Instrumental Case after the Verb.

193. Any verb may be joined with the instrumental, to express the instrument, or cause, or manner of the action; as, goi anda mufa, "the flower fades by reason of the wind"; : sfa, "he plays with dice"; मेघो ग्निं वर्षेर् निर्वापयति, “ the cloud puts out the fire with its rain"; gaf, "he lives happily.”

66

a. In this sense many causals take an instrumental; as, i fez siserata, "he caused her to eat sweet-meats."

But in this sense is usually placed after it. »num सङ्गच्छति, “the husband meets the wife "; संयोजयति रथं हयैः, “he harnesses the horses to the chariot; za faysun, “he is separated from the body,” more usually with the ablative युध्यते शत्रुभि:, “he fights his enemies,” or शत्रुभि: सह .

Dative after the Verb.

194. All verbs in which a sense of imparting or communicating any thing to any object is inherent, may take an accusative of the thing imparted, and a dative of the object to which it is imparted. (Frequently, however, they take a genitive or even a locative of the object). gar alçaq ççıfa, “he gives sweetmeats to his son "; विप्राय गां प्रतिशृणोति, “ he promises a cow to the Brahman"; देवदत्ताय धनं धारयति, “he owes money to Devadatta "; कन्यां तस्मै प्रतिपादय, "consign the maiden to him," more usually with the locative.

66

Ablative after the Verb.

object from which

वृक्षात्

पत्रं,

195. All verbs may take an ablative of the any thing proceeds, or arises, or is produced; as, gufa qan qi, "the leaf falls from the tree "; zfvi wafa menn, "blood flows from the body"; fagfa, "he rises from his seat "; af: कुरुते यद्यद् इच्छति, “ from the lump of clay the artist makes whatever he wishes" (p. 152. a.); fa fa qani, “from education a person attains capacity"; fa," he went out from the city.”

Genitive after the Verb.

*

196. The genitive, in Sanscrit, is constantly interchangeable with the dative, locative, or even accusative." It is more especially, however, used to supply the place of the first of these cases, so that almost all verbs may take a genitive as well as dative of the object to which any thing is imparted. For example, eft v दरिद्रस्य धनं fa, "he gives money to the poor." It may be used for the locative after verbs of "consigning"; as, fan anqufa, “he deposits a pledge with me ": or, of "trusting "; as, a afan Qui ,"nobody puts trust in women "; and for the accusative, in examples such as, अचिन्तितानि दुःखानि यान्ति देहिनां, “ unexpected ills come upon corporeal beings."

66

66

a. Other examples are: अजानताम् अस्माकं ख्यापय कस्य असि भाय्या, “ tell us who are ignorant of it, whose wife you are ?" कस्य (for कश्मात् ) बिभ्यति धार्मिकाः, “ of whom are the righteous afraid ?” यद् अन्यस्य प्रतिजानीते न तद् अन्यस्य दद्यात्, one should not give to one what one promises to another,"; ¤ a quifa, “he does not hear me" (cf. the Greek usage); :, “remember me,” or with the accusative. अस्माकं मृत्युः प्रभवति, “death

overcomes us"; अग्निर् न तृप्यति

, “fire is not satisfied with fuel"; hai :, “forgive them.”

Locative after the Verb.

197. This case is very widely applicable, but, as elsewhere remarked, is frequently interchangeable with the dative and genitive. The first sense of the locative requires that it should be united with verbs, in reference only to the place or time in which any thing is done ; as, पक्के मज्जति, “he sinks in the mud "; पुरे वसति, “he dwells in the city"; af fagfa, "he stands in the front of the तिष्ठति, fight"; dugu, "at sun-rise he awakes." प्रबुध्यते, But the transi

tion from the place to the object, or recipient of any action, is

* This vague use of the genitive to express various relations prevails also in early Greek."

66

natural, and hence it is that verbs are found with the locative of the object to which any thing is imparted or communicated, as in the following examples: मा प्रयछ ईश्वरे धनं, “ bestow not money on the mighty ''; तस्मिन् कार्य्याणि निक्षिपामि, “ I intrust my affairs to him"; पुत्रे अङ्गुरीयकं समर्पयति, “he consigns a ring to his son"; योग्ये सचिवे न्यस्यति राज्यभारं, “he intrusts the burthen of the kingdom to a capable minister"; fa, "one should place (bury) a dead

man in the ground";

In this sense is used; as,

66

fa," he applies his mind to virtue.”

“he placed the wood on his back"; af raf, "he applies his mind to sin."

a. When दा, "to give," is used for "to put," it follows the same analogy; as, तस्य पुच्छामे हस्तं देहि, “put your hand on the end of its tail;” भस्मचये पदं ददौ, "he placed his foot on a heap of ashes." Similarly, fr, "he was held by the skirt of his garment.” So also verbs of "seizing," "striking," केशेषु गृह्णाति or आकृषति, “he seizes or drags him by the hair"; सुभे प्रहरति, "he strikes a sleeping man."

66

b. Other examples are, fa, "he is engaged in a very severe penance"; पर कार्य्येपु मा व्यापृतो भूः, “ do not busy yourself about other people's affairs"; विषयेषु सज्यते, “ he is addicted to objects of sense"; सर्व्व.लोकहिते रमते, “ he delights in the good of all the world"; दुर्गाधिकारे नियुज्यते, “he is appointed to the command of the fort"; द्वौ वृषभौ घुरि नियोजयत, “he yokes two bulls to the pole"; सैनापत्ये अभिषिच मां, “anoint me to the generalship"; यतते पापनिमहे, "he strives to suppress evil-doers."

c. न महिधे युज्यते वाक्यम् ईदृशं, “such language is not suited to a person like me ”; प्रभुत्वं त्वयि प्रयुज्यते, “ sovereignty is suited to you"; आसने उपाविशत्, “he reclined on a seat"; वृष्याम् आसस्व, "sit thou on a cushion"; y fafafa, “ he confides in his enemies"; चरणयोः पतति, “ it falls at his feet"; लुठति पादेषु,

"it rolls at the feet."

Change of Case after the same Verb.

198. This sometimes occurs; as, विधुरो धृतराष्ट्राय कुन्ती च गान्धायाः सर्व्वं न्यवेदयेतां, ni, “Vidhura and Kunti announced every thing, the one to Dhritarashtra, the other to Gandhāri" (Astrashiksha 34. Ed. Prof. Johnson), where the same verb governs a dative and genitive. Similarly, in the Mitralabha (p. 10.), fui विश्वासो न कर्तव्यः स्त्रीषु च, “confidence is not to be placed in horned animals or

women."
