@referent of a verb

The referent of a verb that shows the doer is its doer.

Example. In —

sAlaM vipulam utpATya bhrAmayAm Asa vIryavAn |
सालं विपुलमुत्पाट्य भ्रामयामास वीर्यवान्।
"he uprooted a humongous tree and whirled it around with strength"

the referent of the verb bhrAmayAm Asa भ्रामयामास is the monkey hanumAn हनुमान्.

The referent of the noun vIryavAn वीर्यवान् is the same monkey.

This noun and this verb are in /samAnAdhikaraNa because they have the same referent.

Which word linksto which?

bhrAmayAmAsa भ्रामयामास linksto its doer role word vIryavAn वीर्यवान्.

sAlam सालम् hangsfrom bhrAmayAmAsa भ्रामयामास as its object role word.

vIryavAn वीर्यवान् hangsfrom bhrAmayAmAsa भ्रामयामास as its doer role word.

Why are referents important?

In the sentence rAmo rakSati रामो रक्षति, the verb **rakSati रक्षति is formed like this —

rakS रक्ष् + /laT
→ rakS रक्ष् + /tip by lasya
→ rakS रक्ष् + /zap + /tip by kartarizap
→ !**rakSati रक्षति "protects", "rules"

the /laT is replaced with /tip because rAma राम (the referent of **rakSati रक्षति) is one person, applying rules dvyekayordviv... and tAnyekavac....

The referent of a verb that shows the object is its object.

So in —

sarvato rakSyate panthA vAnaraiH parvatopamaiH |
सर्वतो रक्ष्यते पन्था वानरैः पर्वतोपमैः ।
"the road is protected from all sides by mountainlike monkeys"

the referent of the word **panthAs पन्थास् is a certain road, and the referent of the verb **rakSyate रक्ष्यते is that same road. So those two words are in /samAnAdhikaraNa.

rakS रक्ष् + /yak + /ta → !**rakSyate रक्ष्यते "is protected"

Which word linksto which?

The verb rakSyate रक्ष्यते linksto its object role **panthAs पन्थास्.

The noun parvatopamaiH पर्वतोपमैः links to vAnaraiH वानरैः.

panthAs पन्थास् hangsfrom rakSyate रक्ष्यते as its object role.

vAnaraiH वानरैः hangsfrom rakSyate रक्ष्यते as its doer role.
