plutapragṛhyā aci nityam
plutapragṛhyā aci nityam (6.1.125) — Pluta [protracted] and pragṛhya vowels invariably (nityam) remain in their natural form (prakṛtyā, undergoing no sandhi) when a vowel (ac) follows.

Rule. A pluta vowel (three mātrās, written 3 after the vowel) and a pragṛhya vowel (a vowel given that name by SK 100–109) invariably (nityam) keep their own form when any vowel (ac) follows. Keeping one's own form is prakṛtibhāva: no sandhi of any kind takes place. The word prakṛtyā, "in its own form", is not written in this sūtra; it comes in by anuvṛtti from an earlier rule. Bhaṭṭoji says the two kinds of vowel "will be defined later": the pluta by SK 93–97, the pragṛhya by SK 100–109.

Example.

ehi kṛṣṇa3 atra → the final a of kṛṣṇa is pluta (SK 95, calling from afar) → a3 + a would take savarṇadīrgha → pluta blocks it → ehi kṛṣṇa3 atra.

harī + etau → the ī of the dual harī is pragṛhya (SK 100) → ī + e would take yaṇ → pragṛhya blocks it → harī etau.

Applies when / blocked by. Only when a vowel follows; before a consonant there is no vowel sandhi to block. Why nityam, "invariably"? Because SK 91 is a rival: it also keeps a pada-final ī in its own form, but shortens it as well. SK 91 is the later sūtra, so by paratva it would win, and harī etau would lose its long ī. The word nityam says that the bare prakṛtibhāva of this rule — no shortening — is the one that must apply. Bhaṭṭoji's commentators put it this way: only the bare prakṛtibhāva of SK 90 is fit to apply here, and nityam is what makes it apply.

Watch out. prakṛtibhāva is not a change; it is the absence of one. When you derive a form, you still write the step, because it records that a rule of chapter 3 was set aside and why.

प्लुताः प्रगृह्याश्च वक्ष्यन्ते तेऽचि परे नित्यं प्रकृत्या स्युः । एहि कृष्ण 3 अत्र गौश्चरति । हरी एतौ । नित्यम् इति किम् । हरी एतावित्यादावयमेव प्रकृतिभावो यथा स्यात् इकोऽसवर्णे SK 91 इति ह्रस्वसमुच्चितो माभूत् ॥

The pluta and pragṛhya [vowels] will be defined [later]; they, when a vowel (ac) follows, invariably remain in their natural form (prakṛtyā). [Examples:] ehi kṛṣṇa³ atra gauś carati ("Come, Kṛṣṇa! Here a cow is grazing") — [the protracted a of kṛṣṇa³ does not combine with the following a]. harī etau ("these two, Hari…") — [the pragṛhya ī does not become yaṇ]. Why "invariably (nityam)"? So that in harī etau and the like, precisely this prakṛtibhāva [taught here] should obtain, and the prakṛtibhāva combined with shortening (hrasva) by iko 'savarṇe (SK 91) should not arise.

plutapragṛhyā aci nityam — As for "now [the section on] prakṛtibhāva": supply "is [now] examined (nirūpyate)." "The pluta and pragṛhya [vowels] will be defined": that is, [the pluta] by dūrād dhūte ca [A 8.2.84] and the like, and [the pragṛhya] by īd ūd ed [dvivacanaṃ pragṛhyam, A 1.1.11] and the like. "In their natural form (prakṛtyā)": because [the word prakṛtyā] recurs (anuvṛtti) from prakṛtyāntaḥpādam [A 6.1.115] — this is the idea. It means: they remain established in their own nature (svabhāva); that is to say, no sandhis take place.

"ehi kṛṣṇā³ atra": by dūrād dhūte ca, the a after the ṇ [of kṛṣṇa, in calling from afar] is pluta; for that [protracted a] there is no savarṇadīrgha before the [following] a. "harī etau": by īd ūd ed [dvivacanaṃ pragṛhyam], the ī after the repha [of the dual harī] is pragṛhya; for that [ī] there is no yaṇ substitution. — Objection: since in the previous sūtra, sarvatra vibhāṣā, the word vibhāṣā is not svarita [not an adhikāra], its discontinuance (nivṛtti) is already established; so what is the purpose of mentioning nityam here? — thus he asks, "why nityam?" He gives the answer with "harī etau": only when nityam is mentioned does, in harī etau and the like, this bare prakṛtibhāva [taught by] plutapragṛhyā aci alone obtain — this is the meaning. The word "yathā" [in Bhaṭṭoji's "yathā syāt"] is in the sense of fitness (yogyatā): this prakṛtibhāva alone is fit to obtain, and it would obtain [only] when nityam is mentioned — this is the meaning. So too further on in cases of this kind.

He shows what is excluded by [Bhaṭṭoji's] word "eva (alone)" with "ik": the prakṛtibhāva combined with shortening (hrasva), to be taught by iko 'savarṇe śākalyasya hrasvaś ca [A 6.1.127], should not arise (mā bhūt = should not occur). [In "mā bhūt,"] after the particle māṅ the aorist (luṅ) [is used]; [this is] an exception (apavāda) to [the use of] all the [other] tenses (lakāras). Were nityam not stated, then by posteriority (paratva) the prakṛtibhāva accompanied by the Śākala shortening would present itself [since iko 'savarṇe is the later rule]. But when nityam is stated, by the very force (sāmarthya) of that [word], the bare prakṛtibhāva [taught by] plutapragṛhyā overrides even the later Śākala [rule's] prakṛtibhāva combined with shortening — this is the meaning.

इकोऽसवर्णे शाकल्यस्य ह्रस्वश्च ॥ ९१ ॥
iko'savarṇe śākalyasya hrasvaśca
iko 'savarṇe śākalyasya hrasvaś ca — In Śākalya's view, a word-final ik [i/u/ṛ/ḷ] before a dissimilar (asavarṇa) vowel [remains in its own form], and [is made] short.

Rule. In Śākalya's view, an ik vowel (i u ṛ ḷ, long or short) at the end of a pada, before a dissimilar (asavarṇa) vowel, keeps its own form and becomes short (hrasva). Because a teacher is named, the rule is optional: the other alternative is ordinary yaṇ.

Example.

cakrī + atra → ī is pada-final ik, a is a dissimilar vowel → Śākalya: ī stays and is shortened to i → cakri atra.

cakrī + atra → the other alternative: iko yaṇ aci → ī becomes y → cakryatra.

Applies when / blocked by. The vowel must end a pada. In gauryau ("two fair ones") the ī of gaurī stands before the ending au, inside the word, so yaṇ is obligatory. Two vārttikas narrow the rule further. na samāse: not in a compound (samāsa) — vāpyām aśvaḥ ("a horse in the tank") compounds to vāpyaśvaḥ, with yaṇ and no option. siti ca: not before a sit affix, one whose marker (it) is s — in pārśvam ("the ribs"), formed from parśu with the sit affix ṆaS, the first vowel of parśu takes vṛddhi (ā) and the final u takes yaṇ (v), giving pārśvam; Śākalya's option does not arise. Bhaṭṭoji's commentators note that these two are one vārttika in the original, which Bhaṭṭoji explains as two.

Watch out. The sūtra prescribes only shortening; it does not say "and no yaṇ". Bhaṭṭoji, following the Bhāṣya, explains that shortening by itself implies keeping the vowel: if Pāṇini had wanted y here he would simply have prescribed yaṇ. So the ca need not be read as carrying prakṛtyā forward; the result is the same.

Word-final ik [vowels], before a dissimilar (asavarṇa) vowel, optionally remain in their original form (prakṛtyā) and [become] short. On this, it stands in the Bhāṣya: since prakṛtibhāva is already established by the very force of the injunction of shortening (hrasva-vidhi), the "ca" — whose [purpose would be] to carry that [prakṛtibhāva] forward — need not be made. cakri atra / cakryatra [prakṛtibhāva with short i, and the alternative with yaṇ]. Why "word-final"? [To exclude] gauryau.

iko 'savarṇe śākalyasya hrasvaś ca — He states the view of the author of the Bhāṣya with "atra hrasva…": here the "ca" need not be made, because carrying forward "prakṛtyā" would be purposeless. Nor should it be said that the "ca" serves to exclude yaṇ for the enjoined short vowel; for the exclusion of yaṇ is established by the very force of the hrasva injunction — otherwise [Pāṇini] would simply have prescribed yaṇ [instead]. Hence the "ca," whose [purpose is] to carry forward "prakṛtyā," need not be made — so it stands in the Bhāṣya. "cakri-atra" is the form on the alternative admitting the short vowel and prakṛtibhāva; but on the alternative without that, with yaṇ, the form is "cakryatra." Nor should one suspect here the elision of the k by "skoḥ saṃyogādyoḥ" [A 8.2.29]; because, by "acaḥ parasmin" [A 1.1.57] the yaṇ has sthānivadbhāva as [standing for] a vowel (ac), there is no pada-final conjunct. Nor should one suspect the prohibition of that [sthānivadbhāva] by "pūrvatrāsiddhe na sthānivat"; because of the statement "tasya doṣaḥ saṃyogādi-lopa-latva-ṇatveṣu" [which restricts that prohibition to conjunct-initial elision, l-substitution, and ṇ-substitution]. "na samāse" — this is a vārttika; meaning, the aforesaid Śākalya-rule does not apply in a compound. "vāpyaśvaḥ" — the analysis is "vāpyām aśvaḥ." Since śauṇḍādi is an ākṛtigaṇa (an open class), the compound [is formed] by "sup supā" optionally. "siti ca" — that of which s is the it-marker is a sit; meaning, before that [a sit affix] the aforesaid Śākalya-rule does not apply. "pārśvam" — parśu = the rib-bone (pārśva-asthi); the collection of ribs (parśus) is "pārśvam." The affix ṆaS by "parśvā ṇas [vaktavyaḥ]"; ādivṛddhi (vṛddhi of the initial); yaṇ-substitution. Here, when "pārśu-a" stands, the aforesaid Śākalya-rule does not apply. But guṇa of the [final] u by "or guṇaḥ" does not [apply], because that is enjoined only for a bha [-stem], and by "siti ca," [the item] being a pada, bha-hood is blocked. And vṛddhi by "aco ñṇiti" [A 7.2.115] also does not apply, being blocked by ādivṛddhi. And thus the root-author (mūlakāra, Bhaṭṭoji) will state: "ādivṛddhi blocks final-vṛddhi and penultimate-vṛddhi." Here the vārttika is "sin-nitya-samāsayoḥ śākala-pratiṣedhaḥ" [prohibition of the Śākalya-rule before a sit and in an obligatory (nitya) compound]; it has here been explained split in two [as "na samāse" and "siti ca"]. And it should not be objected: this being so, how is there prohibition of the Śākalya-rule in "vāpyaśvaḥ," since there the compound is optional (vaikalpika)? — because the word "nitya" [in the vārttika] has been repudiated (pratyākhyāta) in the Bhāṣya.

translator notes
  • translator "cakri-atra is the form on the alternative admitting the short vowel and prakṛtibhāva" renders "hrasvam anuccita-prakṛtibhāva-pakṣe rūpam"; the qualifier anuccita- is garbled in the source and its precise sense is uncertain (perhaps "admitted/adduced"). The point is unaffected: it names the prakṛtibhāva alternative that retains the short vowel, as against the yaṇ alternative "cakryatra."

ऋत्यकः ॥ ९२ ॥
ṛtyakaḥ
ṛtyakaḥ — For an ak vowel [at the end of a pada], when ṛ follows, [it is optionally shortened and remains in its natural state (prakṛtibhāva)] — the shortening and prakṛtibhāva being carried forward from the preceding rule.

Rule. When ṛ follows, a pada-final ak vowel is treated as in SK 91: optionally shortened and kept in its own form. ak is the pratyāhāra from a to the marker k of the second Śivasūtra, so it adds a and ā to the ik vowels. The words hrasva, ca (bringing prakṛtyā with it) and padānta ("pada-final") are carried forward; asavarṇe is not.

Example.

brahmā + ṛṣiḥ → ā is pada-final ak, ṛ follows → ā is shortened and kept → brahma ṛṣiḥ.

brahmā + ṛṣiḥ → the other alternative: ād guṇaḥ gives ar (the r following the guṇa a) → brahmarṣiḥ.

Applies when / blocked by. SK 91 could not reach brahmā, because ā is not an ik; this rule exists for exactly such cases. Only a pada-final vowel qualifies: in ā ṛcchat ("he went"), the ā is the augment āṭ prefixed to the verb, not the end of a pada, so vṛddhi runs and gives ārcchat. Unlike SK 91, this rule applies even inside a compound; the vārttika na samāse does not extend here: sapta + ṛṣīṇām gives saptaṛṣīṇām (kept) beside saptarṣīṇām (guṇa).

When ṛ follows, the ak [is treated] as before (prāgvat) [i.e., optionally shortened and left in prakṛtibhāva]. [Example:] brahma ṛṣiḥ [prakṛtibhāva]; brahmarṣiḥ [guṇa]. Only [as being] at the end of a pada [padāntāḥ still recurs]. [Hence:] ārcchat [where it does not apply]. This prakṛtibhāva [applies] even in a compound (samāsa): saptaṛṣīṇām — saptarṣīṇām.

ṛtyakaḥ — "akaḥ" is a genitive (ṣaṣṭhī). From [the sūtra] śākalyasya hrasvaś ca, [the words] hrasvaḥ and ca are carried forward (anuvṛtti). The [word] asavarṇe has ceased [is not carried forward]. From [the sūtra] eṅaḥ padāntāt, [the word] padāntāt is carried forward, and it is transformed into ending in the genitive (ṣaṣṭhī) [→ padāntasya]. Then one sentence is formed: "for an ak at the end of a pada, when ṛ follows, there is optionally a short [vowel]." By the ca [in hrasvaś ca], "prakṛtyā" is drawn in (anukarṣaṇa); [and] a second sentence is formed: "the aforesaid short [vowel] remains in its natural state (prakṛtyā avatiṣṭhate)." This he [Bhaṭṭoji] states with "when ṛ follows, the ak [is] as before."

On brahma ṛṣiḥ: when "brahmā ṛṣiḥ" stands, there is shortening of the ā and prakṛtibhāva [→ brahma ṛṣiḥ], and thereby the guṇa vowel a[r] that would arise by ād guṇaḥ does not come about. Here, since the a is not an ik, the [shortening] would not be obtained by iko 'savarṇe [i.e., by śākalyasya hrasvaś ca, which shortens an ik]; hence this rule (vacana) [is given] where [that shortening] is not [otherwise] obtained. On brahmarṣiḥ: on the alternative lacking the prakṛtibhāva combined with the aforesaid shortening, the a[r] [arises] by ād guṇaḥ, [followed by] the ra-para state [by uraṇ raparaḥ]. But [Pāṇini] did not word the sūtra as "ṛtyasya" ["of any vowel before ṛ"], because the mention of "ak" is indispensable for [securing] prakṛtibhāva in a case such as "hotṛ-ṛkāra" [ṛ before ṛ].

On "only [as being] at the end of a pada": the meaning is that the mention of padānta must be carried forward here as well. On ārcchat: [from the root] ṛ (in the sense of motion); [with] laṅ, [the ending] tip, [and the vikaraṇa] śap; by pāghrādhmā... the ṛcchā substitution [ṛ → ṛccha]; by itaś ca, elision of the i [of tip]; by āḍ ajādīnām, the augment āṭ; by āṭaś ca, vṛddhi [ā + ṛ → ār]. When "ā ṛcchat" stands, since the ā (an ak) is not at the end of a pada, the aforesaid prakṛtibhāva does not [apply] [→ vṛddhi → ārcchat]. He states, with "even in a compound," that the prohibitory vārttika (vārttika) "na samāse" ["not in a compound"], found in the previous sūtra, does not connect here. On saptaṛṣīṇām: the compound [is formed] by "dik-saṃkhye saṃjñāyām"; saptaṛṣīṇām is the form on the prakṛtibhāva alternative, while on the alternative without it, by guṇa (ād guṇaḥ) and the ra-para state, it becomes saptarṣīṇām.

translator notes
  • textual The digital source garbles the recurring example forms; the translation follows the evident readings without emending: brāhṛ / brāhṛā / brāhṛr for brahma / brahmā / brahmar; ācrchat for ārcchat; ikta for ikatva; avaśyaraka for āvaśyaka; stray Vedic-accent marks serve as quotation delimiters.

vākyasya ṭeḥ pluta udāttaḥ
vākyasya ṭeḥ pluta udāttaḥ — The ṭi (final vowel-portion) of a sentence [becomes] pluta and udātta. [This is an adhikāra heading governing the pluta rules that follow.]

Rule. The ṭi of a sentence (vākya) becomes pluta and udātta. The ṭi of a word is its last vowel together with whatever follows that vowel. This sūtra is an adhikāra: it prescribes nothing by itself but is read into SK 94–97, each of which names an occasion. The word padasya, "of a pada", is itself carried into it from earlier, so the ṭi in question is that of a pada.

saktūn piba devadatta3 → the last pada of the sentence is devadatta → its ṭi is the final a → pluta and udātta: devadatta3 (the occasion is supplied by SK 95).

grāmaṃ gacchāgnici3t → the last pada ends in a consonant → its ṭi is it, the i plus the t → the i is pluta: agnici3t.

Applies when / blocked by. Two words earn their place. vākyasya: without it, "the ṭi of a pada" would protract every word of the sentence; with it, only the last word qualifies. ṭeḥ: without it, the rule would read "the vowel at the end of the sentence", and a sentence ending in a consonant, like gacchāgnicit, would get no pluta; naming the ṭi reaches the vowel inside it.

vākyasya ṭeḥ pluta udāttaḥ — Now, of the pluta and pragṛhya [topics] required by the sūtra *plutapragṛhyā [aci nityam]* [A 6.1.125], he begins the pluta section, which is taken up first: "vākyasya ṭeḥ." "padasya" is [already] governing (adhikṛta). The ṭi (final vowel and what follows it) of a sentence — [being] a member of a pada — becomes pluta, and that becomes udātta: this is the meaning. Here the anuvṛtti of "padasya" is for the sake of later [rules] such as *naś chavy apraśān* [A 8.3.7]; for if the anuvṛtti were broken here, its continuation later would be impossible.

If "vākyasya" were absent and it were stated [merely] "padasya ṭeḥ," pluta would wrongly apply to the ṭi of as many padas as there are in the sentence. But when "vākyasya" is stated, the ṭi of the sentence is possible only for the final pada [of the sentence]; so there is no fault. Were "ṭi" not mentioned: since "pluta" is heard [as a technical term], and by the paribhāṣā *acaś ca* [only a vowel can be pluta] "ac" would present itself; that being a qualifier of "vākya," under the tadanta-vidhi it would mean "of a sentence ending in a vowel (ajanta)"; then by the *alo 'ntya* paribhāṣā it would finally settle into "the vowel at the end of the sentence is pluta"; and so in sentences ending in a consonant (halanta), such as "grāmaṃ gacchāgnici3t," there would be no pluta. But when "ṭi" is mentioned, by its very force, "ac" being qualified by "ṭi," the meaning obtained is "the vowel (ac) that is a member of the ṭi is pluta"; so there is no fault — this is clear in the Bhāṣya. "ityadhikṛtya" — "the pluta rules are [now] begun" is to be supplied [to complete the elliptical phrase].

प्रत्यभिवादेऽशूद्रे ॥ ९४ ॥
pratyabhivāde'śūdre
In a return-greeting (pratyabhivāda), when [directed] to a non-śūdra (aśūdra), [the ṭi of the sentence becomes pluta and udātta].

Rule. In a return-greeting (pratyabhivāda) addressed to a non-śūdra — a twice-born, dvija — the ṭi of the sentence is pluta and udātta. A pratyabhivāda is the benediction pronounced, according to rule, in answer to a greeting made according to rule.

Example.

Greeting: abhivādaye devadatto 'ham ("I, Devadatta, greet you").

Reply: bho āyuṣmān edhi devadatta → the ṭi of the last pada is the a of devadatta → bho āyuṣmān edhi devadatta3 ("Long life to you, Devadatta!").

Applies when / blocked by. Two vārttikas adjust the rule, and Bhaṭṭoji adds a remark of his own. striyāṃ na: not when the reply is to a woman — abhivādaye gārgy aham is answered bho āyuṣmatī bhava gārgi, with no pluta. Bhaṭṭoji adds that the pluta is wanted only where a personal name or a family name (gotra) ends the reply; in the bare āyuṣmān edhi the i of edhi is not protracted, being neither. bho-rājanya-viśāṃ vā: for the word bhoḥ, and for the names of a kṣatriya or a vaiśya, the pluta is optional — āyuṣmān edhi bhoḥ3, āyuṣmān edhīndravarma3n, āyuṣmān edhīndrapālita3, each also correct without the 3. For bhoḥ the rule would not otherwise apply at all; for the two names it would apply invariably; vā makes both optional. Why "non-śūdra"? The Bhāṣya's example of a reply to a śūdra is kuśaly asi tuṣajaka ("Are you well, Tuṣajaka?"), with no pluta.

Watch out. In indravarma3n the pluta falls on the a before the final n. That is SK 93 at work: the ṭi is an, and the vowel inside it is protracted. The smṛtis that regulate the greeting and the reply are cited by Bhaṭṭoji's commentators; scholars discuss how far they and the Bhāṣya agree.

pratyabhivāde 'śūdre — pratyabhivāde 'śūdre. [The phrase] vākyasya ṭeḥ pluta udāttaḥ ("the ṭi of the sentence [becomes] pluta and udātta," A 8.2.82) remains in force as adhikāra. The word-division is aśūdre. "Not a śūdra" = aśūdra, i.e., a twice-born (dvijāti). A return-greeting directed to such [a person]: pratyabhivāda = the pronouncing of a benediction according to rule (vidhivat) toward one who greets according to rule; [the word] is [formed] with the affix ghañ in the sense of the action (bhāva). The meaning: in the context of this return-greeting, of whatever sentence [is uttered], its ṭi becomes pluta, and that is udātta.

[Vāsudeva] states the rule of greeting: Āpastamba — "A brāhmaṇa should greet stretching out his right arm level with his ear, a kṣatriya (rājanya) level with his chest, a vaiśya level with his middle [waist], a śūdra low — with joined palms (prāñjali)." And: "Standing, [each day] until the morning [greeting], he should announce the greeting: 'It is I, so-and-so (asau), sir (bhoḥ).'" By "asau" the statement of one's own name is intended. Saying "devadatto 'haṃ bhoḥ" ("It is I, Devadatta, sir"), he "should announce (abhivādayīta)" the greeting-benediction (abhivāda = āśīrvacana) — i.e., he should make it known as [something] to be spoken. And so the meaning is: according to one's varṇa, stretching out the right arm, one should say "abhivādaye devadatto 'haṃ bhoḥ" ("I greet [you]; it is I, Devadatta, sir"). This is the manner of greeting (abhivādana).

The manner of the return-greeting, however, is shown by Manu: "In a greeting, a brāhmaṇa (vipra) is to be addressed with 'āyuṣmān bhava saumya' ('Be long-lived, gentle one'); and an a is to be pronounced at the end of his name, [and] the preceding syllable [made] pluta." Here, by the statement "at the end of the name," it is confirmed — as established by another smṛti — that after "āyuṣmān bhava saumya" the name of the one greeting, ending in a vocative (saṃbuddhi), is to be employed. And at the end of this name an a is to be pronounced = employed. The meaning: the syllable preceding that a — i.e., the preceding ac (vowel) — is to be employed as pluta. Thus the return-greeting sentence comes out as "āyuṣmān bhava saumya devadatta3 a" — so it stands.

"abhivādaye devadatto 'ham" — this is a display of the greeting-sentence; and it is also a representative token (upalakṣaṇa) for [the inclusion of] bho. "āyuṣmān bhava devadatta3" — this is a display of the return-greeting sentence. The word abhivādaye means: "I make known, as [something] to be spoken, the greeting (abhivāda) — [i.e.] a benediction." [The example] is also a representative token for the word saumya [coming] after bhava and for the a [coming] after devadatta. Here, in the word devadatta, the a following the t [its final a] is pluta. Because "being long-lived" (āyuṣmattva) is what is being predicated (vidheya), there is no vocative case-ending [on āyuṣmān].

In this return-greeting sentence, [the rule] that a brāhmaṇa's [name] ends in -śarman, and so forth, does not apply — because in the Bhāṣya on the sūtra eco 'pragṛhyasya (A 8.2.107) the example is a bare name without a word like śarman, and because [applying it] would conflict with the aforementioned smṛti of Manu and others. "Why 'aśūdra'?" — [The Bhāṣya answers:] kuśaly asi tuṣajaka ("Are you well, Tuṣajaka?") — this is the Bhāṣya [example, showing no pluta for a śūdra]. And so it is understood that, in the case of a śūdra, "āyuṣmān bhava" is not to be employed.

There is a vārttika: "It should be stated: aśūdra-strī-asūyakeṣu." The meaning: the prohibition of pluta occurs not only in the case of a śūdra, but — it should be stated — the prohibition of pluta occurs, just as for a śūdra, also in the case of a woman and in the case of a fault-finder (asūyaka). Of these, the śūdra case has been exemplified. The [case of a] woman — [Bhaṭṭoji] captures the vārttika, taking it in its distributed sense (arthataḥ), with striyāṃ na. The meaning: in a return-greeting sentence directed to a woman, the aforesaid operation [pluta] does not apply.

"abhivādaye gārgy aham" — [here] in the [pair of] greeting-sentences there is an option (vikalpa) between the [personal] name (nāma) and the gotra. This [Bhaṭṭoji] states with nāma gotraṃ vā ("a name or a gotra"). Here, by the word nāma, [what is meant is] precisely the name enjoined by [the smṛti] "on the twelfth day the father should give a name." For just this reason it is clear in the Bhāṣya that in "āyuṣmān bhava daṇḍin" and the like there is no pluta [daṇḍin being an epithet, not such a name]. He states the purpose of the enumeration "a name or a gotra" with neha ("not here"). āyuṣmān edhi — [derivation:] to the root as ("to be") is added sip [second person], which [becomes] hi; by dhvasoḥ [see note] there is e-substitution (etva); hi [becomes] dhi by her dhiḥ (A 6.4.101); and the a is elided by śnasor allopaḥ (A 6.4.111). Here the i following the dh [the i of edhi] is not pluta, because it is neither a name nor a gotra.

bhorājanyaviśām — the meaning: it should be stated that the ṭi of the word bhoḥ, and of names denoting a kṣatriya (rājanya) or a vaiśya, optionally (vā) becomes pluta. For the word bhoḥ [the pluta] is not otherwise obtained (aprāpta), whereas for the other two, being names, it is obtained (prāpta); [so] this is an option [covering both] (vibhāṣā). Of these, for the word bhoḥ, as in the Bhāṣya: "āyuṣmān edhi bhoḥ3. devadatta bhoḥ." For just this reason it is understood that at the end of a return-greeting sentence, after the name, there is an optional employment of the word bhoḥ, together with the word bhava or the word edhi. For a kṣatriya, as in: "āyuṣmān edhi indravarma3n" [with pluta], "indravarman" [without]. For a vaiśya, as in the Bhāṣya: "āyuṣmān edhi indrapālita3" [with pluta], "indrapālita" [without]. From this very Bhāṣya it is understood that the injunctions too apply in the return-greeting sentence — namely that a brāhmaṇa's [name] ends in -śarman, a kṣatriya's in -varman and a vaiśya's in -pālita. Because the aforesaid Bhāṣya conflicts with the smṛti of Manu and others, [the matter remains] optional (vikalpa). Here in the Bhāṣya, with the words "another says (apara āha)," having stated "in a return-greeting, bhoḥ is to be prescribed as the substitute for every name whatsoever," it is said that everywhere the return-greeting sentence is just this much: "āyuṣmān edhi bho."

translator notes
  • textual The Devanāgarī source is corrupt in many places; the translation follows the evidently intended readings without emending the source: brāhmaṇa is repeatedly written brāāhṛṇa, brūyāt as brāūyāt, akāra as ak#āra, and stray Vedic-accent marks serve as quotation markers throughout. The quoted Āpastamba clause 'tiṣṭhann āprātar abhivādam...' is rendered as evidently intended.
  • translator In the derivation of edhi the source names the etva step as 'dhvasoḥ,' which is not a recognizable sūtra reference and appears corrupt; the derivational steps are preserved as the commentary gives them, without supplying an emended rule-name, and the remaining steps (seḥ hy apic ca, etc.) are left implicit as in the source.

dūrāddhūte ca
dūrād dhūte ca (8.2.84) — and in calling from afar (dūrāt), [the ṭi (final vowel-segment) of the sentence becomes pluta and udātta].

Rule. Also when someone is addressed (sambodhana) from afar, the ṭi of the sentence is pluta and udātta. "Afar" means a distance at which the hearer cannot catch ordinary speech and extra effort of voice is needed.

Example.

saktūn piba devadatta ("Drink the gruel, Devadatta!") → said from afar → the ṭi of devadatta is its final a → saktūn piba devadatta3.

Applies when / blocked by. Bhaṭṭoji reads hūta, "calling", as sambodhana, address in general, not as the act of summoning. If it meant summoning, the rule would need an explicit word of calling, as in ehi devadatta ("come, Devadatta"); read as address, it applies to any sentence spoken to someone far off, as the example shows.

dūrād dhūte ca — dūrād dhūte ca. That region, standing at which the person to be made aware does not hear what is uttered with [ordinary] effort but requires additional effort — that is "dūra" (distant). "hūta" = calling (āhvāna); [with] the [suffix] kta in the sense of the action (bhāve ktaḥ). And that [calling] is here intended [specifically] as sambodhana (address). "vākyasya ṭeḥ pluta udāttaḥ" (A 8.2.82) is the governing adhikāra. He states this with "dūrāt sambodhane…" and the rest. For if [mere] āhvāna (calling) were intended here, then [pluti] would apply only when a word denoting calling is present, as in "ehi devadatta" ("come, Devadatta"). But on the interpretation as sambodhana it occurs elsewhere too [i.e. even where no explicit calling-word stands]; with this intention he illustrates: "saktūn…".

हैहेप्रयोगे हैहयोः ॥ ९६ ॥
haiheprayoge haihayoḥ
haiheprayoge haihayoḥ — When [the vocative particles] hai and he are employed, the pluta (three-mātrā protraction) occurs [only] for [the vowel of] hai / he.

Rule. When the particles hai or he are used in a sentence of calling from afar, the pluta falls on hai or he alone. hai and he are two indeclinables (avyaya) that signal address. This is a niyama, a restricting rule: the pluta was already available by SK 95 and SK 97, and this sūtra fixes where it may go.

Example.

he rāma → he is used, calling from afar → the pluta goes to he → he3 rāma.

rāma hai → likewise → rāma hai3.

pāhi hai rāma → only hai is protracted, not the a of rāma → pāhi hai3 rāma.

Applies when / blocked by. Without this rule, SK 97 would allow the final vowel of another word to be protracted too; haihayoḥ, "of hai and he", shuts that out. The word prayoga, "employment", is also necessary. Without it, the heading vākyasya ṭeḥ would confine the pluta to a sentence-final hai, as in rāma hai3; with it, hai and he are protracted even when they are not final, as in he3 rāma.

haiheprayoge haihayoḥ — haiheprayoge. hai and he are two indeclinables (avyaya) indicative of address (sambodhana). The meaning is: when these two are employed, the pluta occurs for hai / he. Since [the pluta] is already established by the previous sūtra and by "guror anṛtaḥ..." (A 8.2.86), [Bhaṭṭoji] anticipates the doubt "what is the purpose of this [sūtra]?" and explains that it is for restriction (niyama), [with the word] "haihayor eva" (only for hai / he). The idea is that "haihayor eva" conveys a restriction: in "pāhi hai³ rāma," "pāhi he³ rāma," the pluta is only for hai / he, and not — as "guror anṛtaḥ..." would [otherwise] permit — for the final [vowel of another word] as well; this [restriction] is what is obtained from [the word] "haihayoḥ." Were "prayoga" (employment) not mentioned, then, owing to the governing heading "vākyasya ṭeḥ" [the pluta being of the final vowel (ṭi) of the sentence], it would occur only in "rāma hai³," "rāma he³" [where hai / he stand sentence-final]; hence the mention of "prayoga." And thereby the pluta occurs for those two [hai / he] even when they are non-final (an-antya) [as in he³ rāma].

गुरोरनृतोऽनन्त्यस्याप्येकैकस्य प्राचाम् ॥ ९७ ॥
guroranṛto'nantyasyāpyekaikasya prācām
guror anṛto 'nantyasyāpy ekaikasya prācām — In the opinion of the Eastern grammarians (prācām), each single guru [heavy] vowel other than ṛ, even a non-final one, [is optionally protracted (pluta) in a sentence used to call from afar].

Rule. In the view of the Eastern grammarians (prācām), in a sentence of calling from afar, each single heavy (guru) vowel of the word addressed, other than ṛ, may be protracted even when it is not the final vowel — one vowel at a time. Because a school is named, the rule is optional.

Example.

ehi devadatta (the ehi, "come", must be understood, so that there is a sentence) → the heavy e is protracted → de3vadatta.

ehi devadatta → the heavy a before the cluster tt is protracted → devad3atta.

ehi devadatta → the final a is protracted (by SK 93 and 95, whether heavy or not) → devadatta3.

Applies when / blocked by. Why guru? So that the light a after v in devadatta is never protracted. Why "other than ṛ"? In kṛṣṇa3 only the final a can be pluta; the heavy ṛ is excluded. Why ekaika, "each single one"? For alternation: one heavy vowel is protracted in each utterance, never all of them at once. The final vowel gets its pluta from the heading ṭeḥ of SK 93; this rule adds the non-final heavy ones.

Watch out. Bhaṭṭoji splits the sūtra in two (yoga-vibhāga): the first rule ends at ekaikasya, and prācām stands as a rule on its own into which only pluta is carried. Its meaning is then "pluta is in the opinion of the Easterners", and the effect is that every pluta in the grammar becomes optional. That is why no separate vārttika is needed to make all pluta optional.

In a sentence [uttered] when calling from afar (dūrād dhūte), a guru [heavy vowel] — other than ṛ, even a non-final one — is optionally protracted (pluta). [Examples:] de3vadatta; devad3atta; devadatta3. Why "guru"? So that [it may] not [apply] to the a following the v [in devadatta, which is light]. Why "other than ṛ (anṛtaḥ)"? [Example:] kṛṣṇa3 [where only the final a, not the ṛ, is protracted]. The mention "each single one (ekaika)" is for the sake of alternation (paryāya) [one at a time]. Here the sūtra is split (yoga-vibhāga) so that "prācām" [stands as a separate rule]. By that [split], every pluta is made optional.

guror anṛto 'nantyasyāpy ekaikasya prācām — [The words] "dūrād dhūte ca" are carried forward (anuvṛtti); [the words] "vākyasya ṭeḥ pluta udāttaḥ" are the governing adhikāra. In a sentence used for addressing from afar, of the word denoting the one being addressed, a component vowel that is a guru other than ṛ, even if non-final, gets pluta; while the final [vowel], whether guru or non-guru, gets [pluta] — that is the meaning; because of the conjunction (samuccaya), by "api," with [the adhikāra] "ṭeḥ" [the final portion]. This he states with "when [calling] from afar," etc. In de3vadatta and the rest, in every case the word "ehi" ["come!"] must be supplied before [them]; otherwise, by [the definition] "ekatiṅ vākyam" ["a sentence has one finite verb"], their status as a sentence would not obtain.

On "for the sake of alternation": otherwise all the gurus would get pluta simultaneously — this is the idea. On "here prācām": "guror anṛto 'nantyasyāpy ekaikasya" is one sentence [rule]; "prācām" is another, in which only "pluta" is carried forward. It results that pluta occurs in the opinion of the Easterners (prācām), not in another's opinion. [Q:] What follows from that? He answers with "thereby (tena)": and thus the vārttika (vārttika) "sarvaḥ plutaḥ sāhasam anicchatā vibhāṣā vaktavyaḥ" ["for one not wishing rashness, every pluta should be stated as optional"] need not be composed — this is the idea. The meaning is: "for one not desiring the rashness (sāhasa) that consists in abandoning the pluta rules," i.e., setting aside indifference toward the pluta teachings.

[On] aplutavat [like a non-pluta]: the Bhāṣya [says], "What is this 'upasthita'? The employment of a non-ārṣa (non-Vedic) 'iti' (anārṣam itikaraṇam)" — meaning a non-Vedic (avaidika) word "iti"; "pluta" is to be supplied [by ellipsis]. It results that, when a non-Vedic word "iti" follows, the pluta behaves like a non-pluta (aplutavat).

अप्लुतवदुपस्थिते ॥ ९८ ॥
aplutavadupasthite
aplutavad upasthite — When an upasthita [a non-Vedic 'iti'] follows, [a pluta vowel behaves] like a non-pluta (aplutavat).

Rule. When an upasthita follows, a pluta behaves like a non-pluta (aplutavat). The upasthita is the non-Vedic word iti — the iti that the padakāras, the makers of the padapāṭha, insert after a word at the word-separation. "Like a non-pluta" means: it undergoes yaṇ and the other sandhi operations.

Example.

suśloka3 iti → iti here is non-Vedic, inserted by the padakāra → the pluta a3 behaves like a → ād guṇaḥ: a + i gives e → suśloketi.

Applies when / blocked by. The Taittirīya recension reads the mantra with the pluta suśloka3; the padapāṭha adds iti, and there the sandhi form suśloketi is found in the Bhāṣya. Bhaṭṭoji's commentators add that padakāras who instead separate suśloka3 iti suśloka3 iti are not wrong, since the sandhi rules apply only in saṃhitā.

Watch out. Why vat, "like"? If the sūtra said simply "a non-pluta replaces it", the protraction itself would be removed. Then in agnī3 iti — the imitation of a vocative dual, whose ī is pragṛhya by SK 100 — the three-mātrā ī would no longer be heard. With vat, only the pluta's operation, its prakṛtibhāva by SK 90, is cancelled. The ī stays apart from iti by virtue of being pragṛhya, and it is still pronounced pluta. Scholars discuss the wording of Bhaṭṭoji's gloss here, which is transmitted in two readings.

"Upasthita" is the non-ārṣa (non-Vedic) word "iti"; when it follows, a pluta behaves like a non-pluta (aplutavat). The meaning is: it performs the operations proper to a non-pluta, such as yaṇ and the rest. [Example:] suśloketi. Why "vat" [like]? Were it said [simply] "apluta," only a non-pluta would be prescribed and the pluta would be prohibited; and so, in the prakṛtibhāva that depends on the pragṛhya [designation], the pluta would not be heard [pronounced]. [Example:] agnī3 iti.

aplutavad upasthite — This he states with "upasthita is the non-ārṣa [iti]." He states the purpose of the aplutavadbhāva with "[it sets aside] the pluta's operation, [namely] prakṛtibhāva." "aplutakāryaṃ yaṇādikaṃ karoti" ["it performs the operation of a non-pluta, viz. yaṇ and the like"] is a variant reading (pāṭhāntara). On suśloka3 iti: in the Taittirīya [recension], the mantra ending in the pluta "suśloka3" is read; at the time of the pada[-pāṭha], at the word-separation (avagraha), the padakāras read the word "iti" after it. There, when "suśloka3 iti" stands, by the aplutavadbhāva, prakṛtibhāva being absent, guṇa (ād guṇaḥ) [applies] [a + i → e], and it becomes "suśloketi." Here the word "iti" is non-Vedic (avaidika), because it is inserted by the padakāra. This very example, "suśloketi," stands in the Bhāṣya. But the padakāras separate it as "suśloka3 iti suśloka3 iti" [retaining the pluta]; that too is manageable, since the saṃhitā [continuous form] is not intended there, because yaṇ and the other sandhi operations are prescribed only in the saṃhitā.

On "why vat": the question is, what is the purpose of the mention of "vat" in "aplutavat"? He gives the answer with "apluta," etc.: omitting the mention of "vat," were it said "apluta upasthite," then in place of the pluta only a non-pluta would be prescribed; hence the pluta itself would be removed; and so, in agnī3 iti — in the imitation (anukaraṇa) of a form ending in the nominative dual of address (sambodhana-prathamā-dvivacana) — the pragṛhya ī of three morae (trimātra) would not be heard. But with the making of "vat," [only] the cessation of the pluta's operation (prakṛtibhāva) is understood, not the cessation of the pluta itself; hence the stated fault does not [arise] — that is the meaning.

translator notes
  • textual The Bālamanoramā reports two readings of the Kaumudī phrase: the printed k1 has 'aplutakāryaṃ yaṇādikam...', which the Bālamanoramā gives as the variant (pāṭhāntara), naming the other reading 'plutakāryaṃ prakṛtibhāvam' first. Digitization garbles aplutavadbhāva as apsutavadbhāva; the translation follows the evident reading.

ई३ चाक्रवर्मणस्य ॥ ९९ ॥
ī3 cākravarmaṇasya
ī3 cākravarmaṇasya — According to Cākravarmaṇa, a pluta ī (ī3), when a vowel (ac) follows, optionally behaves as though it were non-pluta (apluta-vat).

Rule. In Cākravarmaṇa's view, a pluta ī3 before any vowel behaves like a non-pluta. Because a teacher is named, the rule is optional. aplutavat is carried forward from SK 98, and aci, "when a vowel follows", from iko yaṇ aci; upasthite is not carried forward, so the following word need not be iti.

Example.

cinuhī3 iti → ī3 before a vowel → Cākravarmaṇa: behaves like ī → yaṇ → cinuhīti; or the pluta keeps its own form → cinuhī3 iti.

cinuhī3 idam → the same option before a vowel other than iti → cinu hīdam or cinuhī3 idam.

Applies when / blocked by. The option holds in both settings. Before iti, SK 98 would have made the non-pluta behaviour obligatory; before any other vowel, SK 98 would not have applied at all. This sūtra, framed for both, makes both optional. Where does the pluta of hī come from? cinu hi ("gather, indeed") is the reply to a question, and the hi in a reply to a question is optionally pluta by a rule outside this chapter (A 8.2.93); idam begins a separate sentence, so hi is sentence-final.

"apluta-vat" is carried forward (anuvṛtti) [from *aplutavad upasthite*, A 6.1.129]. From *iko yaṇ aci* [A 6.1.77] "aci" is carried forward. In the view of the sage Cākravarmaṇa, ī, when a vowel follows, behaves as non-pluta — but not in another's view — this is the meaning. He states this with "a pluta [ī], when a vowel [follows]" etc.

"cinu hi3 idam": this is the reply of one who has been asked "what should I do?" "cinu" ends in a loṬ [imperative]; by *utaś ca pratyayād [asaṃyogapūrvāt]* [A 6.4.106] the hi [ending] is elided (luk); but "hi" [here] is an indeclinable (avyaya). Its pluta comes by *vibhāṣā pṛṣṭaprativacane heḥ* [A 8.2.93, whereby the *hi* in the answer to a question is optionally pluta]. Before "cinu" the [word] "devadatta" [O Devadatta] is to be supplied. But "idam" belongs to a separate sentence; it does not form a single sentence with "cinu." Otherwise, by the adhikāra *vākyasya ṭeḥ* [A 8.2.82], the pluta of the i in the word "hi" would not occur [since by that adhikāra pluta falls only on the final of a sentence — so *hi* must be sentence-final].

"ubhayatra" (in both cases): before the word iti, [the non-pluta treatment] would apply obligatorily (nitya); before anything other than iti it would not apply at all; and since [the sūtra] is undertaken [to cover] both, this option applies in both cases — this is the meaning. One must not think the word "vibhāṣā" is an indeclinable, because of the Bhāṣya's usage *na veti vibhāṣāyām* [treating vibhāṣā as a regular noun]. "vibhāṣā" [is derived as] "that by which optioning is done" (vibhāṣyate = vikalpyate): the suffix a by *guroś ca halaḥ* [A 3.3.103], and ṭāp [the feminine ā].

ईदूदेद्द्विवचनं प्रगृह्यम् ॥ १०० ॥
īdūdeddvivacanaṃ pragṛhyam
īdūdeddvivacanaṃ pragṛhyam — A dvivacana (dual form) ending in ī, ū, or e receives the designation pragṛhya.

Rule. A dual form (dvivacana) ending in ī, ū or e is named pragṛhya. The compound īdūdet qualifies dvivacana, so the tadanta reading applies: "ending in ī/ū/e", not "being ī/ū/e".

Example.

harī + etau → harī is a dual ending in ī → pragṛhya → SK 90 blocks yaṇ → harī etau.

viṣṇū + imau → a dual ending in ū → pragṛhya → no yaṇ → viṣṇū imau.

gaṅge + amū → a dual ending in e → pragṛhya → no ay substitution → gaṅge amū.

pacete + imau → the verb's dual ending āte has become ete, which ends in e → pragṛhya → pacete imau.

Applies when / blocked by. The last example shows why the tadanta reading matters. The dual ending of pacete is not itself the vowel e; it merely ends in e. Read as "a dual that is e", the rule would miss it. Bhaṭṭoji's commentators note that the word dvivacana itself does not take the tadanta reading, because in a saṃjñā rule the mention of an affix does not extend to what ends in it.

Watch out. In the epic phrase maṇīvoṣṭrasya one might think maṇī + iva and ask why the ī did not stay apart as a pragṛhya. Bhaṭṭoji answers that the word here is the particle va (or vā), meaning "like", so the form is maṇī + va and no vowel sandhi is in question at all.

Siddhānta-kaumudī

A dvivacana ending in ī, ū, or e is termed pragṛhya. [Examples:] harī etau; viṣṇū imau; gaṅge amū; pacete imau. But in "maṇīvoṣṭrasya," the word "va" or "vā," in the sense of "like (iva)," should be understood [so that maṇī there is not a dual pragṛhya].

īdūdeddvivacanaṃ pragṛhyam — "ī and ū and e" — a samāhāra-dvandva [compound]. Since "īdūdet" qualifies "dvivacana," the tadanta-vidhi [applies — "that which ends in ī/ū/e"]. But by [the word] "dvivacana," even though it is [the name of] an affix (pratyaya), that which ends in it is not taken [no tadanta], because of the prohibition [by the paribhāṣā] (paribhāṣā) "in a saṃjñā-rule, when an affix is mentioned, that which ends in the affix is not comprehended (saṃjñāvidhau pratyayagrahaṇe tadantagrahaṇaṃ nāsti)." This he states with "ending in ī, ū, e," etc.

On harī etau: here the ī has dvivacana-status by resorting to its being reckoned as [the initial constituent of] the following [item] (parādivadbhāva). Being pragṛhya, by "plutapragṛhyā [aci nityam]" there is prakṛtibhāva, so no yaṇ [ī does not become y]. In viṣṇū imau likewise. But in gaṅge amū, the ay-substitution does not occur [e being pragṛhya]. To show the purpose of the tadanta-vidhi in "ending in ī/ū/e," he says pacete imau: in the absence of the tadanta-vidhi, one would get "a dvivacana that is [itself] ī/ū/e is pragṛhya"; in that case, in "pacete," since the dvivacana "(ā)te" is not itself of the form "e" [but merely ends in e], pragṛhya-status would not obtain — this is the idea. On the interpretation "that which ends in a dvivacana ending in ī/ū/e," however, there would be over-application (atiprasaṅga) in "kumāryor agāram → kumāryagāram"; whereas on the interpretation "a dvivacana ending in ī/ū/e" there is no over-application, since the dvivacana "os" [genitive/locative dual] does not end in ī/ū/e.

Objection: in the Bhārata verse "maṇīvoṣṭrasya sambe(?)te priyau vatsatarau mama," in "maṇī iva," if the ī has pragṛhya-status, then with prakṛtibhāva the savarṇadīrgha would not occur. Regarding this he says maṇīvoṣṭrasya: "va [is used] in [the sense of] 'in Pracetas' and also in the sense of 'like (iva)'; that [va] is indeclinable (avyaya)" — thus the Medinī [kośa]; "va, vā, yathā, tathā, eva, evaṃ [are used] in the sense of similarity (sāmya)" — thus the Amara[-kośa]. [Hence maṇīva is maṇī + the particle va, not a dual pragṛhya, and the savarṇadīrgha issue does not arise.]

SK 101 · A 1.1.12प्रगृह्यसंज्ञा
अदसो मात् ॥ १०१ ॥
adaso māt
adaso māt — 1.1.12. The ī and ū of adas that follow its m are pragṛhya (exempt from vowel-sandhi).

Rule. The ī and ū of the pronoun adas ("that") that follow its m are pragṛhya. īd-ūt and pragṛhyam are carried forward from SK 100; et and dvivacana are not, because an e after the m of adas never occurs, and the ī after that m is a plural.

Example.

amī + īśāḥ → amī is the nominative plural of adas: ade becomes amī by two rules of the Tripādī (A 8.2.81, e → ī; A 8.2.80, d → m) → the ī follows the m → pragṛhya → no savarṇadīrgha → amī īśāḥ ("those lords").

rāmakṛṣṇāv amū + āsāte → amū is the nominative dual: adau becomes amū by A 8.2.80 → the ū follows the m → pragṛhya → rāmakṛṣṇāv amū āsāte ("those two, Rāma and Kṛṣṇa, sit").

Applies when / blocked by. SK 100 could not reach either form. amī is a plural, not a dual. amū is a dual, but its ū and m arise in the Tripādī, which is asiddha for SK 100 (chapter 1, SK 12); to SK 100 the word is still adau, which ends in au. This sūtra is different: its own word māt, "after the m", presupposes that the m has been made, so for it the Tripādī changes count. Why māt? Consider amuke 'tra, with the infix aka inside the pronoun: here the e does not follow the m, and it is not pragṛhya. Without māt, the e of SK 100 would have been carried forward along with ī and ū, and the e of amuke would wrongly have been named.

Watch out. Bhaṭṭoji writes rāmakṛṣṇāv amū to make clear that the masculine is meant. The feminine and neuter duals are also amū, but there a dual e is present before the Tripādī changes, and SK 100 already names them.

adaso māt — 'adasaḥ' is an avayava-ṣaṣṭhī (partitive genitive): the meaning is 'from the m that is a component of the word adas (adaḥ-śabda-avayava).' 'īd-ūt' [the ī and ū] and 'pragṛhyam' are carried forward (anuvṛtti) [from īdūded dvivacanaṃ pragṛhyam, A 1.1.11]. 'māt' is an ablative in a directional sense (dig-yoga); the word 'para' (following) is to be supplied. So he says 'that follow this' (asmāt parau) — meaning 'the two [ī, ū] that follow the m which is a component of adas.' The e (et) is NOT carried forward, because in the word adas an e following the m is impossible. 'dvivacana' (the restriction to the dual) is also not carried forward: because the ī after the m in adas — as in amī — is a plural (bahuvacana), and because the ū after the m, occurring there only in dual-ending forms, leaves nothing for the dual-restriction to exclude (vyāvartya-abhāva).

[On] amī īśāḥ: from adas, with jas [nom. pl.], tyadādyatva (A 7.2.102, adas → ada-) and pararūpa; then jasaḥ śī (A 7.1.17), and ād guṇaḥ (A 6.1.87). When 'ade' stands, by eta īd (A 8.2.81) the e becomes ī (īttva), and by adaso 'ser… (A 8.2.80) the d becomes m (mattva). Thus the form is amī. Here, because the ī is not a dual (dvivacana-abhāva), the pragṛhya designation is not obtained by the previous sūtra [A 1.1.11, which requires a dual]; so it is prescribed by this [sūtra].

[On] rāmakṛṣṇāv amū: from the masculine word adas, in the nominative dual with auṄ, [there apply] tyadādyatva, pararūpa, and vṛddhir eci (A 6.1.88). When 'adau' stands, by adaso 'seḥ (A 8.2.80) the au becomes ū (ūtva) and the d becomes m (matva); the form is amū. Although this ū is a dual, nevertheless, when pragṛhya-hood is to be effected by the previous sūtra, since the ūtva and matva are asiddha (regarded as not yet done), in the śāstric view (śāstra-dṛṣṭyā) only the au after the d is present; hence its pragṛhya-hood is not obtained by the previous sūtra, and so it is prescribed by this one. With respect to the sūtra adaso māt itself, however, the ūtva and matva are NOT asiddha, by the force of this sūtra's very framing (ārambha-sāmarthya) [since 'māt' presupposes that matva has occurred]. The previous sūtra [A 1.1.11], on the other hand, has no such force here, because it is already fully occupied (caritārtha) in cases like harī etau, viṣṇū imau.

The feminine and neuter word adas — as in 'striyau phale vā amū āsāte' — is not the example here. To explain: from the feminine adas, with auṄ, tyadādyatva, pararūpa, ṬāP, then the śī-substitution by oṅ āp, ād guṇa, and ūtva-matva, the form is likewise amū; and from the neuter, with auṄ, tyadādyatva, pararūpa, the śī-substitution by napuṃsakāc ca (A 7.1.19), ād guṇa, and ūtva-matva, the form is again amū. Here pragṛhya-hood is established by the previous sūtra itself, because even though ūtva and matva are asiddha, a dual e is present. Therefore, to show that only the masculine adas is the example here, [Bhaṭṭoji] said 'rāmakṛṣṇau' [i.e. a masculine context].

[On] 'māt kim' (why māt?): the question is — let the sūtra be just 'adasaḥ'; what is the purpose of mentioning 'māt'? [Answered by] amuke 'tra: by avyaya-sarvanāmnām akac prāk ṭeḥ (A 5.3.71), with the akaC infix, from the word 'adaka(s)', with jas, [there apply] tyadādyatva, pararūpa, jasaḥ śī, ād guṇaḥ, and ūtva-matva; the form is amuke. Here the mention of 'māt' [serves] to prevent the pragṛhya-hood of the e; for once 'māt' is stated, since the e does not follow the m (māt-paratva-abhāva), it is not pragṛhya. This is the point.

Objection (nanu): Even so, the mention of 'māt' is pointless — for if we do not carry forward 'et' (the e) [from A 1.1.11] and admit that here pragṛhya-hood is prescribed only for ī and ū, then in amuke there is no occasion for pragṛhya-hood at all. — To this [Bhaṭṭoji] says 'asati' (were [māt] not [mentioned]): in adaso māt, among ī, ū, e — which are taken up in a single compound word (īdūdet in A 1.1.11) — when the two, ī and ū, are carried forward, the e too would tend to be carried forward; but by the mention of 'māt' the anuvṛtti of the e is blocked (pratibaddha). Were 'māt' not mentioned, then, there being no blocker (bādhaka), the e too would be carried forward; and then, since in amuke too the pragṛhya-hood of the e would arise, the mention of 'māt' [serves] to prevent it. But once 'māt' is stated, because the anuvṛtti of the e is blocked, there is no pragṛhya-hood in amuke. And so the mention of 'māt' has as its fruit the non-anuvṛtti of the e. This is the point.

nipāta ekājanāṅ
nipāta ekāj anāṅ (1.1.14) — A particle (nipāta) consisting of a single vowel (ekāc), with the exception of āṅ (anāṅ), is [designated] pragṛhya.

Rule. A particle (nipāta) consisting of a single vowel (ekāc), except āṅ, is pragṛhya. āṅ is the ā that carries the marker ṅ; the marker is never heard, so the rule tells you how to know it by sense.

Example.

i + indraḥ → i, a particle of astonishment, is a single vowel → pragṛhya → no savarṇadīrgha → i indraḥ.

u + umeśaḥ → u, a particle of deliberation → pragṛhya → u umeśaḥ.

ā + evaṃ nu manyase → ā of a resumed sentence ("Ah, so now you think this"), not ṅit → pragṛhya → ā evaṃ nu manyase; likewise ā evaṃ kila tat (ā of recollection).

ā + uṣṇam → ā in the sense "a little" is āṅ, marked ṅ → not pragṛhya → ād guṇaḥ → oṣṇam ("slightly hot").

Applies when / blocked by. Bhaṭṭoji quotes the verse that sorts the two *ā*s: the ā meaning "a little", the ā joined to an action, and the ā of limit or of inclusion are ṅit; the ā that changes the drift of a sentence already begun, and the ā of recollection, are not ṅit (aṅit). Only the latter two are pragṛhya.

Watch out. ekāc must be read as "one, and a vowel" — the particle is a single vowel. If it were read "having one vowel", a particle like pra would qualify, and pra + idam could not become predam.

[Examples:] "i" [expressing] astonishment (vismaya) — "i indraḥ"; "u" [expressing] deliberation (vitarka) — "u umeśaḥ" [in each, the two vowels do not combine]. Since [the rule] says anāṅ (excluding āṅ), an ā that is aṅit (not marked with the anubandha ṅ) is indeed pragṛhya: ā evaṃ nu manyase ("Ah, so you think thus"), ā evaṃ kila tat ("Ah, so indeed it is"). But the ṅit [ā, i.e. āṅ] is not pragṛhya: īṣaduṣṇam → oṣṇam ("slightly hot"). — [Verse:] "The ā that [is used] in the sense of 'a little' (īṣad), in conjunction with an action (kriyāyoga), and in [the senses of] limit (maryādā) and inclusion (abhividhi) — know that to be ṅit; in [the senses of] a [resumed] sentence (vākya) and recollection (smaraṇa), it is aṅit."

nipāta ekāj anāṅ — "nipāta ekāc": pragṛhyam recurs (anuvṛtti) [from A 1.1.11], and is transformed into the masculine gender to agree. ekāc is a karmadhāraya: "that which is single and [is] a vowel (ac)." Hence he says "eko 'j (a single-vowelled one)," etc. "i vismaye": "i" is a nipāta by belonging to the cādi [group] (cādayo 'sattve), and it denotes wonder (āścarya) — this is the meaning. "i indraḥ; u umeśaḥ": "i" and "u" are nipātas; in the vocative, both, being ekāc and being nipātas, are pragṛhya, so there is no sandhi. He states the purpose of the ṅ-anubandha in anāṅ with "since [the rule] says anāṅ." "ā evam": this ā indicates a change (anyathātva) in the sense of a sentence begun earlier — the meaning being "formerly you did not think [so], but now you think thus." "ā evam" [again]: this ā indicates recollection (smaraṇa). Here, in both cases, since the ā is not ṅit, there is no exclusion (paryudāsa) [and so it remains pragṛhya]. "But the ṅit": the ṅit ā [i.e. āṅ] is not pragṛhya, because of the exclusion anāṅ — this is the meaning. "oṣṇam": in ā-uṣṇam, since the ā [= āṅ, 'slightly'] is ṅit and hence not pragṛhya, ād-guṇa [A 6.1.87] [gives o]. — Objection: since in actual usage the ṅ is not heard in either case, how is the ṅit to be distinguished from the aṅit? To this he says "vākya": in [the sense of] a change in the meaning of a begun sentence, and in recollection, [the ā is] aṅit; elsewhere — when the senses "a little," etc. are to be understood — it is ṅit; thus the distinction (viveka), the difference, is to be grasped. And so the Bhāṣya [states]: "The ā that [is used] in the sense of 'a little'… in [the senses of] a sentence and recollection, it is aṅit." The bahuvrīhi analysis "that which has a single vowel (eko 'c yasya)" is not adopted; for on that [analysis] there would be over-extension (atiprasaṅga) in cases like predam (pra + idam), [where "pra" too has a single vowel].

sambuddhau śākalyasyetāvanārṣe
sambuddhau śākalyasyetāvanārṣe (1.1.16) — [the o occasioned] by the sambuddhi is, in Śākalya's view, [pragṛhya] before the word iti, in non-ārṣa (non-Vedic) [usage].

Rule. In Śākalya's view, an o that owes its existence to the vocative singular ending (sambuddhi) is pragṛhya before a non-Vedic iti. The rule is optional, since a teacher is named. ārṣa means "found in the Veda"; anārṣe, "in non-Vedic usage".

Example.

viṣṇo + iti → the o of viṣṇo arose in the vocative (by guṇa of the short final, A 7.3.108) → Śākalya: pragṛhya → viṣṇo iti.

viṣṇo + iti → the other alternative: the o is not pragṛhya → the av substitution → viṣṇav iti.

Applies when / blocked by. viṣṇo ends in o but is not a particle, so SK 104 cannot name it; this rule is needed. Why anārṣe? In the Vedic brahmabandhav ity abravīt ("he said, 'O kinsman of brāhmaṇas'") the o is not pragṛhya, and av appears. Bhaṭṭoji lists a third form, viṣṇa iti, without saying which alternative it belongs to; his commentators do not spell out its derivation.

The o-sound occasioned by the sambuddhi is optionally (vā) pragṛhya before a non-Vedic "iti". [Examples:] viṣṇo iti; viṣṇa iti; viṣṇav iti. Why "anārṣe" (non-Vedic)? [Because in the Vedic case:] brahmabandhav ity abravīt ("he said, 'O kinsman-of-brahmins'" — here, being ārṣa, [it is not pragṛhya, so yaṇ-sandhi applies]).

Bālamanoramā

sambuddhau śākalyasyetāvanārṣe — sambuddhau śākalyasya. "sambuddhau" is a nimitta-saptamī (a locative denoting the conditioning cause), and it construes together with "o" carried forward [from the preceding rule]. "pragṛhyam" is carried forward, and — being [neuter] — it is transformed into the masculine [to agree with "o"]. ṛṣi = the Veda; for so it is seen in "tad uktam ṛṣiṇā" and the like [where ṛṣi means the Veda]. "ārṣa" = that which occurs in the ṛṣi (Veda); "anārṣa" = not ārṣa. The meaning [of anārṣe]: when a non-Vedic word "iti" follows. From the mention of Śākalya [comes] the option (vikalpa); he states this with "sambuddhinimittakaḥ…" [the o occasioned by the sambuddhi is optionally pragṛhya]. "viṣṇo iti" — here the o is occasioned by the sambuddhi through hrasvasya guṇaḥ (A 7.3.108) [guṇa for the short final in the vocative]. Although it here ends in o, since it is not a nipāta [pragṛhya] would not [otherwise] apply; hence this optional [rule]. "viṣṇav iti" — this is the form when there is no pragṛhya-status [i.e. when the option does not take effect and the vowel-substitution v applies].

translator notes
  • translator The Kaumudī lists three example-forms (viṣṇo iti, viṣṇa iti, viṣṇav iti); the Bālamanoramā spells out only viṣṇo iti (the pragṛhya alternative) and viṣṇav iti (the non-pragṛhya alternative, with v for the o before the vowel). The derivation of the middle form viṣṇa iti is not made explicit in the commentary.
SK 106 · A 1.1.17प्रगृह्यसंज्ञा
उञः ॥ १०६ ॥
uñaḥ
uñaḥ — Of the particle uñ (= u), [there is optionally the pragṛhya designation, in Śākalya's view, before iti].

Rule. The particle uñ — the u whose marker is ñ — is optionally pragṛhya before iti. Bhaṭṭoji says "as stated before": the words śākalyasya and itau of SK 105 are carried forward, and Śākalya's name brings the option.

Example.

u + iti → uñ before iti → pragṛhya → u iti.

u + iti → the other alternative: not pragṛhya → yaṇ → v iti.

Applies when / blocked by. By SK 103, uñ, a single-vowel particle, is already pragṛhya invariably. This rule turns that into an option before iti, and that is what makes the sandhi form v iti possible at all.

Watch out. Bhaṭṭoji's commentators treat the received text uñ ūm̐ as one sūtra that is explained as two, SK 106 and SK 107. Read as a single sūtra it would yield only ūm̐ iti and u iti; the split is what admits the third form v iti.

Siddhānta-kaumudī
उञ इतौ वा प्रागुक्तम् । उ इति । विति ॥

Regarding uñ before iti, [the pragṛhya designation] optionally [applies] — this was stated before. u iti. v iti.

Bālamanoramā
उञ ऊँ - ऊँ । इदमप्येकपदं सूत्रम् । ऊँ इति दीर्घस्याऽनुनासिकस्य ऊकारस्य लुप्तप्रथमाविभक्तिकस्य निर्देशः । उञ इत्यनुवर्तते, इतौ शाकल्यस्य प्रगृह्रमिति च । तदाह — उञ इताविति । ऊँ ईतीति । उक्तविधे ऊँकारादेशे रूपम् । प्रगृह्रत्वात्प्रकृतिभावः । एतदादेशाऽबावपक्षे पूर्वसूत्रेण प्रगृह्रत्वे सतिउ इती॑ति रूपम् । प्रगृह्रत्वस्याप्यभावे सति यणादेशेविती॑ति रूपमिति त्रीणि रूपाणि फलितानि । तदेवमुञ ऊँ इत्येकमेव सूत्रं विभज्य व्याख्यातम् । एकसूत्रत्वे तु उञ इतौ परे 'ऊँ' इत्ययं दीर्घोऽनुनासिकः प्रगृह्रश्चादेशः शाकल्यामते स्यात् । तदभावपक्षे तुनिपात एका॑जिति नित्यं प्रगृह्रत्वमित्येतावल्लभ्येत । ततश्च 'ऊँ इति 'उ इती॑ति रूपद्वयमेव स्यात्,विती॑ति रूपं न लभ्येत । अतो विभज्य व्याख्यातम् ।

uñ ūṃ — ūṃ. This too is a one-word sūtra. "ūṃ" is a mention (nirdeśa) of the long nasalized ū-kāra with its first-case ending elided (lupta-prathamā-vibhaktika). "uñaḥ" is carried forward (anuvṛtti), and so are "itau" (before iti), "śākalyasya" (in Śākalya's view), and "pragṛhyam." He states this with "uñ itau" ["of uñ, before iti"].

ūṃ īti: this is the form when the aforesaid ūṃ-kāra substitute is [made for uñ before iti]; because of being pragṛhya there is prakṛti-bhāva (retention of the base form, i.e., no sandhi). On the alternative where this substitute [ūṃ] is not made, when there is pragṛhya-designation by the previous sūtra [uñaḥ], the form is "u iti." And when there is no pragṛhya either, with the yaṇ substitute [u → v], the form is "v iti." Thus three forms result.

Thus in this way the single sūtra "uñ ūṃ" has been explained by splitting [it into two, uñaḥ and ūṃ]. But were it a single sūtra, then, in Śākalya's view, before a following iti this long nasalized pragṛhya substitute "ūṃ" would be [prescribed] for uñ; and on the alternative without that [substitute], only this much would be obtained — the invariable (nitya) pragṛhya-designation by "nipāta ekāc" [1.1.14]. And then only the two forms "ūṃ iti" and "u iti" would obtain; the form "v iti" would not be obtained. Therefore it has been explained by splitting [into two sūtras].

translator notes
  • translator The unit's sūtra header is uñaḥ (1.1.17), but the Bālamanoramā (pratīka <<uñ ūṃ>>) treats the received text as the single sūtra uñ ūṃ split into two, uñaḥ and ūṃ (1.1.18); the commentary's whole point is that this split yields the third form v iti.

ūm̐ (1.1.18) — [The substitute] ūm̐ [for the particle uñ before iti] is pragṛhya.

Rule. For uñ before iti, the substitute ūm̐ — long, nasal (anunāsika), and itself pragṛhya — optionally occurs.

Example.

u + iti → uñ before iti → the substitute ūm̐ → being pragṛhya, it stays apart → ūm̐ iti.

Applies when / blocked by. With SK 106 this gives three correct forms for the particle before iti: ūm̐ iti (substitute made), u iti (no substitute, pragṛhya by SK 106), and v iti (no substitute, not pragṛhya, yaṇ).

Rule. After a maY consonant, the particle uñ optionally becomes va when a vowel follows. maY is the pratyāhāra read off the Śivasūtras from ma to the marker y; the m of kim is one. aci, "when a vowel follows", is carried forward from an earlier sūtra.

Example.

kimu + uktam → the u is uñ, after the m of kim, before a vowel → optionally va → kimvuktam ("what was said?"); otherwise kimu uktam.

Applies when / blocked by. The rule is needed because uñ is invariably pragṛhya by SK 103, so yaṇ could never give the v. Why is it placed here, in the Tripādī, with the extra word va, rather than next to iko yaṇ aci as a simple option of yaṇ? Because of asiddha. Placed early, the v would be visible to the rule mo 'nusvāraḥ, which turns m into anusvāra when v follows, and the m of kim would change. Placed in the Tripādī, after that anusvāra rule, the va substitution is asiddha for it, and the m stays.

मयः परस्य उञो वो वा स्यादचि । किमु उक्तम् । किम्वुक्तम् । वत्वस्यासिद्धत्वान्नानुस्वारः ॥

For the uñ following a maY [consonant], va is optionally the substitute, when a vowel (ac) follows. kimu uktam. kimvuktam. Because the va-substitution (vatva) is asiddha, there is no anusvāra.

maya uño vo vā — "maya" is a fifth case [ablative, "after a maY"], "uñ" a genitive ["of uñ"]. From [the sūtra] "ṅamo hrasvād aci," "aci" ("when a vowel follows") is carried forward (anuvṛtti); he states this with "mayaḥ parasya" ["of what follows a maY"].

kimvuktam: when kimu uktam stands, since the u-kāra following the ma-kāra — being uñ — is invariably (nitya) pragṛhya by "nipāta ekāc" [1.1.14], so that prakṛti-bhāva [obtains] and yaṇ [u → v] would not apply, this statement of vatva [is made, to supply the v-substitution optionally].

Objection: then this ["maya uño vā"] should be stated right after "iko yaṇ aci," and would be more economical (lāghava) by omitting the mention of "va"; whereas reading it in the tripādī [the final three pādas] requires also mentioning "va," so there is prolixity (gaurava). To this he says "vatvasya...": if the option of the yaṇ substitute for uñ after a maY were prescribed in the first pāda of the sixth [adhyāya], right at "iko yaṇ aci," then in kimvuktam the anusvāra for the ma-kāra would apply by "mo 'nusvāraḥ," because the va-kāra follows. But when the vatva rule is [placed] in the tripādī, because it is asiddha, there is no anusvāra — this because, [both being] in the tripādī, the vatva rule is para (later) relative to the anusvāra rule, [hence asiddha with respect to it]. This is the idea.

ईदूतौ च सप्तम्यर्थे ॥ १०९ ॥
īdūtau ca saptamyarthe
And [padas] ending in ī and ū [are pragṛhya] when they stand in the sense of the seventh (locative) case.

Rule. A pada ending in ī or ū that stands in the sense of the locative (saptamī) — its locative ending having been dropped — is pragṛhya. The dropping (luk) of the case-ending is by supāṃ suluk (SK 3561). pragṛhyam is carried forward and, since the sūtra speaks of two vowels, is read as a dual.

Example.

somo gaurī + adhiśritaḥ → gaurī stands for gauryām, "in the gaurī", its locative ending dropped → pragṛhya → no yaṇ → somo gaurī adhiśritaḥ ("the soma is set in the gaurī").

māmakī tanū + iti → māmakī tanū stands for māmakyāṃ tanvām, "in my body" → pragṛhya → māmakī tanū iti; in the padapāṭha māmakī iti, tanū iti.

Applies when / blocked by. Why artha, "in the sense of", rather than simply "in the locative"? To exclude a word that has passed into a different meaning inside a compound (vṛtti). vāpyām aśvaḥ compounds to vāpyaśvaḥ: the first member vāpī has lost its locative ending, but it no longer rests in the bare locative sense — it now bears on the horse as well — so it is not pragṛhya, and yaṇ runs. A form that keeps its locative ending, such as vātapramī, is not an example either, because the base itself does not then carry the locative sense.

A [pada] ending in ī or ū that has come to rest in the sense of the locative (saptamyartha) is pragṛhya. Examples: somo gaurī adhiśritaḥ ("the soma is set upon [in] the gaurī"); māmakī tanū iti ("in my body"). The luk (dropping) of the locative case-ending here is by "supāṃ suluk…" (SK 3561). Why is "artha" (sense) mentioned [rather than simply saptamyām, "in the locative"]? So that [pragṛhya] should not apply where, within a compound (vṛtti), [the word] has passed over into a different meaning: vāpyām aśvaḥ → vāpyaśvaḥ.

īdūtau ca saptamyarthe — īdūtau ca. "pragṛhyam" is carried forward (anuvṛtti); and that [word, being singular in its source rule] is transformed into a dual-ending form [to agree with the dual "īdūtau"]. Since the word-form itself is the qualificand (viśeṣya), there is the tadanta-vidhi [i.e. "īdūtau" denotes words ending in ī and ū]. Although the [rule] would be established simply by "īdūtau ca saptamyām" ["ending in ī/ū in the locative"], because of the taking of "artha," by the maxim "where, upon the luk of the locative, what remains [the base] is the expressent of the meaning of the elided [case] (lupyamānārthābhidhāyin)," it is understood that the base itself comes to rest in the locative sense, and that this character (being so at rest) belongs to the [words] ending in ī and ū. And thus the literal sense (akṣarārtha) is: two words ending in ī and ū that have come to rest in the locative sense are pragṛhya. He states the upshot (phalita) with "saptamyarthe…" [the words of the Kaumudī]. "somo gaurī" — the meaning is gauryām ("in the gaurī"). The luk of the locative is by "supāṃ suluk." Being pragṛhya, there is prakṛtibhāva (retention of the original form), so no yaṇ. But a locative-ending form such as vātapramī is not an example here, because there, the locative not being elided, the base does not [itself] function in the locative sense. "māmakī tanū" — the meaning is māmakyāṃ tanvām ("in my body"). The luk of the locative is by "supāṃ suluk." Since the use of the word "iti" after pragṛhyas has been regulated by the authors of the padapāṭha, in the padapāṭha the fruit of pragṛhya-hood is to be understood in "māmakī iti" and "tanū iti" [where iti follows and pragṛhya blocks the sandhi]. Objection: let the sūtra instead be framed simply as "īdūtau ca saptamyāḥ" [genitive], and let the relation of the genitive be intended by way of "artha" (meaning); then, since the sense "[a word] ending in ī/ū present in the locative sense" is obtained even without the word "artha," what is the purpose of taking "artha"? — this he asks with "arthagrahaṇaṃ kim," meaning "for what purpose?"; here "kim" is an indeclinable. "vṛttau" — by the force of taking "artha," the intended sense is "[a word] that has come to rest in [nothing beyond] the mere meaning of the elided locative." And so, in a compound-vṛtti, when the first member ending in ī/ū — whose locative has been elided — passes beyond the locative sense and operates in the sense of the second member, the designation pragṛhya does not arise. "mā bhūt" [in the Kaumudī's mā bhūt] — the aorist [is] by "māṅi luṅ" [A 3.3.175], an apavāda of all the [other] lakāras. "vāpyaśvaḥ" — the analysis is "vāpyām aśvaḥ"; when compounded by "sup supā," the form is vāpyaśvaḥ. Here "vāpyām" (locative) is understood to convey the locus-relation (adhikaraṇatva), and that adhikaraṇa-kāraka depends on an action. There, supplying the action in "a horse dwells in the tank (vāpyām aśvo vartate)," the compound is to be stated with the operation proceeding by implication (lakṣaṇā) upon the horse present in the tank during the ongoing action. And thus, in the compound, since the word vāpī — whose locative is elided — passes beyond the locative sense and operates also upon the aśva, the located thing (ādheya) associated with it, there being no resting in the mere locative sense, there is no pragṛhya-hood. This is the point.

  • textual In the source the word aśva is repeatedly corrupted in this block: "vāpyaā" (for vāpyaśvaḥ), "vāpyāmaā"/"aā" (for vāpyām aśvaḥ), "vāpyāmaāo"/"'o"/"ao" (for vāpyām aśvo / aśvaḥ). The evident reading aśva has been followed throughout, consistent with the Kaumudī's own "vāpyām aśvo vāpyaśvaḥ."

अणोऽप्रगृह्यस्यानुनासिकः ॥ ११० ॥
aṇo'pragṛhyasyānunāsikaḥ
aṇo 'pragṛhyasyānunāsikaḥ — For an aṇ (a, i, u) that is not a pragṛhya, the anunāsika (its nasalized counterpart) optionally occurs at a pause (avasāna).

Rule. An aṇ vowel that is not pragṛhya optionally becomes anunāsika — nasal — at a pause (avasāna). The words vā, "optionally", and avasāne are carried forward. Here aṇ is formed with the first ṇ of the Śivasūtras, so it means a, i, u only, on the strength of the traditional exposition.

Example.

dadhi at a pause → its final i is an aṇ and not pragṛhya → optionally nasal → dadhiṃ (the ṃ marks the nasal i) or dadhi.

agnī at a pause → the ī of the dual is pragṛhya (SK 100) → not nasalised → agnī.

Applies when / blocked by. Why "not pragṛhya"? So that a pragṛhya vowel such as the ī of agnī stays as it is; the exemption of this chapter is mirrored here. Because aṇ is read as a i u, the final ṛ of kartṛ is not nasalised.

Watch out. This sūtra closes Bhaṭṭoji's section on vowel sandhi (ac-sandhi). Bhaṭṭoji's commentators remark that the very name ac-sandhi shows no sandhi between ac and sandhi; the grammar allows a technical word to be left uncombined to avoid ambiguity.

aṇo 'pragṛhyasyānunāsikaḥ — aṇo 'pragṛhyasya. [The words] "vā" (optionally) and "avasāne" (at a pause) are carried forward (anuvṛtti). This [Bhaṭṭoji] states with "apragṛhya-" etc. Here the "aṇ" is [the pratyāhāra] formed with the earlier ṇ [i.e., aṇ = a, i, u only], on the strength of the [traditional] exposition (vyākhyāna); and therefore, in "kartṛ," there is no anunāsika [since ṛ falls outside this aṇ].

"iti acsandhiḥ" [the ac-sandhi section is thus concluded]. From the usage in sūtra, vārttika, and Bhāṣya of [metalinguistic forms like] "alpāctaram," "siddham anaktvāt," and "katham anaktvam," the absence of sandhi (sandhy-abhāva) is sanctioned (abhyanujñāta) in places of this sort, for the sake of avoiding ambiguity (asaṃdeha). Hence here [in the compound "ac-sandhi"], even though kutva (guttural substitution) and cutva (palatal substitution) do not take place, there is no fault. — Thus [ends] the ac-sandhi [section] in the Bālamanoramā.

Now, the suffix-garland (pratyayamālā) for [items] ending in tiṅ [finite verbs]. About to state the pratyayamālā, [Bhaṭṭoji] says "kaṇḍūyateḥ san" [the san after kaṇḍūyati]. The idea is: by "dhātoḥ karmaṇaḥ..." (A 3.1.7). "prathamasyaikācaḥ" (of the first single-vowel portion): it should also be understood that, by "ajāder dvitīyasya" (A 6.1.2), the doubling (dvitva) of the second single-vowel portion is [otherwise] applicable [for a vowel-initial root]. "kaṇḍvādes tṛtīyasya": [the phrase] "the doubling of the single-vowel portion" is to be supplied. After "kaṇḍvādeḥ," [the words] "that ends in the yak-suffix" are to be supplied, since in the bare kaṇḍvādi roots there is no third single-vowel portion.

"kaṇḍūyiyiṣati": from "kaṇḍūya," which ends in yak, with the san-suffix and the iṭ-augment, there is elision of the [final] a (ato lopa); "is" being the third single-vowel portion, its doubling [applies]. "asu" (in the sense of distress) — a kaṇḍvādi root: asūyiyiṣati; the doubling of the third single-vowel portion, the root being vowel-initial (ajādi). "kyajantāt san" (the san after a root ending in kyac): [the words] "is given as an example (udāhriyate)" are to be supplied. "yatheṣṭaṃ nāmadhātuṣu" (as one wishes, among denominative roots) — this is a vārttika. "nāma" means a prātipadika (nominal stem); so [nāmadhātu means] "among the roots formed from such [stems]." "ajādes tu ādyetarasya" (but for a vowel-initial [root], of any one other than the first): the idea is that, by the anuvṛtti of "ajādeḥ," the sense obtained is "as one wishes, among the single-vowel portions that follow the initial vowel." "nadarāṇām" [the syllables na, da, ra]: meaning, among those, only of what follows the initial vowel. "indrīyateḥ san": meaning, the san after "indrīya," formed with kyac from the word "indra." "of the syllable drī and the syllable yi": the idea is that there is no doubling of the na, since it follows the initial vowel, but there is no prohibition of doubling for the da, since it does not [immediately] follow the initial vowel. "cicnadrīyiṣati": from "candrīyati," with san, the doubling of the first single-vowel portion. "candridrīyiṣati": the doubling of the second single-vowel portion.

"priyam": in the sense "wishes to express (ākhyātum) priyam," by [the vārttika] "tatkaroti tadācaṣṭe" [forming a ṇic-denominative], from the ṇic-ending stem, with san and iṭ — because of ṇau-iṣṭhavat-hood, for the word "priya" [there is], by "priyasthira..." (A 6.4.157), the substitution of prā; then vṛddhi; the puk-augment; the guṇa and the ayādeśa of the ṇic; and ṣatva — [so that] the desiderative-final stem is precisely "prāpayiṣa." But in the sense "wishes to cause (prerayitum) [someone] who is expressing priyam" — from the ṇic-ending "prāpi" just mentioned, with the causative (hetumat) ṇi added, and from that stem with san and iṭ: relying on the second ṇic, with elision (lopa) of the first ṇic and the guṇa and ayādeśa of the second ṇic, the desiderative-final stem is again precisely "prāpayiṣa." There, by "yatheṣṭaṃ nāmadhātuṣu" etc., since any one of the three single-vowel portions is doubled one at a time, there result three forms: "prāpayiṣati" and so on.

"urum": in the sense "wishes to express urum, or to cause [someone] expressing it" — from the word "uru," in the sense "expresses (ācaṣṭe)," with ṇic; by "priyasthira..." (A 6.4.157) the substitution "var"; the vṛddhi of the penult (upadhā), [giving] "vāri"; from that ṇic-ending stem, with san and iṭ, the guṇa and ayādeśa of the ṇic, and ṣatva — the desiderative-final stem is "vārayiṣa." On Mādhava's view, since vṛddhi is accepted, from "vārī" [taken] as a causative ṇyanta, with san and iṭ, elision of the first ṇi, and ṣatva, the form is likewise "vārayiṣa." There, by "yatheṣṭaṃ nāmadhātuṣu," since each single-vowel portion is doubled one at a time, there result three forms: "vivārayiṣati" and so on.

"bāḍhaṃ sisādhayiṣati": in the sense "wishes to express bāḍham, or to cause [someone] expressing it," the ṇic and the rest as before; by "antikabāḍhayoḥ..." (A 5.3.63) the substitution "sādha" [for bāḍha]; there, since the s is not itself a substitute [but part of the substitute sādha], there is no ṣatva. This [Bhaṭṭoji] states with "ṣatvaṃ tu nāsti" (but there is no ṣatva).

For "bobhūyiṣayiṣati" he shows the procedure (prakriyā): "yaṅ" — [the words] "of the root bhū" are to be supplied. With the doubling [of the yaṅ-intensive], "bobhūya" stands. "san": with iṭ, elision of the [final] a, and ṣatva, "bobhūyiṣa" stands. "ṇyantāt san": from "bobhūyiṣa," with the causative ṇic and elision of the [final] a, "bobhūyiṣi" stands; from that, with san and iṭ, the guṇa and ayādeśa of the ṇic, and ṣatva, "bobhūyiṣayiṣa" stands. Then, with the tip [ending] of laṭ, the śap, and pararūpa, the form is "bobhūyiṣayiṣati." Because of the statement "anabhyāsasya...," there is no further doubling.

Now for "bobhūyayiṣayati" he shows the procedure: "yaṅ" — "of the root bhū" is to be supplied; with doubling, "bobhūya" stands. "ṇij": from "bobhūya," with the causative ṇi and elision of the [final] a, "bobhūyi" stands. "sannantāt ṇij" [the ṇij after the desiderative-final]: from "bobhūyi," with san and iṭ, the guṇa and ayādeśa of the ṇic, and ṣatva, "bobhūyayiṣa" stands. From that, with the causative ṇic and elision of the [final] a, [we get] "bobhūyayiṣi"; from that, with the tip of laṭ, the śap, and the guṇa and ayādeśa, the form "bobhūyayiṣayati" is established.

The pratyayamālā (suffix-garland) is completed. Now [begins] the earlier kṛdanta section (pūrvakṛdanta-prakaraṇa).

translator notes
  • textual The source segments as one BM block a stretch that runs past the sūtra 'aṇo 'pragṛhyasyānunāsikaḥ' through the ac-sandhi colophon and well into the pratyayamālā (kaṇḍvādi desideratives and denominative-desiderative derivations). It is translated here in full as transmitted; the derivational forms (kaṇḍūyiyiṣati, cicnadrīyiṣati, prāpayiṣati, vārayiṣati, bobhūyiṣayiṣati, bobhūyayiṣayati, etc.) are kept exactly as given. Minor digitization glitches were followed without silent emendation, e.g. 'इति*बालमनोरमायाम्' (a stray asterisk) and 'चष्टे' set off by a spurious avagraha.
