kRtyAH prAG NvulaH

कृत्याः प्राङ्ण्वुलः ONPANINI 31095

The following sUtras, before NvultRcau, describe the /kRtya affixes.

The /kRtya affixes are:

/tavya /tavyat /anIyar /kelimar /yat' /Nyat /kyap

These are /kRt affixes (means, added after roots).

The word kRtya- कृत्यॱ means "it has to / must / should / would / could / can be done". The /kRtya affixes give those meanings to any root —

kR कृ "do" + /Nyat → **kArya- कार्यॱ "that must be done", "(it) must be done"

kR कृ "do" + /tavya → **kartavya- कर्तव्यॱ "that must be done", "(it) must be done"

These words never show the doer.

They can be used as fakeverbs, namely, predicatively as the main word of a sentence —

kartavyam idaG karma ghoram कर्तव्यमिदं कर्म घोरम् "this terrible deed must be done"

or attributively —

kartavyaG karma karomy aham कर्तव्यं कर्म करोम्यहम् "I shall do the work that must be done".
