ā:

d. Final diphthongs pass into a: as, from fe, fer (also परिव्ये, परिव्याय परिवीय) ; from अभिध्यै, अभिध्याय; from अवसो, अवसाय . But from सो with व्यव, व्यवस्य; from आहे, आहूय.

e. A penultimate nasal is generally rejected; as, from samāsanj, samāsajya; from pramanth, pramathya (used adverbially, "violently ''); but from आशक, आशक्य; from चालिङ्ग, आलिङ्ग्य ·

f. If a root end in a consonant the general rule is, that no change takes place; as, from nikship, nikshipya; from prūp (pra and up), prāpya; from viksh (vi and iksh), vikshya.

g. But some roots ending in am and an may optionally reject the nasal, and interpose between short a and ya; as, from nirgam, nirgatya or nirgamya; from nihan, nihatya. Jan and khan instead of interposing t, lengthen the a; as, from utkhan, utkhāya.

h. The changes which take place in certain roots before the y of the passive (p. 90. f.) are preserved before ya; as, from fae, विगृह्य; from आप्रछ्, आपृझ; from āvyadh, āvidhya; from vivas, vyushya. स्फुर् lengthens its vowel before ya ; as, विस्फूर्य .

i. In affixing ya to causal bases the characteristic ay is generally rejected:* as, from prabodhay, prabodhya (ƒ); from way, प्रसार्य; from सन्दर्शय, सन्दर्श्य. 1

Adverbial Indeclinable Participle.

There is another indeclinable participle yielding the same sense as those formed with twā and ya, but of very rare occurrence except in the Bhaṭṭi kavya. It is equivalent to the accusative case of a noun derived from a root, used adverbially; and is formed by adding am to the root, before which affix changes of the radical vowel take place, similar to those required before the causal affix ay (p. 86. c.). Thus, from ni, "to lead," nāyam, "having led"; from pā, "to drink," pāyam, "having drunk"; from hwe, hwayam; from pach, pācham; from kship, kshepam; from han, "to kill," ghātam. It often occupies the last place in a compound; as in

* It is retained in some few instances; as, far, “having calculated"; आकलय्य, “ having imagined "; सङ्कथय्य, “having narrated.”

There are one or two instances of compounded roots formed with twā; as, (from ), Rām. 1. 2. 20. Especially in the case of causals, as faqafur.

U

the expression, "having totally exterminated"; and in the following passage from Bhatti :

लतानुपातं कुसुमान्यगृह्णात् स नद्यवस्कन्दमुपास्पृशच्च

कुतूहलाच्चारुशिलोपवेशं काकुत्स्थ ईषत्स्मयमान आस्त

"The descendant of Kakutstha, smiling softly, repeatedly bending down the creepers, would pluck the blossoms; descending to the streams, would sip (the waters); seating himself on some variegated rock, would recline in admiration (of the scene)."

These participles generally imply repetition of the action, as in the passage above, and in this sense are themselves often repeated; as, dāyam, dāyam, “having repeatedly given."

FUTURE PASSIVE PARTICIPLES.

129. These are amongst the most common and useful of all participles, and may be classed under three heads: 1st, as formed with the affix tavya; 2dly, as formed with aniya; 3dly, as formed with ч ya. These affixes yield a sense corresponding to the Latin dus and the English able and ible, and most commonly denote obligation or propriety and fitness. Thus, from bhuj, “to eat," bhoktavya, or bhojaniya, or bhojya, "edible," "eatable," "that ought to be eaten "; from vach, "to speak," vaktavya, or vachaniya, or vāchya, "to be spoken," "dicendus." They sometimes denote simple futurity; as,, "about to be eaten ": and as the passive past participle supplies the place of a past tense, so the future passive participle may supply the place of a future tense passive; as in the following sentence, यदि पक्षी पतति तदा मया खादितव्यः, “If the bird falls, then it shall be eaten by me.'

[ocr errors]

Formation of Future Passive Participles with the affix tavya. a. These are formed by substituting tavya for ta, the termination of the 3d pers. sing. of the 1st future. Thus, from ksheptā, “he will throw," ksheptavya, “to be thrown"; kartā, "he will do," kartavya, "to be done"; from bhavita, "he will be," bhavitavya, "about to be." And in the case of roots ending in consonants rejecting i, whatever changes take place before tu, the same take place before tavya (see p. 80.); thus, tyaktā, tyaktavya (relinquendus); er, e; e, ; boddha, boldhavya; dagdhā, dagdhavya, &c.

Formation of Future Passive Participles with the affix

aniya.

b. This affix is added directly to the root, without any other change than the Guna of the radical vowel. Thus, from fa chi, chayaniya, “to be gathered "; from bhū, bhava

"to gather,"
niya; from, करणीय (r. 21.);
from स्पृश्, स्पर्शनीय; from कृष्
is changed to ā; as, from ,

from लिख्, लेखनीय; from शुघ्, शोधनीय ; कर्षणीय ( r. 21.). A final diphthong

; from Я, mia.

Formation of Future Passive Participles with the affix ya. c. Before this affix, as before all others beginning with y, certain changes of final vowels become necessary. If a root end in ā, or in e, ai, o, changeable to ā, this vowel becomes e (cf. p. 85. a.); as, from mā,“ to measure," meya, "to be measured," "measurable"; from ha, heya; from dhyai, dhyeya, &c.

d. If in i, i, u, or u, these vowels take Guna; as, from chi, cheya. But the Guna o is changed to ar, and sometimes e to ay, before ya (as if before a vowel): thus, from bhu, bhavya; from ji, "to conquer," jayya. The Guna o, however, oftener passes into āv before y; as, from,; from plu, plāvya.

कार्य्य.

e. If in ri or ri these vowels take Vriddhi; as, from, aù. f. Sometimes if a root end in a short vowel no change takes place, but t is interposed, after the analogy of the indeclinable participle formed with ya (p. 144. a.), so that the crude of the future participle is not distinguishable from the indeclinable, except by the absence of a preposition. Thus, from ji, jitya, "conquerable"; from stu, stutya, "laudable"; from kri, kritya, “practicable.”

g. If a root end in a single consonant with a medial a, Vriddhi sometimes takes place; as, from grah, grāhya: but not always; as, from shak, shakya; from sah, sahya; from badh, badhya; and rarely if the final is a labial; as, from gam, gamya; from labh, labhya.

h. If with a medial i or u, Guna generally takes place; as, from bhuj, bhojya; from lih, lehya.

π, 3.

i. If with a medial ri, no change takes place; as, from j. A final ch may be changed to k, and j to g; and other changes may take place, some of which are similar to those before the of passives; as, from pach, pūkya; from rach, rakya; from bhuj,

y

bhogya; from grah, grihya, as well as grāhya; from vad, ūdya; from yaj, ijya; from shūs, shiṣhya (p. 90. d. f.); from khan, kheya.

k. Many of these latter are used as substantives, and there are other examples of substantives formed with this affix; as, (fem.), “a wife," from, "to support," &c.

Declension of Future Passive Participles.

Si

They are all declined like nouns of the first class, pp. 31, 32. Thus, kartavya; nom. m. f. n. kartavyah, kartavyā, kartavyam. milarly, karaniya and kārya.

PARTICIPLES OF THE SECOND FUTURE.

Formation of the Crude.

130. These are not very common. They are of two kinds, either as belonging to the parasmaipada, or to the ātmanepada; the former being formed by changing anti, the termination of the 3d plur. of the 2d fut., into at; the latter by changing ante into amāna. Thus, from karishyanti and karishyante, "they will do," karishyat and kariṣhyamāņa (fun afwa), “about to do"; from the passive 2d fut. vakshyante, "they will be said," vakshyamāṇa, "about to be said."

These participles, in the mode of their formation from the 3d pers. plur., by the affixes at and amāna, resemble present participles, r. 123.

Declension of Participles of the Second Future.

a. Their declension also conforms to that of present participles. Those of the parasmaipada are declined according to p. 136. b., and those of the atmanepada according to p. 137. b.

PARTICIPIAL NOUNS OF AGENCY.

131. These have been already incidentally noticed in Chap. III. As, however, they partake of the nature of participles, and are of great practical utility, some further mention of them is necessary in the present chapter. They may be classed under three heads; 1st, as formed from the root; 2dly, as formed from the 1st future; 3dly, as formed from the causal base.

1. The crude of the first class is formed from the root by affixing a, before which Guna, and rarely Vriddhi, of a final vowel is required; as, from ji, "to conquer," jaya (4), “conquering.” Medial vowels are generally unchanged; as, from vad, “to say," vada, “saying"; from tud, “to vex," tuda, “vexing": and final ā, am, or an, are dropped; as, from dū, “to give,” da (₹), “giving”; from gam, "to go," ga (n), “going"; from jan, “to be born," ja, "being born" (see their declension, r. 38. 1. and p. 31.). These nouns of agency are constantly used in poetry as a substitute for the present participle,* sometimes governing the same case as this participle, but always united with the word which they govern in one compound; thus, puranjaya (g), "city-conquering”; priyamvada (f), "speaking kind words"; jalechara ()“going in the water"; sarasija, “lake-born." The word which they govern often remains in the crude form; as, from tejas and kri, tejaskara, “light-making" (s remaining unchanged, in violation of r. 29.); from manas and hṛi, manohara, “mind-captivating" (r. 29.); from bahu and du, bahuda, "giving much"; from and, ,"self-knowing."

2. The crude of the second class is formed from the 3d pers. sing. of the 1st future of primitive verbs, by substituting the vowel

66

ri for the final vowel ā, the nominative case being therefore identical with the 3d pers. sing. of that tense (see p. 77. r. 100. p. 37. and r. 41.), Thus, from bhoktā, "he will eat," bhoktri, an eater" (nom. bhoktā); from , "he will fight," , “a fighter"; from yāchitā, yāchitṛi; from a,, &c. This noun of agency is sometimes, but rarely, found as a participle governing the case of the verb; as, “speaking a speech" (Draupadīharaṇam, 32.); ni, "bearing the Ganges" (Ratnavali, p. 1.). वोढा बहुमार्गगां,

3. The crude of the third class is formed in three ways.

a. By adding in to the root, before which affix changes take place similar to those required before the causal affix ay (r. 107. c. d.); as, from kri, kārin (af), “a doer"; from han, ghōtin, “a killer"; from shi, shāyin, “a sleeper": y being inserted after roots

* Implying, however, habitual action, and therefore something more than present time.
