A kves tacchIla;taddharma;tatsAdhu-kAriSu ONPANINI 32134
Down to kvi, doers with habit, duty or skill.mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 327

headline. The tacchIlAdi affixes (those explained in the next rules) make words that mean the habitual doer of the root.

Habitual doers are those that are used to, or have a duty to, or are good at, doing the action of the root.

So, if you killed a few dogs accidentally, nonprofessionally, and unskilfully, no one can grammatically call you a dogkiller by using han with the tacchIlAdi affix tRn. But they may still use tRc, which is not a tacchIlAdi.

Similarly, rule glA;ji " ksnu after ji", tells us that jiSNu- means an habitual victor. An accidental victor might be jetR-, with tRc.

The tacchIlAdi affixes are all those described between the word tacchIla of this rule, and the word kvip of rule bhrAja;bhAsa;dhurvi; dyut';..orji;pRR; ju;grAvastuvaH kvip way below. These are some of them --

tRn ONPANINI 32135
tRn (means habitual doer.)mmmmmmmmm ^ M- C+ 328 accent

Example. With root kR "make", any maker is kR + tRc, but only a habitual doer is kR + tRn.

These two differ only in the accent, which the former gets from citaH and the latter from JnityAdi. So someone that makes chairs professionally or as a hobby gets accent in the first vowel of kartA --

AsandAnAGM k(a)rtA saH he's a maker of chairs, he's a chairmaker

but if you jump to fame for having made just one chair, and not particularly skillfully, then the last vowel is accented --

Asandasya kart(A) saH he's the maker of the chair, he is the Chairmaker, he is Elethiomel

glA;ji;sthaz ca ksnuH ONPANINI 32139
ksnu after glA ji sthA bhUmmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 330

The affix (k)snu can be added to glA ji sthA bhU to mean habitual doer --

glA + ksnu → glAsnu- "often weary"

ji + ksnu → jisnu →kric jiSnu →STunA jiSNu- "always victorious, conqueror"

sthA + ksnu → sthAsnu- "always firm"

bhU + ksnu →kric bhUSNu- "that often becomes"

Notice that ksnu got no iT after bhU because bhU ends with U, an uk vowel (see zryukaHkiti).

Add u' after san AzaMs bhikS (to mean the doer).mmmmmmmmm ^ M+ C+ 332

(This affix u' is not the same as the u added to uclass roots.)

After AzaMs "to desire", u' makes "desirous" --

AG + zaMs + u' → AzaMsu- "desirous"

After bhikS "to beg", makes "habitual beggar" --

bhikS- + u' → bhikSu- "(habitual) beggar"

After san, this u' makes adjectives that, by rule dhAtoHkarma, mean "that want to" or "that are going to" --

yudh + san + u' → yuyutsa + u →atolopaH yuyutsu- "(that) want(s) to fight"

han + san + u' + jas → jighAMsa + u' + jas →atolopaH jighAMsu + jas →jasica jighAMso + jas →ecoya jighAMsavas "(that) wanted to kill, that were about to kill"

Note. Even though rule AkvestacchI say all these can be used only when the action of the root is a habit, in fact only bhikSu- has habitual meaning. For instance, yuyutsus means one that is now going to fight, or wanting to fight. Not necessarily someone that often wants to fight.

bhrAja;bhAsa;dhurvi; dyut';..orji;pRR; ju;grAvastuvaH kvip ONPANINI 32177
bhrAj bhAs dhur, dyut Urj pRR, ju grAvastu get (k)v(ip) compulsorily.mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 333

The (k)v(ip) affix is a rootnounmaker, and means the doer by kartarikRt.

By rule kvipca, all roots may get kvip, not just these eight, and by vA 'sarUpo 'striyAm, most kvip are optional. This exception says that these eight can get only kvip, never the other rootnounmaker affixes.

The grAvastu in the list means that the root stu' "praise" only gets compulsory kvip when compounded after grAvan- "stone", to mean a stonepraiser. Other stu get optional kvip.

In (k)v(ip),

the i is padding,

the k label prevents puganta,

the p label triggers hrasvasyapitikRtituk,

and the v is real, but always disappears by vera.

Examples.

bhrAj + kvip → bhrAj- "shiner, someone or something that shines"

vi + bhrAj + kvip + jas vibhrAjas "those that shine all round, shining ones, gods"

vi + dyut + kvip + su vidyut "what shines all around, lightning"

grAvNasH stutaH "both praise stones" → grAvNas + stu + kvip + au →supodhA grAvan + stu + kvip + au →nalopaHprA grAva + stu + kvip + au →hrasvasyapiti grAva + stut + v + au →verapRktasya grAvastutau "two stone-praisers"

dA(p) nI zas, yu yuj stu', tud si sic', mih pat daz, nah (get tran) to mean a tool.mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 335

This tra(n) affix makes names of tools or organs (the karaNa in the rule does not mean the tool role).

It is in fact properly called (S)Tra(n) --

It is Sit, so the feminine gets GIS (see SidgaurA).

By titutrata, it never gets iT.

tra(n)-enders are neuter.

Examples --

dA(p) "cut" + tran → dAtra- "cutting tool, cutter, knife"

nI "lead, guide" + tran → netra- "leading tool, eye, GPS"

stu "praise" + tran → stotra- "flattering tool"

The gamin- class mean what will happenmmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 337

The gamin-class are group 41 in the ashtadhyayidotcom gaNapATha . They are made by adding some (N)in affix after a few roots. They are --

gamI . AgamI . bhAvI . prasthAyI . pratirodhI . pratiyodhI . pratibodhI . pratiyAyI . pratiyogI ..

Such affixes usually mean the doer of the root, by kartarikRt, and usually mean what is happening. For instance, an AnAyakas "bringer" (word made with Nvul affix) is someone that is now bringing, or that usually brings. However, because of this exception rule, these nine words mean what will happen after tomorrow. As in --

zvo gamI grAmam "he'll go to the village tomorrow, he plans to go to the village tomorrow"

The word bhaviSyati "to mean what will happen" of this rule trickles down to lRTassadvA.

tumun;Nvulau kriyAyAM kriyArthAyAm ONPANINI 33010
Add tum(un) or Nvul to an action that expresses the purpose of another action.mmmmmmmmm ^ M- C+ 338

This rule can be roughly reworded as --

" tum(un) and (N)vu(l) mean 'to' "

Example with tumun --

AneSyAmi "I will bring" → AG + nI + lRT A + nI + tumun →hardsoft Anetum "to bring"

Example with Nvul --

AneSyAmi "I will bring" → AG + nI + lRT A + nI + Nvul →yuvoranAkau A + nI + Nakal →acoJNiti Anai + aka →ecoya AnAyaka- "to bring"

These words can be used to mean that the action "I bring" is the purpose of another action, as in --

nirgacchAmy jalam Anetum "I'm going out to bring water"

nirgacchAmy jalam AnAyakaH "I'm going out to bring water"

In the last example, the nounbase AnAyaka- got su added because it has to agree with its doer (rule NvultRcau says so). The Anetum gets nothing because the tumun-enders are unchanging.

This rule can be used only when the purpose action and the other action have the same doer.

lRTaH sad vA ONPANINI 33014
lRT to sat optionally.mmmmmmmmm ^ M+ C+ 340

Rule laTazza says that we can replace the laT of, say, karoti "is doing", with a sat affix, to make an adjective kurvat- that means "that is doing".

This rule says that we may also replace the lRT of kariSyati "will do", with sat, to make an adjective kariSyat- that means "that is about to do" or "that wants to do".

Example --

ghaTaGM kariSyati means "he will make" (a pot, for instance) and is made from kR + lRT = kR + tip

replacing the tip with zatR we get kR + zatR, and that adds up to kariSyat-, a nounbase.

This kariSyat- nounbase is an adjective that describes whoever is about to make anything. In these examples kariSyat- describes rAma- --

rAmo ghaTam kariSyan harSati "rAma, that is about to make a pot, is very happy"

rAmaGM ghaTam kariSyantamM pazyAmi "I see rAma, that is about to make a pot"

or "I see that rAma is about to make a pot"

Another example --

ploSyate means "he will jump", and is made from plu + lRT = plu + ta.

Replacing ta with sat we get plu + zAnac, which adds up to ploSyamANa-, a nounbase that means "that is about to jump".

In these examples ploSyamANa- describes a monkey --

kapiH ploSyamANo harSati "monkey that is about to jump is very happy"

kapimM ploSyamANamM pazyAmi "I see monkey that is about to jump"

or "I see that monkey is about to jump"

These forms where lRT became sat are found sometimes. inria labels them with pfu, "participe futur", meaning future participle.

The words kariSyan and kariSyantam above are made this way --

(1) In the verb kariSyati "he will make", that comes from kR + lRT, we replace lRT with zatR, getting kR + zatR.

(2) As this zatR replaced lRT, it makes sya appear, by syatAsI. This makes nounbase kariSyat(R)- that has label R --

kariSyati → kR + lRT kR + zatR →syatAsI kR + sya + zatR →Rddhanossye karisyat- →kric kariSyat- "that is about to make"

(3) When we add su and am to this nounbase, as these are strong, rule ugidacA kicks in --

kariSyat + su →ugidacA kariSyants →halGyA kariSyant →saMyogAnta kariSyan "that is about to make"

kariSyat + am →ugidacA kariSyantam "that is about to make"

When the sup is not strong, of course ugidacA won't work. Example with weak zas --

Example. The verb kartAsmi "I will make" of this verse --

arakSasam imaM lokaGM kartAsmi nizitaiz zaraiH "I shall make this world rAkSasa-less with my arrows!"

is made from --

kR + luT mip → kR + tAs + mi →hardsoft kartAsmi "I'll make"

and has the same meaning as kariSyAmi "I'll make", which is built from kR + lRT mip.

The word anadyatane in the rule teaches that luT cannot be used to mean that something will happen today. That restriction is often ignored, so I didn't bother to translate it. Yet, it is true that in the epics most luT are accompanied by a word such as zvas "tomorrow".

Nowadays, there is no difference in meaning between the lRT and the luT, as far as I know. In the epics, however, the luT is used far less often than the lRT, and it appears to be used in mostly in promises, oaths and threats, like the above example.

Saying asmi kartA to mean kartAsmi "I will make" definitely sux, but you'll hear it sometimes.

bhAve ONPANINI 33018
(Roots get ghaJ) to mean the action.mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 342

In other words, ading (gh)a(J) after any root we get a masculine action noun. action nouns mean "an act of ...ing" or "the action of ...ing". So this affix turns to fly into a flight, to move into a movement, to sing into a song, to jump into a jump.

Being Jit, (gh)a(J) makes ata::upa, acoJNiti, JnityAdi work. Examples --

han + ghaJ + su →hohante ghan + ghaJ →hanasto ghat + ghaJ →ata::upa ghAtaH "a killing, a strike, an attack"

nI "lead" + ghaJ + su →acoJNiti nai + a + s →ecoya nAy + a + s → nAyaH "leading, policy, strategy"

Being ghit makes cajoHku work --

pac + ghaJ + su →cajoHku pak + aJ + s →ata::upa pAk + a + s → pAkaH "a cooking"

Action nouns can be formed by many other affixes, such as lyuT, or naG, or the a'' in yuyutsA- "desire to fight" (added to yuyutsa and all sananta) or the ti in mati- "thought, opinion" (added to root man "think").

Notice that the action nouns are not the same thing as the abstract nouns mentioned at tasya bhAvas tva-talau. In that rule, bhAva means state or nature, here the same word means action.

DvitaH ktriH ONPANINI 33088
Dvits get (k)trimmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 344

The Dvit are the roots that have label Du, such as (Du)pac(aS) "cook" and (Du)kR(J) a.k.a. kR "make" . All initial Du are labels, by Adir Ji;Tu;DavaH.

These roots can get (k)tri to mean the object. Then they gat ma by (k)tri gets ma(p) .

Examples --

pac + (k)tri →ktrerma pac + trima →coHkuH paktrima- "that has been ripened or cooked"

kR + (k)tri →ktrerma kRtrima- "artificial"

vap + ktri →vacisvapi up + tri →ktrerma uptrima- "sown, cultivated"

These examples imply deliberate action. So akRtrima- means natural, and anuptrima- means grown on its own, without sowing.

a pratyayAt ONPANINI 33102
a'' (forms feminine action nounbase) after sanAdyanta.mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 349

sanAdyanta roots may get a kRt affix a'' added to mean the action. As this action noun is a feminine, it always gets Ap, so it looks like A.

Example.

pA is a root and means "drink".

pipAsa is a root and means "want to drink".

pipAsanti (which is pipAsa + laT) means "they want to drink".

pipASA (which is pipAsa + a'') means "a wish to drink" or "thirst"

and nadIM yAnti pipASayA means "they go to the river with a wish to drink"

which is the same thing as saying "because of thirst"

Grammatical details.

pipAsa is a sanAdyanta root

Because of this rule, we may add a'' after pipAsa to get pipAsa-, that means "a wish to cook" and is feminine.

Being feminine, it always gets Ap added (see ajAdyata) Ap, making pipAsA- "thirst"

Examples with other sanAdyanta roots --

yuyutsa + a'' →atolopaH yuyutsa →ajAdya yuyutsA- "a wish to fight"

putrAn + kyac + a'' → putrIya + a'' →atolopaH putriya →ajAdya putriyA- "the wish for progeny"

putrAn + kAmyac + a'' → putrakAmya + a'' putrakAmyA- "the wish for progeny"

lU "reap" + yaG + a'' → lolUya + a'' lolUyA- "a repeated reaping, a hoarding"

kaNDUya "to itch, to scratch" + a'' kaNDUyA- "an itch, a scratch"

cint + Nic + a'' →NeraniTi cinta- →ajAdya cintA- "act of thinking, reflexion; worry"

Even though san verbs such as pipAsanti or yuyutsante are seldom used, the a'' derivatives such as yuyutsA- "a wish to fight" and the u' derivatives such as yuyutsu- "that wants to fight" are common.

The Sit roots, and the bhid-class, get aG' (to form feminine action nouns).mmmmmmmmm ^ M- C+ 351

This a(G), also known as aG', is a kRt affix. Not same as aG, a cli replacer.

The aG'-enders always get Ap by ajAdy;ataSTAp.

Ny;Asa;zrantho yuc ONPANINI 33107
Ni-enders, As, zranth get yuc (to form a feminine action noun).mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 352

This debars a''.

yu(c) becomes ana(c) by yuvoranAkau.

As + yuc → As + ana → As + ana + Ap → AsanA- "a sitting"

hAraNA- "a causing to take or seize"

lyuT ca ONPANINI 33115
lyuT makes neuter action nouns.mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 353

This (l)yu(T) affix is (l)ana(T) by yuvoranAkau, and makes neuter action nouns.

has + lyuT + su →yuvoranAkau has + ana + su →atom hasanam "laughter"

gamL + lyuT → gamana- "a going" @n

After some roots there is lyu instead of lyuT.

ISad;dus;suSu kRcchr%A-kRcchr%ArtheSu khal ONPANINI 33126
Add khal to a root compounded after ISad dus su' when they mean hardly or easily.mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 354

su' ISad mean easily, dus means with difficulty. After these, the (kh)a(l) affix replaces the usual kRtya affixes. So, we get kara-, made from kR + khal, and labha-, from labh + khal, in these compounds --

sukara- "easy to do"

duSkara- "hard to do"

(the S comes from idudupa)

durlabha- "hard to get"

ISatkara- "easy to do"

as in ISatkaro tvayA kaTaH "You can make the mat easily"

Works before preverbed roots too --

durutsaha- "hard to endure"

This rule is compulsory, so we may not use the usual Nyat yat etc, that would have made sukArya-, durlabhya- and so on.

Addition to ISad;dus;suSu.

After su' dus ISad that mean hardly or easily, the A-ender roots get yuc, that is, ana(c) --

su' + pA + khal su + pA + yuc →yuvoranA su + pA + ana →akassa supAna- "easily drinkable"

duSpAna- "hard to drink"

vartamAna-sAmIpye vartamAnavad vA ONPANINI 33131
What means near present, is optionally like present.mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 356

In other words: you may use the laT to mean inmediate future or recent past.

This rule works in English too -- saying "I'm outta here" with the present verb "am" to mean inmediate future time is okay.

Sanskrit examples --

gacchAmi "I'm leaving" (meaning I'm about to leave)

gacchAmas "we're leaving" (meaning let's go)

In Sanskrit we can use laT to mean recent past --

eSa Agacchami "lookie, I come" (meaning "lookie, I just came", "here I am")

This rule is optional, so we may still use expressions that convey the proper time, such as a kta or a lRT --

eSa Agato 'smi "look, I came"

gamiSyAmi "I'll leave" (we'd say "I'm leaving")

Note: we saw elsewhere that the loT affixes Ani''' Ama''' etc may be used to mean "let's go".

gacchAma "let's go"

Yet, in practice the laT affixes are use more often than the loT in that sense --

gacchAmas "we go ; let's go"

The epics use both. It appears to me that the most common is laT, and that the loT is often used mc. But I might be wrong.

liG-nimitte lRG kriyA-'tipattau ONPANINI 33139
Use lRG for future unfulfilled conditions and results.mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 357 tense

In other words, you may use the lRG for expressions like "if he knew he'd cry". Such a sentence may use lRG verbs both for "he knew" and for "he'd cry".

This rule is optional. And extremely so. In practice such hypotethical statements will almost always get liG, by hetuhetumator liG.

See formation of lRG for an example.

bhUte ca ONPANINI 33140
And for past ones too.mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 358

We can also use lRG to talk about what could have happened in the past but did not happen.

Example. According to the previous rule, we may use lRG tenses of "know" and "cry" to mean "if he knew he'd cry". According to this rule, the same exact sentence might mean "if he had known he'd have cried".

Such statements, too, get liG way more often than lRG.
