kartari kRt ONPANINI 34067
kRt affixes mean the doer.mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 376

This rule uses the word kartari "means the doer" in two slightly different senses --

First sense. A kRt affix, such as for instance kvin or tRc, will mean the doer of the action it is attached to, unless some rule says otherwise. Therefore yuj + kvin means "a joiner", and so does yuj + tRc. But yuj + tumun does not mean "a joiner", because rule tumunNvulau says otherwise.

Second sense. The affixes that make verblikes, such as ktavatu, will mean the doer. But the kRtya do not mean the doer, because rule tayoreva says otherwise.

laH karmaNi ca bhAve c%AkarmakebhyaH ONPANINI 34069
Tenses mean the object too. After objectless, they mean nothing too.mmmmmmmmm ^ M- C+ 377

We are trickling "means the doer". So this rule teaches that --

tense replacers, after an objectful root, may mean the doer or mean the object. Choose freely.

tense replacers, after an objectless root, may mean the doer or mean nothing. Choose freely.

Example after kSip "shoot", an objectful root --

Suppose we want to say "the two brothers shoot arrows", with root kSip and tense laT.

Here the doer is "the two brothers", third person dual, and the object is "arrows", third person plural.

Rule lasya says that in kSip + laT, we must replace the laT affix with some tiG affix. But, which one?

This rule says that we have two choices. Either we use a tiG that represents the doer, or a tiG that represents the object.

(option 1, represent the doer) As the doer is third person dual, our tiG must be third person, and dual. So it will be either tas or AtAm. It will be flat because root kSip usually takes flat affixes. So it must be the affix tas.

kSip + kartari laT tas → kSip + za + tas → kSipatas "both shoot"

and we say

bhrAtarau zarAn kSipataH "the two brothers shoot arrows"

(option 2, represent the object) Our object is third person plural, so we need a third person plural tiG. That means it will be either jhi or jha. But because of rule bhAvakarmaNoH, it must be jha. So --

kSip + karmaNi laT jha → kSip + yak + jha → kSipya + ante''' → kSipyante "they are shot"

and we say

bhrAtRbhyaM zarAH kSipyante "the two brothers shoot arrows"

Now with an objectless root (like As "sit" or svap "sleep", that never take any object), we have an option between choosing an affix that means the doer, like here --

As + kartari laG jha → As + ata''' → Asata "they sat"

As in --

Asata kaTe biDalAH "cats sat on mat"

or an affix that means nothing, namely ta --

As + bhAve laG ta → As + ta → As + yak + ta → Asyata "sitting happened"

As in --

Asyata kaTe biDalaiH "cats sat on mat"

tayor eva kRtya;kta;khal-arthAH ONPANINI 34070
kRtya kta khalartha only ( mean the object or mean nothing).mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 378

The kRtya kta khal-artha nounbases never mean the doer of their root. So if the root is objectful, these mean the object, an if it is objectless, they mean nothing.

Examples.

(1) We add kta after kR, getting kRta-. Because of rule niSThA, this means that an action of making happened in the past. Because of this rule, the nounbase kRta- gets the gender, number and case from its object (whatever was made), and not from the maker --

tvayA kaTaH kRtaz cAruH "you made a pretty mat, a pretty mat was made by you"

(tvayA got third from kartRkaraNa because kRtas does not mean the doer)

(kaTas did not get the second from karmaNidvi because kRtas means the object)

(2) Joining the root kR "make" and the kRtya affix, tavya, we get kartavya-. Because of this rule, here the nounbase kartavya- copied the gender, number and case of kaTau, the object of kR --

kartavyau bhavatA kaTau "two mats must be made by you, you must make two mats"

This rule always applies to the words formed with kRtya affixes and khalartha affixes. However, after certain roots, some kta enders can mean the doer sometimes, by the optional exceptions AdikarmaNi, gatyarthA. Example -- zliSTas can mean either "he was hugged" by this rule, or "he hugged" by gatyarthA.

Adi-karmaNi ktaH kartari ca ONPANINI 34071

Usually, kta-enders do not mean the doer, by tayoreva above. So we may say ---

prakRtaH kaTo devadattena "John started to make a mat"

But according to this optional exception, we may also say make prakRta- mean the doer --

prakRtaH kaTam devadattaH "John started to make a mat"

After these roots, kta may mean the doer or not.

Example with a gati (movement root). A gati is any root that has gatau written after it in the dhAtupATha. Like plu pluG gatau 01.1112, and gam gamL gatau. So, according to the previous rule, anugata- cannot mean the doer and we can only say --

sItayA 'nugato rAmaH "sItA followed rAma"

But this rule says that anugata- can mean the doer too --

sItA 'py anugatA rAmam "sItA too followed rAma"

Example with objectless glai + kta "weary" --

glAno bhavAn

glAnamM bhavatA

Examples with zliS "hug" --

upazliSTo gurumM bhavAn "you hugged the teacher"

upazliSTo gurur bhavatA "you hugged the teacher"

This root can be objectless too, so we can use it bhAve --

upazliSTamM bhavatA "you did some hugging"

As is not objectful, but upa + As "sit near" is. So we say usually --

upAsito gurur sItayA "sItA sat near the teacher"

But when this rule works --

upAsitA guruM sItA "sItA sat near the teacher"

lasya ONPANINI 34077
tense to tiG.mmmmmmmmm ^ M- C+ 383

In more detail --

"after adding a tense to a root, we must always replace the tense with a tiG".

Example.

To mean "you throw", in a sentence like "you throw stones", we may join kSip + laT, because rule vartamAnelaT says so.

Now, because of this rule, we must inmediately replace laT with one of the eighteen tiG. Because of other rules ( laHkarmaNi and many others), in this case we can use either sip or jha as replacement.

If we choose sip --

kSip + laT kSip + kartari sip → kSip + za + sip → kSipasi "you throw"

and our sentence will be

zilAH kSipasi "you throw stones"

But if we choose jha --

kSip + laT kSip + karmaNi jha → kSip + yak + jha → kSip + ya + ante''' → kSipyante "they are being thrown"

and our sentence will be

zilAH kSipyante tvayA "you throw stones, stones are thrown by you"

These are some of the rules that teach which ones of the eighteen tiG affixes will replace a tense. Do not read all in one sitting, lest your head should fall off --

laHkarmaNi

dvyeka

tiGastrINi

tAnyeka

anudAttaGi

bhAvakarmaNoH.

Most of the time, two of the tiG affixes are allowed, because rule laHkarmaNi allows us to choose freely between two options, and once we have made that choice, usually all the other rules work automatically with no more options allowed. There are exceptions to that; for instance, after the root plu or other bendy roots, only one tiG is allowed.

VERY IMPORTANT WARNING. This rule works every single time we make a verb. This is why, instead of typing --

kSip + laT →lasya kSip + kartari sip → kSip + za + sip → kSipasi "you throw"

, like I did above, I will sometimes type --

kSip + laT sip → kSip + za + sip → kSipasi "you throw"

, in order to save space. This "kSip + laT sip" thingie means that first we add laT after the root kSip, and then we replace laT with sip by rule lasya . This laT sip NEVER EVER means that we first add laT and then add sip after it. laT or other tenses never get anything added after them, they are always replaced with something else. No exceptions.

The last affix is mahi, not mahiG. This G is added at the end of the whole list so that, by rule Adirantyena, the term tiG will mean "the affixes from tip to mahi", and taG will mean "affixes from ta to mahi". See Adirantyena and taG;AnAv Atmanepadam.

Also, the T in the iT' affix is just a tellaparter. It does not trigger Tita.

Tita:: AtmanepadAnAM Ter e ONPANINI 34079

Example. When in plu + laT dhvam, the dhvam is a bent tiG replaces laT, a Tit tense. The tail of dhvam is am. Replacing the tail with e makes dhvam become dhve --

plu + laT → plu + dhvam → plava + dhvam plava + dhve''' → plavadhve "y'all jump"

This rule replaces eight of the nine bent tiG , and the next rule thAsasse replaces the ninth. So, in Tit tenses, the bent turn into --

te''' Ate''' jhe'''

se''' Athe''' dhve'''

e''' vahe''' mahe'''

Of course, jhe''' will turn into ante''' or ate''', by jhontaH or its exceptions.

The first five are Nalatusus thal athus, the first five affixes of the nine mentioned in the previous rule.

This rule boils down to saying that we may, if we like, replace bravIti brUtaH bruvanti bravISi brUThas with --

Aha "says"

Ahatus "they two say"

Ahus "they say"

Attha "you say"

Ahathus "you2 say"

respectively.

This Ah is not a true root; it is just a replacement of brU root that is only used to make these five words.

If we take pANini seriously, we are trickling laT from the previous rule, so those five words can only mean the present and not the past. Yet, ignore that. They have been used to mean the present or the past since forever. For instance in the bhg we can hear --

the rules that replace laG (namely tasthastha, nityaGGitaH) work on them, and turn them into --

and then ADutta will turn the last two into Ava''' Ama'''.

Examples --

gaccha + loT tas gaccha + tAm''' → gacchatAm "let both go"

gaccha + loT thas gaccha + tam''' → gacchatam "go! (the two of you)"

gaccha + loT mas gaccha + ma''' →ADutta gaccha + Ama''' → gacchAma "let's go"

Notice that the rule says " loT replacers work LIKE laG replacers", but it does NOT replace loT with laG. The substitutes are still loT, and that's why we got no luGlaG in the above examples.

hi''' being apit, rule hard apit is Git works on it, and it has label G.

te vayanM tatra gacchAmaH praSTuGM kurupitAmaham | praNamya zirasA cainamM mantramM pRcchAma mAdhava || "we go ask Grampa, let's ask him humbly for advice"

Back to loT replacements .

eta:: ai ONPANINI 34093
e (of the first person loT) to ai.mmmmmmmmm ^ M- C+ 398

So iT' vahi mahi first turn into e''' vahe''' mahe''' by Tita, then into ai vahai mahai by this rule, and then get AT by the previous rule, making ai''', Avahai''', Amahai''', which are pit --

edh + loT iT' → edh + e''' edh + ai →ADutta edh + ai''' → edhai "let me increase"

edh + loT vahi → edh + vahe''' edh + vahai →ADutta edh + Avahai''' → edhAvahai "let the two of us increase"

edh + loT mahi → edh + mahe''' edh + mahai →ADutta edh + Amahai''' → edhAmahai "let us increase"

Don't worry much about these forms -- if you ever think you need to use one, use the laT or the liG instead, works fine.
