Introduction

Introduction

Scope of Enjoyable Sanskrit Grammar Volume 3

In Volume 1, we have studied the two types of words in Sanskrit and how they are
syntactically connected in a sentence, by finding verbal and nominal suffixes attached to the
root and the nominal bases respectively.

<
637 8 (root) + %7V-< IJK (verbal suffix) = %7V5@ (verb)
<
I3%7W%X;@ (nominal <
base) + 1W8 -IJK 8
(nominal suffix) = 1Œ5@ <
(noun)

In Volume 3 we will take a closer look at 637 8 (roots) and I3%7W%X; (nominal bases).

637s8 are of two types: original 637s8 and derived 637s8 . Similarly, I3%7W%X;s are of two
types: underived I3%7W%X;s and derived I3%7W%X;s. Detailed information about them follows.

i. 637 8

There are two types of 637 8 (root).

1. Original 637 8
Original 637s8 are about 2000 in number.
They are defined by PāŽini and compiled in a book called “637W8 3 ”.

2. Derived 637 8
Any number of 637s8 can be derived grammatically from original 637 8 or nouns.
Those derived 637s8 are called 12345637-8 #$%&s.

Introduction

ii. I3%7W%X;@ <

There are two types of I3%7W%X; (nominal base).

8
1. Non-derived (Ms‘¡) I3%7W%X;
A meaningful group of letters, which is not a 637 8 or IJK (suffix), is called I3%7W%X;@. <

8
2. Derived (s‘¡) I3%7W%X;
I3%7W%X;s are also grammatically derived from roots and nouns.
There are three ways of deriving I3%7W%X;s.
<
i. Deriving a I3%7W%X; from a 637 8 by adding a type of suffix called ;$ 7-IJK
ii. Deriving a I3%7W%X; from a I3%7W%X; by adding a type of suffix called 7%>7-
IJK
iii. Deriving a I3%7W%X; by compounding two or more nouns (1@31 )

In this volume we will study how the derived 637s8 and I3%7W%X;s are made.
A few key words to know for this study are:

8
Derivation of a word is called s‘%& .
A derived word is called #$%& .
A sentence which grammatically explains a #$%& is called %#+, .

With reference to a given #$%& (derived word), we utilize %#+, (explanatory sentence)
8
to understand the s‘%& (derivation) of the word.

2
Topic I – #$%& and %#+,

Topic I
#$%& (derived word) and
%#+, (explanatory sentence)

#$%& (derived words)

#$%& is a word by which the meaning of other words is denoted.

E.g., eater is a #$%&, meaning “one who eats”.

#$%& is a word which needs explanation.

There are 5 types of #$%&.

8 %& (A new 637 8 derived from a 637 8 or a 1Œ5)

< %& (A new I3%7W%X; derived from a 637)8


2. ;$ 7-#$

3. 7%>7-#$%& (A new I3%7W%X; derived from a I3%7W%X;)

4. 1@31-#$%& (A new I3%7W%X; derived by compounding 1Œ5s)

5. D;EFG-#$%& (Keeping one I3%7W%X; out of many)

%#+, (explanatory sentences)

%#+, is a sentence which explains the meaning of a #$%&.

There are 2 types of %#+,.

1. [¥%;;-%#+, (in natural language)

This type of explanatory sentence is seen in the language, especially for our

benefit, employed by traditional Vedanta teachers.

<
E.g., #FX323@ M53 #FX353 ¦

2. M[¥%;;-%#+, (not in natural language)

This type of sentence is seen only in grammar books.

< M5 + k1 <
E.g., #FX + Z@ +

123%X-IJK, a type of IJK (suffix), is suffixed to a 637 8 (root) or a 1Œ5


8 (noun) to create
a new 637 8 (root).
A group of 12 IJKs, beginning (Z%X) with 12, < is called 123%X .
That which ends (M5) with 123%X-IJK is called 12345 and it becomes a 637 8 by
PāŽini-sūtra 3.1.32 123453 637# ¦
The new 637 8 is called 12345-637 8 (that root which ends with 123%X-IJK).

637 8 /1Œ5@
8 < 123%XIJK = new 637 8 called 12345637 8

Topic II – Brief Explanations of Five Types of #$%&

Some of the 123%X-IJKs are:


< an indicatory letter) is used in the sense of “to desire to do
< is the content and 2 is
1) 12 (1
…” and suffixed to a 637 8 to make a new 637 8 whose meaning will be “to desire to do the
action indicated by the 637”8 .

<
For example, to make a new 637 8 whose meaning is “to desire to know”, the 12 IJK is
<
suffixed to §3 (to know) 637.8 After some modifications, §3 + 12 becomes %k§31. As it
ends with one of the 123%X-IJKs, %k§31 is qualified to be a new 637,8 and it can be
conjugated as %k§31%7, %k§317 , etc.

2) %Ql (H <
< is the content and Q and <
l are indicatory letters) is used in the sense of “to make
somebody do …” and suffixed to a 637 8 to make a new 637 8 whose meaning will be “to
make somebody do the action indicated by the 637”8 .

For example, to make a new 637 8 whose meaning is “to make somebody know”, the %Ql <
<
IJK is suffixed to §3 (to know) 637.8 After some modifications, §3 + %Ql becomes §3%W.
As it ends with one of the 123%X-IJKs, §3%W is qualified to be a new 637,8 and it can be
conjugated as §3WK%7, §3WK7 , etc.

3) KV < (K is the content and V < is an indicatory letter) is used in the sense of “to do …
frequently or intensively” and suffixed to a 637 8 to make a new 637 8 whose meaning will
be “to do the action indicated by the 637 8 frequently or intensively”.

For example, WFW K (to drink again and again) is a new 637 8 derived from W3 (to drink)
< go) and KV.<
with KV < suffix. kNª (to go frequently or intensely) is derived from S@ (to

<
4) ql/;3ªl <
/qV < are suffixed to nouns in various senses to make a new 637.8

For example, “W„8 K” and “W„;3ª”


8 are new 637s8 . Both mean “to desire a son”. They are
8 ”< (son) suffixed by “ql”< and “;3ªl”,< respectively.
derived from a noun “W„@

Some of the ;$ 7-IJKs are:

Sanskrit, the same thing is told as “7$l-IJK < suffixed to a 637 8 to
8 7F¦“. 7$l is
;7]%h IK¯
make a new I3%7W%X; whose meaning is “the agent of the action indicated by the 637”8 .

For example, to make a new I3%7W%X; whose meaning is “the knower, agent of
<
knowing,”, the 7$l IJK <
is suffixed to §3 (to know) 637.8 §3 + 7$l becomes §37$. As it ends
<
with one of the ;$ 7-IJKs, §37$ is qualified to be a new I3%7W%X;, and it is declined as
“§373, §373h¥, §373h ”, etc. in masculine.

2) v (7 is the content and ; < is an indicatory letter) is used generally in the sense of the
object of an action in the past. In Sanskrit, the same thing is told “v-IJK ;@]%Q p‡7 F
8 7F¦“. v is suffixed to a 637 8 to make a new I3%7W%X; whose meaning is “the object of
IK¯
the past action indicated by the 637”8 .

For example, §37 means “that which is known”. v-ending words decline according to
the gender of the noun which is being qualified by the v-ending word.

3) ye8 < (K 8 is the content and [ < and e < are indicatory letters) is suffixed to a 637 8 to indicate
mainly the instrument or location of the action of the 637,8 or the meaning of the 637 8
itself. In Sanskrit, “ye8 <-IJK ;hQF M%6;hQF p3#F l IK¯
8 7F ¦”. The K 8 is replaced by M2. The

new I3%7W%X; becomes M-ending and is mainly used in neuter gender.

4) tc3 (c3 is the content and ; < is an indicatory letter) is used to indicate an action which
happens prior to another action. The agent of both actions has to be the same. The new
I3%7W%X; is MsK (indeclinable).

More IJKs and their details are found in Topic VII.

Topic II – Brief Explanations of Five Types of #$%&

3. 7%>7-#$%& (A new nominal base derived from a nominal base)

7%>7-IJK, a type of IJK, is suffixed to a I3%7W%X; to create a new I3%7W%X;.


<
That which ends with 7%>7-IJK becomes a I3%7W%X; by PāŽini-sūtra 1.2.46 ;$ 7-7%>7-
1@313¬ ¦
<
The new I3%7W%X;@ which ends with 7%>7-IJK is called 7%>735 (that which ends with
7%>7-IJK).

< 7%>7IJK = new I3%7W%X;@ called


I3%7W%X;@ + < 7%>735@ <

For certain 7%>7-IJKs to be suffixed, I3%7W%X; has to be with certain %#p%v (case). For
example, c, one of the 7%>7-IJKs, is suffixed to a I3%7W%X; ending with 6th case.

Examples of 7%>7-#$%& :

Topic II – Brief Explanations of Five Types of #$%&

Some of the 7%>7-IJKs are:

1) c is suffixed to a I3%7W%X; with a 6th case nominal suffix to make a new I3%7W%X; whose
< th
meaning is “the status (p3#) of ...”. For example, c is suffixed to D; (one) with V1 (6
case singular suffix) to make a new I3%7W%X; D;c (the status of one, oneness). Its %#+,#3q
is D;} p3# D;c@ ¦< c-ending I3%7W%X; declines as M-ending neuter word.

2) ‚P (K <
< is the content, G and <
P are indicatory letters) is used in the same sense as c. The
<
indicatory letter P indicates that the first vowel of the MN (to which the suffix is
enjoined) should take #$%>. Then the last M#Q] (any type of M) or H#Q] (any type of H) of the
MN drops. Thus the I3%7W%X; °q can be derived from D; to mean “the status of one,
<
oneness”. ‚P-ending I3%7W%X; declines as M-ending neuter word.

<
3) @7Ww 8 (@7 < the content, `w and W are
is < indicatory letters) is suffixed to a I3%7W%X; with 1st case
ending to create a new I3%7W%X; whose meaning is “the one who has …”.
<
For example, to make a new I3%7W%X; whose meaning is “one who has pS”, @7Ww 8 IJK is
suffixed to pS . After necessary modifications, such as the elision of the nominal suffix
< @7Ww 8 with
of pS and substitution of @ of < #, < the new I3%7W%X; becomes pS#7 and
< declines
in all three genders.

< the content and Hw is indicatory letter) is used in the same sense as @7Ww 8 . < The last
4) H%2w (H2 is
<
M#Q] or H#Q] of the MN is elided and the new I3%7W%X; becomes H2-ending word.

5) A variety of 7%>7-IJKs are suffixed to names (proper nouns) to make a new I3%7W%X;
indicating “a descendent of …”. For example, p3h7 (son of ph7) is derived by suffixing
<
MQ-IJK to a proper noun “ph7”.

<
6) 7%1w[ < and €3[ < (71 and €3 are the contents, respectively) are suffixed to a 1#]23@ (pronoun)
to make a new I3%7W%X; indicating 5th case meaning and “in the manner” of that pronoun.
For example, 77 (from that) is derived from a 1#]23@ “77”< (that) by suffixing 7%1w[-IJK.

<
2 [@ (blue) <

E.g., W 7@ (yellow) <
+ M²h@ (clothes) K} (for whom) 1 (he is)
= W 73²h (one for whom clothes are yellow) = %#µ 8 (Lord Vi›Žu)

4. m™-1@31 (Type D)
W‡#W] X@ < + `&hWX@ <

o The meanings of both words have equal predominance. (`pKWX-M€ ]-I632@)<


E.g., h3@ (Rāma) l (and) + [³Q (Lak›maŽa) l (and) = h3@[³Q¥ (Rāma and
Lak›maŽa)

Predominance is decided by supplying a verb and examining which WX is denoted by


the verb. For example, “2 [\‘[- %#;1%7 ¦“ (Blue lotus blooms.) What blooms is the lotus,
not the blue. Thus `‘[ (the lotus) is predominant in the compound. Similarly, in
“W 73²h S¨%7 ¦“, neither yellow nor garment goes. Who actually goes is the meaning of
another word, %#µ 8 . Thus M´WX is decided to be predominant.

Topic II – Brief Explanations of Five Types of #$%&

5. D;EFG-#$%& (A new nominal base derived by keeping one word out of many)

D; means “one”, and EFG means “remaining, balance”. Together they mean
“remaining of one word”.
When two or more I3%7W%X;s are present together in a same sentense, only one
remain under certain conditions. This is called D;EFG. The one which remains
represents other I3%7W%X;s.

Examples of D;EFG-#$%& and %#+, :

Some of the D;EFG examples are:

1) When there are two or more I3%7W%X;s, which are in the same form when in the same
case, only one I3%7W%X; remains among them. For example, when they are two "h3@"s
which are to be used in the same case ending, only one form h3@ remains.The duality
(the sense of two-ness) is expressed by the dual number of the nominal suffix when
declined.

Topic II – Brief Explanations of Five Types of #$%&

2) In the same manner, when any number of I3%7W%X;s, which have the same form in the
same %#p%v, are used in one sentence, only one remains as D;EFG#$%&. The Number of the
members is expressed when the D;EFG#$%& is declined.

3) When there are I3%7W%X;s indicating male and female members of a class or species,
only the masculine I3%7W%X; remains among them. For example, ,-1 is a female goose
and ,-1 is a male goose. They both belong to the same species. When used in the same
sentence, only one masculine form remains. The %#+, of the word ,-1¥ can be “,-1 l
,-1¬ ,-1¥ ¦“ or “,-1¬ ,-1¬ ,-1¥ ¦“. Both are possible.

4) Similarly, when there are I3%7W%X;s ·37$ (brother) and •1$ (sister), or W„8 (son) and ¸%,7$
(daughter) in a sentence, used in used in the %#p%v, only the masculine I3%7W%X;
remains. The %#+, of the D;EFG#$%& will be “·37h¥” can be “·373 l •13 l ·37h¥ ¦“ or
8
“·373 l ·373 l ·37h¥ ¦“. Similarly, the %#+, of the D;EFG#$%& “W„¥” can be “W„8 l ¸%,73 l
8 ¦“ or “W„8 l W„8 l W„»
W„¥ 8 ¦“.

5) When there are I3%7W%X;s in the same form expressed in neuter gender as well as other
8 ¬ E¹
genders, only the I3%7W%X; in neuter remains. As in “E¹ 8 3 l E¹
8 - l E¹
8 3%2 ¦“.

6) When there are I3%7W%X;s %W7$ (father) and @37$ (mother) in the same %#p%v in a sentence,
the D;EFG is optional. If the D;EFG happens, only the form %W7$ remains as “@373 l %W73 l
%W7h¥¦”. If the D;EFG does not happen, they take %#p%v separately and become 2 WXs.
Then m™ 1@31 happens, as “@373 l %W73 l @373%W7h¥”, @37$ word comes first because of the
regulation which states the more respected member should come first in the m™-1@31.

defines 123%X-IJK-ending words to be qualified to be called 637.8

The new 637 8 which ends (M5) with 123%X-IJK is called 12345-637 8 (that which end

with 123%X type of suffix).

123%X-IJKs indicate actions related to the 637 8 or 1Œ5-

For example, to make a new 637 8 indicating an action “to make somebody do”, %Ql is
suffixed to the 637 8 ;$ (to do). The last Å, which is H;,< takes #$%> because of the H7 letter
< < %Ql. <

When Å or Õ becomes MQ, < it is mandated to be followed by h.< Thus the #$%> substitute for the
Å of 637 8 ;$ is #$%> letter Z followed by h,< together Zh.< Then the new 637 8 becomes ;3%h. Hence, ;$

< suffixed
For example, to make a new 637 8 indicating an action “to desire to drink”, 12 is
to the 637 8 W3 (to drink). After the modifications shown below, the new 637 8 becomes %WW31.
1) W3 + 12 < < suffixed to the 637 8 W3 (to drink).
A 123%X-IJK 12 is
By the addition of the suffix, W3 is qualified to be an MN.
2) W3 +1 < 12 is
2 of < H7 thus
< elided.
3) W3 + W3 + 1 <
When 12-IJK <
is suffixed, 637 8 undergoes %mc@ (reduplication).
4) %W + W3 + 1 The first one of the two undergoes further modifications.
5) %WW31 This is the final form. Being 12345, this is qualified to be a 637.8

From the new 12345-637,8 %7V5 (verbs) can be made by suffixing %7V-< IJKs. The
conjugation of the 637 8 in present tense in active voice will be %WW31%7 (he desires to drink, he is
thirsty), %WW317 , %WW31%5 …
1) %WW31 + [e < To conjugate in present tense, [e < is suffixed.
2) %WW31 + %7W < In the place of [;3h, %7V < is the substitute.
< %7
3) %WW31 + EW + <
In [e <, SQ%#;hQ EW IJK is suffixed to 637.8
4) %WW31%7 After removing H7s,< and sandhi, this is the last form.

<
;$ 7-IJK “`” denotes the agent of 12345637 8 and makes a new I3%7W%X;. For example,
%WW31 (to desire to drink) + ` (agent) makes %WW31 8 (one who is thirsty), %k§31 (to desire to
know) + ` (agent) makes %k§31 8 (one who wants to know). The new I3%7W%X; declines as `-
8
ending, like S’.

<
Another ;$ 7-IJK is “M”, which makes a new Z-ending feminine I3%7W%X; denoting the
action itself. For example, from the new 12345637 8 %WW31 (to desire to drink), by suffixing M
<
and feminine suffix e3W (Z), a new I3%7W%X; %WW313 (thirst) is made. Note that feminine suffix
<
e3W (Z) is suffixed to certain M-ending feminine word without adding any extra meaning.
<
Similarly, %k§313 (desire to know) is made by suffixing M and feminine suffix e3W (Z) to a
12345637 8 %k§31 (to desire to know).

%mc@ (Reduplication)

637s8 undergo reduplication, %mc, when the 637s8 are suffixed with certain IJKs such as:
• %[e < (verbal suffix in perfect past tense)
• <
12 (desiderative)
• KV < (intensive)
• Þ 8 (conjugational suffix for 3rd conjugation)
• other specific instances
When and how the 637s8 should be reduplicated are described from PāŽini-sūtra 6.1.1
onwards.
After reduplicating a 637,8 in other words after repeating a 637 8 twice, the first one of the
two is called “MÁ31”.
The MÁ31 undergoes a process called “MÁ31-;3K]”, which is described from PāŽini-sūtra
7.4.58 onwards.
Here is a basic outline of the process of MÁ31:
a) The vowel becomes ß• (short). (7.4.59 ß• ¦)
b) Only the initial consonant remains. Any other consonants are elided. (7.4.60
,[3%X EFG ¦)
c) ;#S] and , < become their corresponding l#S] letters. (7.4.62 ;8,\¬ 8 ¦)
d) Å becomes M. (7.4.66 `h7¦)<

;$ 7-IJK3 (Suffixes to a root to make a new nominal base)

<
;$ 7-IJKs are the suffixes added to a 637 8 (root) to make a new I3%7W%X; (nominal base).

<
637 8 + ;$ 7-IJK = I3%7W%X;@ <

<
In other words, nominalization of 637 8 is done by suffixing ;$ 7-IJK. Or, by suffixing

<
;$ 7-IJK, 637 8 gets nominalised. (*1)

<
There are more than 100 ;$ 7-IJKs. They are found in PāŽini-sūtras 3.1.93 to 3.4.76.

8
The new I3%7W%X; and the declined form (1Œ5) <
of that I3%7W%X; are called ;$ X5@ (verbal

derivative nouns, or nominalised root).

<
;$ 7-IJKs denote ;3h; (agent, object, etc.) or/and p3# (action itself) of the 637.8

<
Some ;$ 7-IJKs can also express additional sense such as tense of the action.

*1: PāŽini-sūtra 3.1.91 declares that from there onward and up to the end of the 3rd chapter,
all the IJKs enjoined are to be suffixed to 637.8 PāŽini-sūtra 3.1.93 teaches that all the IJKs
<
other than the 18 %7V-< IJKs are ;$ 7-IJK. <
Then PāŽini-sūtra 1.2.46 defines that ;$ 7-IJK-ending
words are qualified to be called I3%7W%X;@. <

34
Topic VII – Kodanta – ;$ X5@ <

<
i. Basic sense of ;$ 7-IJK
<
A ;$ 7-IJK indicates/denotes any one of ;3h; (;73], ;@], ;hQ@, < etc.) or p3#, the meaning

of the 637 8 itself.

A637 8 indicates action.

<
A 637 8 and a ;$ 7-IJK meet together to make a single I3%7W%X;.

The new I3%7W%X; indicates/denotes the ;3h; of the action or p3# of the action.

For example:

<
§3 (to know) + 7$l (agent, ~er) = §37$ (agent of knowing, knower)

§3 is a 637 8 indicating the action of knowing.

< a ;$ 7-IJK
7$l is < indicating the agent (;73]).

<
The 637 8 and ;$ 7-IJK make a new I3%7W%X; indicating the agent of knowing.

8
This type of derivation is called ;7]%h s‘%& (derivation in the sense of agent).

[\; < (to experience) + zP (object,


< ~ed) = [\; (object of experience, experienced)

[\; < is a 637 8 indicating the action of experience.

zP is <
< a ;$ 7-IJK indicating the object (;@]).

<
The 637 8 and ;$ 7-IJK make a new I3%7W%X; indicating the object of experience.

8
This type of derivation is called ;@]%Q s‘%& (derivation in the sense of object).

<
All ;$ 7-IJKs are used in the sense of ;3h; and/or p3#. Thus ;3h; and p3# are called

“the basic sense” in this book.

35
Topic VII – Kodanta – ;$ X5@ <

<
ii. Additional sense of ;$ 7-IJK
<
On top of the basic sense, some ;$ 7-IJKs can indicate time of the action, necessity of

action, and so on. These are called “additional sense”.

For example:

<
§3 (to know) + v#7 w 8 (agent, ~er) + (of the past action) = §37#7 (one who knew)

§3 is a 637 8 indicating the action of knowing.

<
v#7 w 8 is a ;$ 7-IJK indicating the agent of the action in the past.

<
The 637 8 and ;$ 7-IJK makes a new I3%7W%X; indicating the agent of knowing,

which happened in the past.

< reach) + 7s (object, ~ed) + (necessity) = S5s (that which should be reached)
S@ (to

< a 637 8 indicating the action of going.


S@ is

<
7s is a ;$ 7-IJK indicating the object of the action which is necessary.

<
The 637 8 and ;$ 7-IJK makes a new I3%7W%X; indicating the object of reaching,

which should be done.

<
When studying ;$ 7-IJKs, the following 7 things are to be known:

<
1) What the ;$ 7-IJK denotes
<
2) Content of the ;$ 7-IJK
<
3) H7 letters <
of the ;$ 7-IJK and their functions
4) Special modifications of IJK and MN
5) Gender (%[N) of the new I3%7W%X;
6) Declension of the new I3%7W%X;
< the ;$ 7-#$
7) %#+,#3q@ of < %&
<
In this book, each ;$ 7-IJK will be introduced with these 7 aspects.

<
In this book, ;$ 7-IJKs are introduced in the order of MÚ3Ó3K (PāŽini-sūtra).

36
Topic VII – Kodanta – ;$ X5@ < ;@]%Q & p3#F ;$ J3

1. ;$ J3 in ;@]%Q & p3#F

<
There are 6 ;$ 7-IJKs together called ;$ J3 .

These 6 ;$ J3 IJKs are K7, < qW, < rK7, < 7s7, < 7s, M2 Kh.<

;$ J3 IJKs are enjoined in the section of PāŽini-sūtra from 3.1.95 to 3.1.132.

<
;$ J is a subcategory of ;$ 7-IJKs.

All ;$ J3 IJKs are used in the same sense.

• Basic meaning: ;@] (object) and also p3# (meaning of the 637 8 itself)

• Additional meanings: the sense of direction, fitness, necessity, capacity, etc.

The meanings of all of the six ;$ J-ending are:


Object which shold be done, object which is fit be done, object which is necessarily to
be done, object which is possible to be done;
Action which shold be done, action which is fit be done, action which is necessarily to
be done, action which is possible to be done;
In the examples, only one meaning is written as a sample to save space.
<
After removal of H7 letters, the contents of the ;$ J3 are 3 types:

a. K7, < qW, < rK7 (the


< content is “K”)

b. 7s7, < 7s (the content is “7s”)

c. M2 Kh <(the content is “M2 K”)

<
H7 letters of IJK determine how MN should be modified. For example:

< §FK (When K7 is


a. §3 (to know) + K7 = < suffixed, Z of the 637 8 is modified into D.)

g 8 (to praise) + qW < = gJ 8 -< ZS@ is added because qW is


8 (7; < %W7.)<

;$ (to do) + rK7 < = ;3K] (Because rK7 is


< %Q7,#$< %> takes place in MN.)

b. ;$ (to do) + 7s = ;7]s


c. ;$ (to do) + M2 K = ;hQ K
Among these ;$ J3 suffixes, 7s7, < 7s, M2 Kh <can be suffixed to any 637.8
Among K7, < qW, < and rK7, < the characteristics of the 637 8 determines which one of them

A ;$ 7-IJK v#7 w 8 is suffixed to the 637 8 §3 (to know).
By the addition of the suffix, §3 is qualified to be an MN.
2) §3 + 7#7 < ; < and `w of v are H7 letters
< and hence elided.
3) §37#7 < <
Being ;$ X5 (that which ends with ;$ 7-IJK), this is qualified to
be a I3%7W%X;@ <
The new I3%7W%X; declines in the same manner as pS#7. < In masculine, it declines as
§37#32, < §37#5¥, §37#5 , §37#5@, < §37#5¥, §37#7 , §37#73, etc. In feminine, a æ -IJK (feminine
suffix) † is added. The feminine form §37#7 declines in the same manner as 2X , such as
§37#7 , §37#J¥, §37#J , etc.

To make a new I3%7W%X; which denotes p3# (the action itself), the following ;$ 7-IJKs
are suffixed to a 637.8
a. ye8 < denotes p3# (action itself). It can also denote ;hQ, M%6;hQ, and any ;3h;s
<
b. zP denotes < s] (See below)
zP-M€

ye8 < is suffixed to any 637 8 to make a I3%7W%X; denoting the action itself (p3#). ye8 < is
similar to the English suffix “-ing”. Examples in English include “sleeping is a good
remedy”, “telling lies is not good”, etc.

<
zP and <
%v2 etc. are suffixed only to certain 637s8 in certain meanings.
Similar suffixes in English are “-tion”, “-ance”, etc. They are to be suffixed only to
certain roots in certain meanings, such as “station”, “entrance”, etc.

• ;hQ (instrument) and M%6;hQ (locus)
• Anything else is also possible by the %EÚIK\S.
2) Content of ye8 <-IJK

• When ye8 < is in the sense of ;hQ or M%6;hQ, the gender is decided according to
the existing forms by the usage of learned people (%EÚIK\S).
6) Declension of the new I3%7W%X;
• ye8 <-ending words decline as M-ending neuter, like §32. (§3 + ye8 <)

E.g., XE]2 - Ö%Ú ¦ Both words are made of ÖE (1P) <
to see with p3#-M€ ]-;$ 7-IJKs. The
meaning of both words is “seeing, sight, vision”.
• In ;hQF, a %7V5 word with “M22F ”, a 3rd case ending of HX@, < is used to show that
the word is used as an instrument. E.g., ÖÔK7F M22F H%7 XE]2@ ¦< (That by which

To make a new I3%7W%X; which is treated as MsK (indeclinable), the following ;$ 7-IJKs

are suffixed to a 637.8

a. tc3 denotes a previous action when there are two actions done by the same agent.
e.g., §3 (to know) + tc3 = §3c3 (having known)
< a substitute for tc3 when the 637 8 comes along with `W1S].
b. yW is

What is MsK ?

Some I3%7W%X;s are given a technical term “MsK@”< in PāŽini-sūtras.

<

IJK is suffixed so that it makes the MsK a WX@, < a word that can be used in the

WX@ ¦.

<
Any 1W8 -IJK suffixed to an MsK should be elided, in other words, it should become

invisible. (This rule is enjoined by PāŽini-sūtra 2.4.82.) Even after elision, the status of

8
being 1Œ5 <
(that which ends with 1W8 -IJK) is retained, so that the word can be used in

the language.

<
Because of the elision of 1W8 -IJK, for a I3%7W%X; that is deemed MsK-1-§3, declension is

as though not there. This is the reason for the name “indeclinable”.

To make a sentence “having done action A, he does action B”, tc3 IJK is suffixed after
a 637 8 indicating action A.
For example, in the sentence “Having known the meaning, he writes the verses,” two
actions belong to the same ;73]. “Knowing the meaning” happens prior to “writing the verses.”
Thus tc3 IJK is suffixed to a 637 8 indicating “to know.”
To make a word whose meaning is “having known”:
1) §3 + tc3 <
A ;$ 7-IJK 3 is suffixed to the 637 8 §3 (to know).
By the addition of the suffix, §3 is qualified to be an MN.
2) §3 + c3 ; < of tc3 is H7 letter
< and hence elided.
3) §3c3 Being ;$ X5, that is a I3%7W%X;@ <
Also, being a tc3 ending word, it is an MsK@. <
Only after getting the status of WX, a word is qualified to be used in a Sanskrit language.
<
In order to become a WX, being a I3%7W%X;, 1W8 -IJK <
must be suffixed to §3c3. Since any 1W8 -IJK
after an MsK has to be elided (become invisible) by grammar rule, MsK words as though do
not decline, keeping the same form.

tc3 can take He <-ZS@ when the 637 8 is 1Fe <. W < (to study) is a 1Fe < 637.8 To make a word
whose meaning is “having studied”:
1) W < + tc3 <
A ;$ 7-IJK 3 is suffixed to the 637 8 W < (to study).
By the addition of the suffix, W < is qualified to be an MN.
2) W < + c3 ; < of tc3 is H7 letter
< and hence elided.
3) W < + Hc3 Because W < is a 1Fe < 637,8 He <-ZS@ is attached to c3.
4) W% c3 Being ;$ X5, this is a I3%7W%X;@. <

Generally, the meaning of a 7%>7-#$%& (7%>7-IJK-ending word) can be said by other

words. For example, the meaning of a 7%>7-#$%& “zec@”< (pot-ness) is expressed as

“ze} p3# ” (the status of pot). This is the %#+,#3q of the 7%>7-#$%&. The same meaning

can be conveyed either by 7%>7#$%& or %#+,#3q.

*1: All the IJKs enjoined under the whole 4th and 5th chapters are to be suffixed to I3%7W%X;s.
<
PāŽini-sūtra 4.1.2 enjoins the 21 1W8 -IJKs. Sūtras 4.1.3 to 4.1.81 enjoin æ -IJKs, additional

[|Q-#3q@ <

< used to explain the meaning of a 7%>7-IJK.


[|Q-#3q@ is

[|Q-#3q consists a pronoun 7X <. The 7X < is replaced by a I3%7W%X; to make a %#+,#3q.

Thus [|Q-#3q is like a universal %#+,#3q of a given 7%>7-#$%&.

For example, %#+,#3q of a 7%>7#$%& “zec” is “ze} p3# ”. [|Q#3q of a 7%>7 IJK “c” is

“7} p3# ”. By this [|Q-#3q we can understand that c is suffixed to a I3%7W%X; ending

with 6th case to denote “the status (p3# ) of … (7})”.

< a given 7%>7-#$%& is called [|Q-#3q@. < In the previous


The universal %#+,#3q@ of

example, c is the 7%>7-IJK and its [|Q-#3q is “7} p3# ”. By this [|Q-#3q we can

understand that c is suffixed to a I3%7W%X; ending with 6th case to denote “the status

(p3# ) of … (7})”.

To understand 7%>7-IJKs, the following things need to be known:

< the 7%>7-IJK


1) [|Q-#3q@ of

2) Content of the 7%>7-IJK

<
3) H7 letters of the 7%>7-IJK and their functions

4) Special modifications of IJK and MN

5) Gender (%[N) of the new I3%7W%X;

6) Declension of the new I3%7W%X;

To make a new I3%7W%X; which denotes a descendant of a given person or family, the

person or family.

<
a. MQ/MP <

These 7%>7-IJKs indicating “descendant of …” are called MWJ3€ ]-IJKs.

The [|Q#3q of these 7%>7-IJKs is “7} MWJ@”.< From this [|Q#3q it is understood

that these 7%>7-IJKs denote descendant (MWJ@),< and these are suffixed to a 6th case

For example, instead of saying ;b37, < which is %;@ +


< Wf@ %#p%v , 7%1w[ < can be added to
< the sense of 5th case:
%;@ in
;b37 < + 7%1w[ < A 7%>7-IJK 7%1w[ < is suffixed after a I3%7W%X; with the 5th case
ending. The sense of 7%1w[ < is •3€® (the meaning of itself).
< V%1w + 7%1w[ <
1) %;@ + < V%1w
This is an M[¥%;;%#+, . By the addition of the suffix, %;@ +
< V%1w + 7%1w[”,

< V%1w + 71 <
2) %;@ + <
Hw is for ` 3hQ, and [ < is an H7 letter and hence elided.

3) %;@ + + 71 < <

4) ;8 + 71 < < <, %;@ is

5) ;871 < This is the final form of the 7%>7-#$%& . All I3%ƒXE K-7%>7IJK-ending

<
Being a I3%7W%X;, 1W8 -IJK is suffixed for gaining the status of WX. However, being an MsK,
<
the 1W8 -IJK has to be elided. Thus the forms appears as though they were not declined.

Basic concept of 1@31-#$%&


8
(A new I3%7W%X; made by compounding 1Œ5s)

8
Two or more 1Œ5s (nouns) which are meaningfully linked can be compounded into
< called a 1@31-#$%& .
a new I3%7W%X; (nominal base). That new I3%7W%X;@ is
Generally a compound is made with two nouns at a time.
Of the two nouns, the first noun is called the W‡#W] X@, < and the second noun is called
the `&hWX@. <

8
1Œ5@ < #W] X@)< + 1Œ5@
(W‡ 8 <
(`&hWX@)< = new I3%7W%X;@ called
< 1@31#$%&

A compound is called 1@31#$%& , 1@31 , or 1@gWX@. <

i. The difference between 1@31 and 1%•

o To become a 1@gWX (compound), there must be a meaningful connection (1@€ ] )


between the two nouns.
o To apply a 1%• rule, the two words need not to have a meaningful connection. Only
the sounds have to be next to each other.
For example, in “h3@\ @,F½h}3l]2 - ;h\%7 ¦”, the two words “@,3”and ”†½h” have a meaningful
connection, and hence compounded into a single word “@,F½h”, a 1@gWX. Between “@,3”and
“†½h”, a sandhi is applied since two vowels are next to each other. All other words are non-
compound words (sgWX). Between each word, if applicable, sandhi rules are applied.

157
Topic IX - 1@31 - Samāsa‹

ii. PāŽini-sūtras enjoining regulations on 1@31

PāŽini-sūtras 2.1.3 to 2.2.29 categorize the 1@31s into 4 types, and give the regulations
8
on what combinations are possible. Only certain 1Œ5s can be compounded to certain
8
1Œ5s. These possible combinations will be studied in this section.
PāŽini-sūtras 2.2.30 to 2.2.38 describe which word should come first in the compound.
8
In other words, those sūtras decide which 1Œ5 should be the W‡#W] X in the 1@31.
PāŽini-sūtras 6.3.1 to 6.3.110 describe the modifications of W‡#W] X, such as 1, becoming 1,
<
2P becoming M, etc.
PāŽini-sūtras 5.4.68 to 5.4.160, at the end of the 7%>7-IJK section, describe IJKs
enjoined at the end of certain combinations of nouns in 1@31.

iii. Process of making 1@31

In the process of making a compound, the status of “1@31 ” is given to a group of


words by the regulations in PāŽini-sūtras. Since that sentence is qualified as “1@31 ”, all 1W8 -<
IJKs are elided and only I3%7W%X;s remain in “1@31 ”. That is what we call a compound word.
Therefore, the meaning of a compound can be expressed by a sentence as well. We call that
sentence %#+,#3q@. <

#e} @‡[@ < This is a [¥%;;%#+, , a sentence in natural language.


By a regulation of PāŽini-sūtra these nouns are qualified to be
8

v. Steps of understanding 1@31

1. Try to understand the context.


2. Before understaning the meaning of 1@31#$%&, set %#p%v aside. Keep only I3%7W%X; of
1@31#$%& in view.
3. Identify the type of the whole 1@31#$%&. If the 1@31#$%& is not either MsK p3#1@31 or
m™1@31, which are fairly easy to identify, then compare the last word of the 1@31 and
8
the noun which is qualified by the 1@31. If they are equal, then the 1@31 is a 7‘’G1@31.
If not, it should be a Œ–— %,1@31.
4. If there are more than two words in the 1@31#$%&, resolve them by taking two words at
a time.
5. Finally, bring back the %#p%v that was kept aside in the step 2 by adding the declined
form of “7X <” word.

For each type of 1@31, these are the things to be known:

1) Which noun can be compounded as a W‡#W] X


2) with which noun, as an `&hWX
3) Special modification of compounded words
4) Gender and number of the compound

8
`WWX-7‘’G-1@31 <
is understood well when studied under the subject of `WWX-;$ 7-IJK, a
<
type of ;$ 7-IJK.
`WWX literally means “a word (WX) which is near (`W)”. However, the nearness is in terms
of the meaningful connection.
<
`WWX-;$ 7-IJK requires not only a 637 8 to which it is suffixed, but also an `WWX, a word
which is meaningfully connected to the 637,8 as a ;@], M%6;hQ, etc.
<
`WWX-;$ 7-IJKs are defined in the section of PāŽini-sūtras starting from 3.2.1
8
`WWX-7‘’G-1@31 is a type of compound in which the `WWX and the 637 8 with a `WWX-;$ 7-<
IJK are compounded.

`WWX 637 8 + `WWX;$ ÍJK


(;@], etc) + (;$ X5-I3%7W%X;)

For example, of a [¥%;;%#+, sentence “;8ý- ;h\%7”, “;8ý@”,< a ;@] of ;h\%7, is qualified to be
<
an `WWX according to a PāŽini-sūtra, by which a ;$ 7-IJK “MQ"< is enjoined to the 637 8 ;$ . Thus it
is now ;$ X5, not %7V5WX anymore. Then both words are qualified to be compounded. This
operation is reflected in the M[¥%;;%#+, .

;8ý- ;h\%7 This is a [¥%;;%#+, .

< ;$ + MQ <
1) ;8ý + M@ + This is an M[¥%;;%#+, . Being 1@31 , it is I3%7W%X;@. <

2) ;8ý + + ;$ + M <
All 1W8 -IJKs <
are elided inside I3%7W%X;. H7 letter is elided.

3) ;8ý + + ;3h <+ M <


Being a %Q7. < MQ causes #$%> to its MN, ;$ 637.8

4) ;8ý;3h This is the final form of 1@31. It is also a I3%7W%X;.

Now the new I3%7W%X; “;8ý;3h” declines in the gender of the word qualified by the 1@31,

“;8ý;3h”.

These are the things to be known about `WWX-7‘’G-1@31.

1) Which noun can be compounded as a W‡#W] X

• Certain nouns, termed “`WWX”, which is related to a 637 8 in the `&hWX.

2) With which noun, as an `&hWX

• The `&hWX was originally %7V5 in [¥%;;%#+,. However, in M[¥%;;%#+,, in stead

<
of %7V-< IJK, `WWX-;$ 7-IJK is suffixed to the 637,8 thus the `&hWX becomes ;$ X5.

• <
By default, the ;73] of the 637 8 is denoted by the `WWX-;$ 7-IJK.

3) Special modification of compounded words

• <
When forming `&hWX, necessary changes to the 637 8 caused by `WWX-;$ 7-IJK will

take place.

4) Gender and number of the compound

a. General Œ–— %,-1@31 (Type 1~7B)

In this type of compound, a group of nouns together designates another word.


Generally nouns in this compound have to be in apposition (1@323%6;hQ).
In some compounds, nouns which are not in apposition (s%6;hQ) are observed.

These are the things to be known about Œ–— %,-1@31s.


1) Which noun can be compounded as W‡#W] X
• Any noun
• When a noun termed %2u3 (v, v#7 w 8 ending), or 7th case ending noun is
compounded, it should be the W‡#W] X.
2) With which noun as `&hWX
• Any noun
3) Special modification of compounded words
• n/a
4) Gender and number of the compound
• Gender and number of M´WX, the meaning of the Œ–— %,-1@31.
5) Special note on %#+,#3q@ <
• Relative pronoun (KX <), which corresponds to the compound, is used in
[¥%;;%#+,.
• The KX < will always be in a case other than 1st case, while a corresponding 7X <
will always be in the 1st case.

For example:

by keeping one word out of many)

PāŽini-sūtras 1.2.64 to 1.2.73 form a section whose topic is D;EFG.

When two or more I3%7W%X;s are present together in a same sentense, only one (D;)

remain (EFG) under certain conditions, which are told in the section of PāŽini-sūtras.

The I3%7W%X; which remains is called D;EFG#$%& and it represents other I3%7W%X;s.

D;EFG#$%& is different from 1@31#$%&. D;EFG is a consolidation of certain I3%7W%X;s while

1@31 is compounding WXs. The rules for 1@31, compounding, in PāŽini-sūtras are

called WX%#%6s, injunctions for WXs, while the rules for D;EFG are not WX%#%6s.

When declining D;EFG#$%&, the number of the member in it is reflected by the #l2 of
