We had the word ?????: in Lesson 2. Here it is ???????. Earlier the meaning
was "diligence, industriousness". Here the meaning is "by indulgence, by
industriousness". So the meaning of the preposition "by" is included in the
meaning of this word "???????" here. Both the words "?????:" and "???????"
are declined forms of the root word "?????". All nouns, pronouns and
adjectives have declensions in different cases. Earlier in the glossaries in
Lessons 1 and 2 had declensions of root word "???" as "???" and "???:" in
Address case and Nominative case respectively. Here we have declensions in
Nominative (called as "first case") and instrumental (called as "third
case"). Cases are eight, from first to seventh and the address case. Cases
second to seventh do the job of different propositions. The third case does
the job of prepositions "by"and "with".
Words (7) and (8) are also in third (instrumental) case. There also we have
the preposition "by".
Words (9) and (10) are in sixth (genitive, showing ownership) case which do
the job of the preposition "of" or of the apostrophe in word (10).
Word (12) is in seventh (locative) case, which does the function of
prepositions "in", "into", "on", "upon", "above", "below", "under". All
these prepositions show a location. So, the seventh case is the locative
case.
Nouns, pronouns and adjectives decline also by number - singular, dual,
plural. We had "cloud rains" (singular), "cloud thunders" (singular),
"gentleman does" (singular). We had "six exist"(plural). Here we have "tasks
are accomplished" (plural) "deer enter" (plural).
Verbs also have declensions, influenced by number. This is so in grammar of
all languages, e.g. in English, "I am", "We are".
Verbs also decline due to tense. So far we have all sentences in present
tense. Verbs also decline by "person" e.g. "I am" (first person), "He is"
(third person). So far we have all sentences in third person.
We shall get to know various declensions of nouns, pronouns, adjectives and
also of verbs, as we proceed. I have been thoughtfully selective in taking
up the verses, so that, we shall have graded progress. That also merits
appreciation, right ?
And all this grammar does not, may not stop us from our learning the verses.
It is being mentioned just for information. Let us get on with usual
exercises of composing phrases, which help us to understand the meaning.
There is only one conjugations in this whole verse. The conjugated phrases
are marked by *
(6) + (7) = (8) ??? + ???? = ???????
But here the two words have together become one word, a compound word.
14together (as prefix)sam???15to be, to sit, to putAsaH???16put together
samAsaH?????17compound wordsamAsaH?????
Even a word like ????? a compound word, which is a grammatical term has a
derivation. Everything in Sanskrit has a logic and a structure. There is
that finesse, the refinement, hence, Sanskrit !
Well, ??? is a prefix. Every prefix has a meaning too ! ??? means together.
There is another here ??? in ??????????. It is all interesting. But it will
become digressing from our composing the verse and understanding its
meaning.
Exercises 4
>From the words 1 to 13 in the glossary, prepare the following phrases -
No.PhraseSanskrit in
transliterationSanskrit in
Devanagari1by diligence, only, are accomplished, tasks,__________
__________ _____________________ __________ _________2not, by dreams,
__________ ___________ __________________ __________ ________3not, of
course, of sleeping, lion's__________ __________ ___________________
__________ ________4enter, into mouth, deer__________ __________
___________________ __________ ________
In the glossary, you have the word "not" only once. Actually we had this
word earlier also. It is repeated here just for convenience. Word (2) has
two different meanings and are judiciously put in phrases (1) and (3).
For the English word "does" we have in the glossary two Sanskrit words
?????? and ?????. They are interchangeable. Or even any one of the two can
be used at both the places. But to keep the matter simple, in phrase 3, I
have put "does" independently after "not". In phrase 4, I have put it
together "does only" as in the glossary. Use the glossary. So you will know
which fits better where.
As usual, now you can write down two-two phrases in one line. By that it
becomes a good two-line verse, a good saying a ????????? !!
Here is, how it would read -
udyamena hi siddhyanti kAryaNi na mano-rathaiH
na hi suptasya sinhasya pravishanti mukhe mRugAH
??????? ?? ??????????? ???????? ? ??????? ?
? ?? ???????? ??????? ?????????? ???? ????? ?
In many a ????????? we shall find this style of a hypothesis and its proof
by a commonplace example or an example and a moral therefrom. Isn't it all
charming how the poets have thought of an example, derived a moral or a
proof and put it all in a short, sweet verse !
I am sure you will like this good saying ????????? as well. Learn it by
heart.
