत्पुरुष:।

See question 1.

(3) By 1-2-43 प्रथमानिर्दिष्टं समास उपसर्जनम् – the term ‘तारका भिस्’ gets the designation उपसर्जनम् because in the सूत्रम् 2-1-30 (which prescribes the compounding) the term तृतीया ends in the nominative case. Hence ‘तारका भिस्’ is placed in the prior position in the compound as per the सूत्रम् 2-2-30 उपसर्जनं पूर्वम्‌ – In a compound a term which has the designation ‘उपसर्जन’ should be placed in the prior position.

Note: ‘तारका भिस् + चित्र सुँ’ gets the designation प्रातिपदिकम्‌ by 1-2-46 कृत्तद्धितसमासाश्च। This allows 2-4-71 to apply in the next step.

(4) तारका + चित्र । By 2-4-71 सुपो धातुप्रातिपदिकयोः – A सुँप् affix takes a लुक् elision when it is a part of a धातुः or a प्रातिपदिकम्।

= तारकाचित्र ।

As per the सूत्रम् 2-4-26 परवल्लिङ्गं द्वन्द्वतत्पुरुषयोः, the compound प्रातिपदिकम् ‘तारकाचित्र’ is neuter here since the latter member ‘चित्र’ of the compound is used here in the neuter. (The entire compound is qualifying नभस्तलम्।)

The विवक्षा is प्रथमा-एकवचनम्।

(5) तारकाचित्र + सुँ । By 4-1-2 स्वौजसमौट्छष्टाभ्याम्भिस्ङेभ्याम्भ्यस्ङसिभ्याम्भ्यस्ङसोसाम्ङ्योस्सुप्‌।

(6) तारकाचित्र + अम् । By 7-1-24 अतोऽम् – The affixes ‘सुँ’ and ‘अम्’ that follow a neuter अङ्गम् ending in the short vowel ‘अ’ take ‘अम्’ as their replacement.
1-3-4 न विभक्तौ तुस्माः prevents the ending letter ‘म्’ of the affix ‘अम्’ from getting इत्-सञ्ज्ञा।

(7) तारकाचित्रम् । By 6-1-107 अमि पूर्वः – In place of a preceding अक् letter and the following vowel (अच्) belonging to the affix ‘अम्’ there is a single substitute of that preceding अक् letter.

(xv) साकल्यम्‌ – totality/completeness
(xvi) अन्त: – termination/end

(3) सु + भिक्षा आम् । By 1-2-43 प्रथमानिर्दिष्टं समास उपसर्जनम् – A term denoted by a word ending in a nominative case in a सूत्रम् which prescribes a compound gets the designation ‘उपसर्जन’। Here the term ‘अव्ययम्’ in the सूत्रम् 2-1-6 ends in the nominative case. Therefore the अव्ययम् ‘सु’ gets the designation ‘उपसर्जन’ by 1-2-43. Hence ‘सु’ is placed in the prior position in the compound as per the सूत्रम् 2-2-30 उपसर्जनं पूर्वम्‌ – In a compound a term which has the designation ‘उपसर्जन’ should be placed in the prior position.
Note: ‘सु + भिक्षा आम्’ gets the designation प्रातिपदिकम्‌ by 1-2-46 कृत्तद्धितसमासाश्च। This allows 2-4-71 to apply in the next step.

See question 2.

(2) परितोष + आत् । By 7-1-12 टाङसिङसामिनात्स्याः – Following a अङ्गम् ending in the letter ‘अ’, the affixes ‘टा’, ‘ङसिँ’ and ‘ङस्’ are replaced respectively by ‘इन’, ‘आत्’ and ‘स्य’। Note: Since the substitute ‘आत्’ has more than one letter, as per the परिभाषा-सूत्रम् 1-1-55 अनेकाल्शित्सर्वस्य, the entire affix (and not just its last letter) is replaced by ‘आत्’।
1-3-4 न विभक्तौ तुस्माः prevents the ending letter ‘त्’ of ‘आत्’ from getting the इत्-सञ्ज्ञा।
