bahu;gaNa;vatu;Dati saMkhyA PANINIRULES 11023
bahu- gaNa- vat(u) Dati are numerals.mmmmmmmmm ^ M+ C+ 31

The numerals (saGMkhyA, also known as "numbers") are the nounbases eka- dvi- tri- catur- etc, that mean "one two three four" etc.

This rule says that

bahu- "many",

gaNa- "group",

and the words made with the affixes vatu and Dati

are numerals too.

Some words made with the affix vat(u) --

tAvat "as much as"

yAvat "that much"

etAvat "this much"

This vatu affix is not the same as vatup "that has", as in himavat-.

Some words made with the affix Dati --

kati "how many?"

tati "as many as"

yati "that many"

These nounbases are dubbed " numeral"s by this rule so that they will be affected by the rules that affect eka- dvi- tri- etc. For instance, bahu- "many" can get the affixes DaT, kRtvasuc, dhA', zas', tayap, just like sahasra- gets them --

sahasra- + kRtvasuc → sahasrakRtvas "a thousand times"

bahu- + kRtvasuc → bahukRtvas "many times"

numeral that ends in S n is sixlike.mmmmmmmmm ^ M- C+ 32

In other words: these six nounbases are sixlike --

paJcan- "five"

SaS- "six"

saptan- "seven"

aSTan- "eight"

navan- "nine"

dazan- "ten"

Being sixlike makes rule SaDbhyoluk work. That's why the dvAdazan- here gets no jas --

dvi- + dazan- + jas →dvyaSTanassa dvA + dazan + jas →SaDbhyoluk dvA + dazan- + luk →nalopaHprA dvAdaza "twelve"

Of course, by yenavidhi, the numbers ekAdazan- dvAdazan- etc are sixlike too.

kta;ktavatU niSThA PANINIRULES 11026
The niSThA are kta and ktavatu.mmmmmmmmm ^ M- C+ 34

The affixes (k)ta and (k)tavat(u) make adjectival nounbases. Because of rule niSThA, they mean that the action already happened. Examples --

nI + kta m + su → nIta- + su → nItas "he was led"

nI + ktavatu m + su → nItavat(u)- + su → nItavAn "he led, you led, I led" ( same steps as hanumAn )

These forms are often used as verblikes. As in --

ajo grAmamM mayA nItaH "I led the goat to the village"

grAmanM tanM nItavAn aham "I led him to the village"

They can be used as normal adjectives too --

senAM vande tvayA nItAm "I praise the army that you led"

See kta and ktavatu for more examples.

Important detail. In many styles of Sanskrit (including most styles of 21st century spoken Sanskrit), the past tenses ( laG, liT and luG) are seldom used, because most past statements have a kta-ender or a ktavatu-ender instead of a verb. Doing this is perfectly grammatical, and if you are a native speaker of Hindi or some other languages derived from Sanskrit, it is far more convenient. It also relieves lazy students from the burden of having to learn the laG, liT and luG rules.

sarvAdIni sarvanAmAni PANINIRULES 11027
The pronouns are sarva- etc.mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 35

The pronouns, a.k.a. sarvanAma or sarvAdi or sarva-class, are the nounbases listed in group 1 of the gaNapATha, which includes, but is not limited to --

sarva- vizva- ubha- ubhaya-

tvat tva nema sama sima

tyad- tad- yad- etad-

idam- adas-

eka- dvi-

yuSmad- asmad- bhavatu- kim-

Also, sva-, antara are pronouns.

Besides these, there are nounbases that are pronouns only before certain sup (see for instance vibhASA jasi ).

These are some of the rules that work only after pronouns --

jasaH zI -- jas to zI

sarvanAmnaH smai -- Ge to smai

Gasi;GyoH smAt;sminau -- Gasi Gi to smAt smin

Readers familiar with grammars of European languages should take into account that the rule "a pronoun replaces a noun" does not work in Sanskrit. Sanskrit pronouns are special only in that they change some sup that come after them. For instance, masculine sarva- with jas makes sarve (by jasaHzI), not sarvAH (by prathamayo). The feminine and the neuter are normal (sarvAs, sarvANi).

na bahuvrIhau PANINIRULES 11029
Unless inside a longhorn.mmmmmmmmm ^ M- C+ 36

Exception to sarvAdIni sarvanAmAni. The sarvAdi are not pronouns when they are inside a longhorn.

So lone vizva- is a pronoun --

vizva- + jas →jasazzI vizva + zI →AdguNaH vizve "everybody"

as in

vizve me priyAH "I love everybody"

But priyavizva- "that loves everybody" isn't, so jasazzI won't work here --

priyavizva- + jas →prathamayo priyavizvAH "those that love everybody"

Or a dvandva.mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 38

Inside a dvandva, the sarvAdi are not pronouns.

So, for "of easterners and westerners", we say pUrvAparANAm, not pUrvApareSAm.

pUrva + apara + Am pUrva + apara (not pronoun) + Am pUrvaparANAm

where rule Ami sarvanAmnaH suT did not work because this rule made apara into a pronoun.

vibhASA jasi PANINIRULES 11032
Optionally before jas.mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 39

But dvandva compounds of sarvAdi are optionally pronouns before jas.

So we may say, by previous rule --

pUrvAparAH "easterns and westerners"

or, by this option --

pUrvApare "easterns and westerners"

This rule will not work after akac. So katarakatamakAH, never ake.

The words "is a pronoun optionally before jas" trickle down to the next four rules prathamacarama pUrvaparA svamajJAti antarambahi.

prathama-carama-tayAlpArdha-katipaya-nemAz ca PANINIRULES 11033
prathama carama tayap alpa ardha katipaya nema (are optionally pronouns before jas).mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 40

tayap means nounbases ending in tayap, such as paJcataya- "made up of five parts".

So "the first ones" may be prathamAH or prathame.

prathama + jas prathama ( pronoun) + jas →jasazzI prathama + zI →AdguNaH prathame "the first ones"

KAZIKA vibhASA jasi iti vartate. dvandve iti nivRttam. prathama carama taya alpa ardha katipaya nema ityete jasi vibhASA sarvanAmasaMjJA bhavanti. prathame, prathamAH. carame, caramAH. dvitaye, dvitayAH. alpe, alpAH. ardhe, ardhAH. katipaye, katipayaH. neme, nemAH. taya iti tayap pratyayaH. ziSTAni prAtipadikAni. tatra nema iti sarvAdiSu paThyate, tasya prApte vibhaSA, anyeSAm aprApte. ubhayazabdasya tayappratyayAntasya gane pAThAn nityA sarvanAmasaMjJA iha api jaskAryaM prati vibhASA. kAkacoryathAyogaM vRttiH.

Notice that nema- is naturally a pronoun because it was mentioned in the sarvAdi list. So this rule allows it to optionally not be a pronoun before jas, and it is a pronoun before everything else. The other entries, like prathama, are naturally not pronouns and this rule allows them to be pronouns before jas.

pUrva-parAvara- dakSiNottarAparAdharANi vyavasthAyAm asaMjJAyAm PANINIRULES 11034
pUrva para avara dakSiNa uttara apara adhara (are optionally pronouns before jas) if they mean relative position and are not tags.mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 41

So when we are south of Nepal, we may say either --

nepAlA uttarAH "the Nepalese are northerners"

by the general rule, or --

nepAlA uttare "the Nepalese are northerners"

if we use this option, because --

uttara + jas uttara pronoun + jas →jasazzI uttara + zI →AdguNaH uttare

This rule won't work when these words do not mean relative position. So when dakSiNa- means "clever" it can't be a pronoun, and we must say here dakSiNAs, not dakSiNe --

dakSiNA ime gAthakAH "these purANa chanters are clever"

Also this rule won't work when these bases are in a tag. So when uttarAH kuravaH "the Northern Kurus" is the name of a country "north kuru country", we can't say uttare. But we can still say uttare kuravaH to mean "the kurus are north from here", kurus here meaning some people from that family.

sva- (before jas is optionally a pronoun) unless it means a relative or wealth.mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 42

sva- may mean "one's own", "a relative", or "wealth, property".

When it means one's own, it is a pronoun before all sup,

svasmAt putrAt "from his own son"

except before jas, where it can be a pronoun --

sve putrAH "his sons"

or not --

svAH putrAH "his sons"

But when sva- means "wealth" or "a relative", it is never a pronoun. So in prabhUtAsH svA na dIyante "not many riches are given", we can't say sve.

ktvA-tosun-kasunaH PANINIRULES 11040
ktvA, tosun, kasun enders (are unchanging)mmmmmmmmm ^ C+ 47

Example. To say "sItA made a pot and gave it to me" we might join the sentences sItA kumbham akarot "sItA made a pot" and me 'dadAt "and gave it to me" like this --

sItA kumbham akarot me cAdadAt

but rule samAnakartR allows us to replace akarot "made" with kRtvA, which is kR + ktvA and has the same meaning --

sItA kumbhaGM kRtvA me 'dadAt

Now what sort of word is this kRtvA? As ktvA is a kRt affix, kRtvA is a nounbase. And, like akarot, it describes the doer, sItA. So, following the ordinary rules of grammar, like GyApprA, it should get su after it, and maybe a feminine affix.

Yet, because of this rule, kRtvA- is an unchanging nounbase. This makes it get no sup and no feminine affix.

zi sarvanAmasthAnam PANINIRULES 11042
zi is strongmmmmmmmmm ^ M+ C+ 49

zi only appears after neuters, and only by rule jazzasozziH.

After a neuter, only zi is strong.

Here, the fact that zi is strong makes the rAjAnam rule work --

nAman- n + jas → nAman- + zi nAman- + @strong zi →rAjAnam nAmAni "names"

Back to strong affixes .

suT' of non- neuter (are strong).mmmmmmmmm ^ M+ C+ 50

The suT are the first five in list svaujas, from su to auT --

su au jas am au

When these five are after a non- neuter nounbase, they are said to be strong. Example --

zvan- m + am zvan + @strong am →rAjAnam zvAnam "dog"

Rule rAjAnam only works before strong affixes. Here, rule rAjAnam worked because this rule made am into a strong.

Back to strong affixes .

na veti vibhASA PANINIRULES 11044
" optionally" means "or not".mmmmmmmmm ^ M+ C+ 51

Whenever a rule says "optionally", you are free to apply the rule or not.

Example. Rule nRca teaches "optionally replace the R of nRNAm with RR". This means that you may replace or not replace -- nRNAm and nRRNAm are both kosher.

Rules actually use three words for "optionally" -- vibhASA, anyatarasyAm, and vA. All three mean "or not".

KAZIKA na iti pratiSedhaH, vA iti vikalpaH. tayoH pratiSedhavikalpayoH vibhASA iti saMjJA bhavati. itikaraNo 'rthanirdezArthaH. vibhASApradezeSu pratiSedhavikalpAvupatiSThete. tatra pratiSedhena samIkRte viSaye pazcAd vikalpaH pravartate. ubhayatravibhASAH prayojayanti. vibhASA zveH 6-1-30 zuzAva, zizvAya. zuzuvatuH, zizviyatuH. vibhASApradezAH vibhASA zveH 61030 ityevam AdayaH.

Knowing that when pANini made up terms he liked to make them as short as possible, it makes no sense to have three words, vA, vibhASA and anyatarasyAm with exactly the same meaning. Why would the rule ruhaHponyatarasyAm not have been just ruhaHpovA? We have to conclude that pANini considered these three words to mean three different forms of optionality, but later grammarians somehow forgot the nuances. Some people speculate that one of the three terms means options that pANini recomended taking, another options that pANini thought should be better avoided, and the other the ones about which he was truly indifferent. That might be true, but as we say in my country, God knows best.

ig yaNaH samprasAraNam PANINIRULES 11045
stretching means replacing yaN with ik.mmmmmmmmm ^ M+ C+ 52

talkaround. When any other rule says, for instance, " stretch vas' ", this rule says that stretching vas means replacing vas with uas. After we do that change, rule saMprasAraNAcca will replace uas with us. Summarizing the two rules --

" Stretching something means replacing its y v r with i u R, and deleting the next vowel. "

Example.

Rule zvayuva says --

" stretch zvan- "dog" before TA ".

Rules igyaNa and saMprasAraNAcca say --

" stretching zvan- " means " replacing zvan- with zun- ".

Therefore --

zvan- + TA →zvayuva zunA "with a dog"

As in --

Agacchac chunA "he came with his dog"

Similarly, stretching yaj we get ij, and stretching pracch we get pRcch. See vacisvapi, zvayuva and grahijyA for more examples.

Tit kit add at start end.mmmmmmmmm ^ M- C+ 53

This talkaround explains the meaning of labels T and k in a certain class of affixes called Agama or augments, such as aT muk tuk suT nuT, that have label k or T.

The affixes that have label T, such as aT and nuT, are added in front of things.

The affixes that have label k, such as muk and tuk, are added after things.

(For the affixes that have label m, see next rule.)

Examples with T label.

Rule luGlaG teaches that sometimes we must replace kSip with aT.

This means that we must add a in front of kSip to make akSip.

Rule ArdhadhAtukasyeD valAdeH says literally that sometimes we must replace a soft like san with iT.

This means we must add i in front of san, getting iSan.

Examples with k label.

Rule Anemuk "root to muk before Ana" teaches that sometimes we must replace dRzya with m(uk).

This means that we must add m after dRzya to make dRzyam.

Rule bhiyo hetubhaye Suk says literally "replace bhI with S(uk)".

This means "add S at the end of bhI" and makes bhIS.

mid aco 'ntyAt paraH PANINIRULES 11047
mit add after last vowelmmmmmmmmm ^ M+ C+ 54

mit is m + it, therefore it means "whatever has label m" (see labels).

For instance, num, znam, and the i(m) mentioned in tRNaha::im are all mit affixes, or mitaugments (in Sanskrit: mid-Agama).

This rule explains that the mit affixes are added after the last vowel of whatever they are added to.

For instance,

"im" means "an i added after the last vowel".

Therefore, when a rule teaches

"tRnah gets im",

that's just short for

"add i after the last vowel of tRnah",

or for

"replace tRnah with tRna + i + h".

(Of course, after doing that replacement, AdguNaH will work and we'll have tRneH, which will thenget Natvam.)

More examples --

Rule nonfunny teaches that phala- and manas get n(um) before zi. So we add n after the last vowel of these --

phala- + zi →nonfunny phala- + num + i phalan + i →rAjAnam phalAni "results"

manas- + zi →nonfunny manas- + num + i manans + i →sAntama manAnsi →nazcA manAMsi "minds"

Rule rudhAdibhyaHznam teaches "rudh gets (z)na(m) before laT tip". So, we wedge the na after the u --

rudh + laT tip →rudhAdibhya rudh + znam + tip ru + na + dh + ti ruNaddhi "obstructs"

Rule caturana teaches that anaDuh- gets A(m) before su, and sAvana says that it gets n(um) too. So --

anaDuh- + su →caturana anaDuh + Am' + s anaDu + A + h + s →ikoyaNaci anaDvAh + s →sAvana anaDvAh + num + s anadvAnhs →halGyA anaDvAnh →saMyogAnta anaDvAn "ox"

This is a talkaround. It means --

" Rules that replace an ec with short actually replace e ai o au with i i u u. "

Example 1:

Rule hrasvaH says: " replace the stammer vowel with short ". Therefore, hrasvaH will replace o au with u and e ai with i --

hu + laT tip →zlau ho + ho + tip →hrasvaH hu + ho + ti →kuhozcuH juhoti "sacrifices"

sev + liT ta → sev + ez →liTidhA se + sev + ez →hrasvaH si + sev + e →kric siSeve "he served"

ji + ji + Nal gai + gai + a →hrasvaH gi + gai + a →kuhozcuH jigai + a →ecoya jigAya "he won"

Example 2:

Rule gostriyoru says: ' replace the o of citrago with short '. So the short will be u --

citra- + go- → citragu- "Mr. Spottedcows"

Example 3:

Rule hrasvonapuMsake says: ' shorten neuter nounbase '. So when rai- is neuter, its ai will shorten into i --

rai @n + su →hrasvonapuMsake ri + s →svamorna ri

rai "wealth" is a masculine usually, but it becomes neuter when the compound ati + rai- "super-rich" agrees with a neuter nounbase, as in --

atiri kulam "super-rich family"

This rule might look useless to you because you know that the only short vowels are a i u R L. Therefore, when a rule says "replace e with short", you might have figured out by yourself that you must replace e with the most-alike of those five, namely with i.

The problem with that reasoning is that it was ME who told you that those five are the only shorts -- pANini did not say that anywhere. Therefore, absent this rule, any rule that teaches "replace ec with short" would have created four new short vowel sounds.
