ato dIrgho yaJi ONPANINI 73101
Lengthen "a" before hard v m.mmmmmmmmm ^ M- C+ 867 tiG

Example. mip mahi are hard when they replace laT, and start with m, so they lengthens any a --

paca + laT mip pacAmi "I cook"

adRzya + mahe''' dRzyAmahe "we are being seen"

More xamples --

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

hR + lRT mip hariSya + mip hariSyAmi "I will take"

adRzya + mahi adRzyAmahi "we were seen"

Counterexample. am''' is hard here, but it starts with a, not m, so this rule does not work --

paca + laG mip →luGlaG apaca + mip → apaca + am''' →atoguNe apacam "I cooked"

For this rule to work, the wording ato dIrgho mvoH would have been enough. But pANini said ato dIrgho yaJi so that yaJi trickles down to the next rule.

supi ca ONPANINI 73102
("a" to "A") before bhyAm ya.mmmmmmmmm ^ M- C+ 868

ya is the replacement of Ge made by GeryaH. Example before ya --

rAma- + Ge →GeryaH rAma + ya rAmAya "to rAma"

Example before bhyAm --

azva- + bhyAm azvAbhyAm "with / to / from two horses"

The rule literally says " (lengthen a) before all sup (that start with a yaJ letter) ". Puzzle for you. Figure out why only ya and bhyAm will trigger this rule.

bahuvacane jhaly et ONPANINI 73103
(a to) e before plural bh s.mmmmmmmmm ^ M- C+ 869

Exception to supica, that would have replaced a with A.

This rule works before sup' bhyas, and very rarely before bhis. We say "before plural" so that supica works before dual bhyAm.

Example with sup' --

vRkSa- + sup' vRkSe + su →kric vRkSe + Su → vRkSeSu "on trees"

Example with bhyas --

vRkSa- + bhyas vRkSebhyas "to trees, from trees"

This rule won't ordinarily work before bhis, because rule atobhisa::ais is stronger. Yet, when some exception stops atobhisa, then bhis stays, and then bahuvacanejhalyet makes abhis into ebhis. There are two such exceptions --

(1) nedamadasorakoH says that bhis is not replaced with ais after idam-

idam- + bhis a + bhis ebhis "by these"

(2) bahulaMchandasi says that sometimes, in the veda, bhis stays after a. So there we hear --

deva + bhis devebhis "by the devas"

As in devo devebhir A gamat "the god comes with the gods", from the agnisUktam.

The original rule says jhali "(before plural sup) that starts with a serious". The only such plural sup are sup', bhyas, and bhis, so I translated "that starts with bh s".

Example --

sItA- + @calling sIte + s →eGhra sIte → sIte "hey sItA"

ambArtha;nadyor hrasvaH ONPANINI 73107
Before calling, shorten "dear mother" and nadImmmmmmmmm ^ M+ C+ 873

The compound ambArtha- translates as "nounbases that mean dear mother". Three of those not nadI -- amba-, akka- and alla-. Those three take Ap by ajAdya, then shorten before the calling --

amba- @f + @calling →ajAdya ambA + s amba + s →eGhra amba "hey mommy"

akka "hey mommy"

alla "hey mommy"

All nadI shorten before the calling --

kacchapa- @f + @calling →jAtera kacchapa- + GI + s →yasyetica kacchapI + s →yUstryAkhyaunadI kacchapI ( nadI ) + s kacchapi + s →eGhra kacchapi "hey she-turtle"

vadhU- + @calling vadhu + s →eGhra vadhu "hey young lady"

In these two, it is rule eGhra that deletes the calling, not halGyA. halGyA cannot delete after U, and cannot delete after shortened GI.

Examples --

guru- + @calling guro + s →eGhra guro "hey teacher"

This rule will not work on the i u that were made from I U by ambArtha;nadyor hrasvaH --

he kumAri "hey princess"

he vadhu "hey young lady"

And of course it won't work on long I U --

jasi ca ONPANINI 73109

Exception to prathamayo.

As this makes an e o before an a, ecoya will always work --

kapi- + jas kape + jas →ecoya kapayas "monkeys"

guru- + jas guro + jas →ecoya guravas "teachers"

Rto Gi;sarvanAmasthAnayoH ONPANINI 73110

Example before Gi --

pitR- m + Gi pitari "about father"

Examples before strong au, jas, am, and the calling su --

pitR- m + am pitaram "father"

mAtA pitA ca "mother and father" →supodhA mAtR- + pitR- + su →dvyeka mAtR- + pitR + au →AnaGRtodvandve mAtA + pitR + au matApitarau "parents"

pitR- m + @calling pitar + s →halGyA pitar "hey dad"

As in --

naivAnyathedamM bhavitA pitar eSa bravImi te

pitas te pratijAnAmi na zlokSye 'haGM kadA cana "Father, I promise, I promise! that I won't ever make verses"

This ar will maybe become Ar by ap;tRn;tRc --

netR- m + am netaram →aptRntRc netAram "leader"

There are no examples before non- calling su, because of exception Rduzana.

There are no examples before zi, because napuMsakasyajhalacaH works first and makes the zi not be right after R --

kartR- @n + zi →napuMsakasyajhalacaH kartRn + zi →rAjAnam kartRRni →Natvam kartRRNi @n "maker devices"

gher Giti ONPANINI 73111
wee to ( guNa) before Gitmmmmmmmmm ^ M- C+ 877

For instance, kapi- and guru- are wee, so we get --

kapi- + Gas kape- + Gas →GasiGasozca kapes "of monkey"

guru- + Gas guro + Gas →GasiGasozca guros "of teacher"

This also works before Gasi and Ge --

kapi- + Gasi kape- + Gasi →GasiGasozca kapes "from monkey"

kapi- + Ge kape- + e →ecoya kapaye "to monkey"

But it won't work before Gi, because aut overrides this rule --

kapau matkuNAH "on monkey there are fleas"

This rule always works on all masculines that end in i u, except sakhi- and uncompounded pati-, because those are not wee. Those two just get khyatyAtparasya before Gas Gasi. And before Ge they get just ikoyaNaci.

After a feminine in i u, this rule will work only if we didn't take the Gitihrasvazca option --

mati- @f + Gas mates "of opinion"

After a neuter, rule ikocivibhaktau will ordinarily work, debarring this one, but when the optional exception tRtIyAdiSu stops the ikocivibhaktau, this one kicks back in. So we may have masculine-like zuces here --

zucer vAriNaH "of clean water"

instead of the ordinary zucino vAriNaH, with ikocivibhaktau on both words.

AN nadyAH ONPANINI 73112
After nadI, (the Git) get ATmmmmmmmmm ^ M- C+ 878

As AT is a titaugment, it will replace Ge Gasi Gas Gi with ai As As Am, this way --

AT + Ge →vRddhireci ai

AT + Gasi OR Gas →akassa As

AT + Gi →GerAm AT + Am →akassa Am

This rule will always work on the I U feminines that are compulsorily nadI --

nadI- + Gasi nadI + As →ikoyaNaci nadyAs "from river"

strI- + Gasi strI + As →striyAH striyAs "from woman"

but after the i u feminines, it will only work if we take the Gitihrasvazca option --

mati- @f + Gas mati + As →ikoyaNaci matyAs "of opinion"

dhenu- @f + Gas dhenu + As →ikoyaNaci dhenvAs "of cow"

Otherwise, they work just like the masculine --

mati- @f + Gas mates "of opinion" ( same steps as kapes, see gherGiti )

dhenu- @f + Gas dhenos "of cow" ( same steps as guros )

Remember that the Ap-enders are feminine, but not nadI. This rule does not work on them, but yADApaH does.

yAD ApaH ONPANINI 73113
( Git get) yAT after Apmmmmmmmmm ^ M- C+ 879

As yAT is a titaugment, this is the same thing as saying --

"After Ap, replace Ge Gasi Gas Gi with yai yAs yAs yAm "

Because --

Ap + Ge A + Ge + yAT → A + (yA + e) →vRddhireci Ayai

Ap + Gasi OR Gas A + (yA + as) →akassa AyAs

Ap + Gi →GerAm A + Am A + (yA + Am) →akassa AyAm

Examples --

sItA- + Ge → sItAyai "to sItA"

sItA- + Gasi → sItAyAs "from sItA"

sItA- + Gas → sItAyAs "of sItA"

sItA- + Gi → sItAyAm "about sItA"

A sentence with sItayAs in it --

5020001a sItAyA vacanaM zrutvA paruSaM rAkSasAdhipaH

5020001c pratyuvAca tatasH sItAM vipriyamM priyadarzanAm

rAmAyaNa 5 22 Griffith translation

This will not work if the Ap follows a pronoun, because the next rule, sarvanAmnassyADDhrasvazca.

sarvanAmnaH syAD Dhrasvaz ca ONPANINI 73114
After pronoun, ( Git gets) syAT, and the stem shortens.mmmmmmmmm ^ M- C+ 880

Exception to yADApaH, that will not work after a pronoun that got Ap.

By the same reasons explained under yADApaH, this rule replaces

Ge Gasi Gas Gi

with

syai syAs syAs syAm.

In addition, it shortens the Ap. This rule is unusual because the replacement and the shortening happen at the same time; most command rules do just one thing.

Examples after tA- ( which comes from tad- + Ap , by tyadAdInAmaH and yasyetica ) --

tA- + Ge ta- + syai → tasyai "to her"

tA- + Gasi ta- + syAs → tasyAs "from her"

tA- + Gi ta- + syAm → tasyAm "about her"

And this is a prayer --

yA devI sarvabhuteSu nidrArUpeNa saMsthitA | namas tasyai namas tasyai namas tasyai namo namaH ||

that you can hear here --

Complete Devi Suktam (Ya Devi Sarva Bhuteshu...) with Sanskrit lyrics

Ger Am nady;Am;nIbhyaH ONPANINI 73116
Replace Gi with Am after nadI, Ap, nI.mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 881

Exception to ANnadyAH.

Examples after nadI --

nadI- + Gi nadI- + Am → nadyAm "in river"

vadhU- + Gi vadhU- + Am → vadhvAm "about the wife"

Example after Ap --

khaTvA- + Gi khaTvA- + Am →yADApaH khaTvA- + yAm → khaTvAyAm "in bed"

Example after rootnoun nI --

grAmaNI- @mf + Gi grAmaNI- + Am → grAmaNyAm "about the mayor"

Here aciznu was overriden by eranekAco. grAmaNI- mf stays before consonants, gets y replacement before vowels.

In the mahAbhArata this change happens after lakSmI- too --

(Replace Gi with Am) after i u (-ender nadI).mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 882

So, if we use rule Gitihrasvazca to make feminine mati- "opinion" into a nadI, we get --

mati- + Gi mati + Am → matyAm "in the opinion (of)"

Otherwise mati- will be a wee, and mati- will get the same rules as the masculine --

mati- + Gi →accagheH mata- + au → matau "in the opinion"

Example --

guru- m + Gi guru + au →accagheH gura + au → gurau "about teacher"

Example when mati- did not become nadI by Gitihrasvazca --

mati- @f + Gi mati + au → matau "in the opinion (of)"

When we choose mati- to be nadI, however, we get matyAm by GerAm.

sakhi- does not get accagheH, because it is not a wee --

sakhi- + Gi sakhi + au → sakhyau "about friend"

ac ca gheH ONPANINI 73119
wee merges (with Gi into au).mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 884

So we replace u + Gi with au and i + Gi with au too. Examples --

guru- m + Gi gurau "about teacher"

giri- m + Gi girau "on mountain"

As in --

gurau dveSaH "hate towards teacher"

girau vRkSAH "there are trees on the mountain"

Rule Gitihrasvazca says that feminines in i u, such as mati-, can be wee or not. So if in mati- f + Gi we choose mati- to be nadI, this rule won't work --

mati- f + Gi →idudbhyAm mati + Am →ikoyaNaci matyAm "in the opinion"

but if we choose non- nadI, it works like the masculine --

mati- f + Gi matau "in the opinion"

This rule won't work on sakhi- and uncompounded pati-, because they are not wee --

sakhi- + Gi →aut sakhi + au →ikoyaNaci sakhyau "about friend"

pati- + Gi patyau "about husband"

Of course it will work on compounded pati- --
