6. Ākhyātakaṇḍa (Verb section): Bhūvādigaṇa: Vibhattividhāna (The bhū class: the endings) (424–475)

Atha ākhyātavibhattiyo kriyāvācīhi dhātūhi parā vuccante.

Now the verbal inflections (ākhyātavibhatti), which come after the roots that express action, are stated.

Tattha kriyaṃ ācikkhatīti ākhyātaṃ, kriyāpadaṃ. Vuttañhi ‘‘kālakārakapurisaparidīpakaṃ kriyālakkhaṇamākhyātika’’nti. Tattha kālo ti atītādayo, kāraka miti kammakattubhāvā, purisā ti paṭhamamajjhimuttamā, kriyā ti gamanapacanādiko dhātvattho, kriyālakkhaṇaṃ saññāṇaṃ etassāti kriyālakkhaṇaṃ, atiliṅgañca.

Here the ākhyāta (verb) is so called because it declares (ācikkhati) an action: it is the action-word (kriyāpada). For it is said: “The verbal word is that which has action as its mark and which brings to light time, kāraka and person.” There “time” means the past and the rest; “kāraka” means the object, the agent and the bare action (kamma, kattā, bhāva); “persons” means the first, the middle and the highest; “action” means the meaning of a root, such as going or cooking; “having action as its mark” means that action is its distinguishing sign (saññāṇa); and it is beyond gender (atiliṅga).

Vuttampi cetaṃ –

And this too has been said:

‘‘Yaṃ tikālaṃ tipurisaṃ, kriyāvāci tikārakaṃ;
Atiliṅgaṃ dvivacanaṃ, tadākhyātanti vuccatī’’ti.

That which has three times and three persons, expresses action and has three kāraka;
which is beyond gender and has two numbers — that is called ākhyāta.

Kālādivasena dhātvatthaṃ vibhajantīti vibhattiyo, tyādayo, tā pana vattamānā pañcamī sattamī parokkhāhiyyattanī ajjatanī bhavissantī kālātipatti cāti aṭṭhavidhā bhavanti.

They are called vibhatti (inflections) because they divide up (vibhajanti) the meaning of the root according to time and the rest: ti and the others. And they are of eight kinds: vattamānā, pañcamī, sattamī, parokkhā, hiyyattanī, ajjatanī, bhavissantī and kālātipatti.

Kriyaṃ dhārentīti dhātavo, bhūvādayo, khādidhātuppaccayantā ca, te pana atthavasā dvidhā bhavanti sakammakā, akammakā cāti. Tatra sakammakā ye dhātavokammāpekkhaṃ kriyaṃ vadanti, yathā – kaṭaṃ karoti, gāmaṃ gacchati, odanaṃ pacatītiādayo, akammakā ye kammanirapekkhaṃ kriyaṃ vadanti, yathā – acchati, seti, tiṭṭhatītiādayo.

They are called dhātu (roots) because they bear (dhārenti) an action: bhū and the rest, and also those that end in the root-suffixes kha and the like. And by their meaning they are of two kinds: transitive (sakammaka, “having an object”) and intransitive (akammaka). Of these the transitive are the roots that express an action which looks to an object, as kaṭaṃ karoti (he makes a mat), gāmaṃ gacchati (he goes to the village), odanaṃ pacati (he cooks rice) and the like; the intransitive are those that express an action independent of an object, as acchati (he sits), seti (he lies), tiṭṭhati (he stands) and the like.

Te pana sattavidhā bhavanti vikaraṇappaccayabhedena, kathaṃ? A vikaraṇā bhūvādayo. Niggahītapubbakaa vikaraṇā rudhādayo, ya vikaraṇā divādayo, ṇuṇā uṇā vikaraṇā svādayo, nāppaṇhā vikaraṇā kiyādayo, oyira vikaraṇā tanādayo, sakatthe ṇe ṇaya ntā curādayoti.

They are further of seven kinds, by the difference of their class suffix (vikaraṇapaccaya). How? bhū and the rest have the class suffix a; rudha and the rest have a preceded by a niggahīta; divu and the rest have ya; su and the rest have ṇu, ṇā and uṇā; kī and the rest have nā, ppa and ṇhā; tanu and the rest have o and yira; cura and the rest end in ṇe and ṇaya in the root’s own sense.

class class suffix rule
bhūvādi a 433 (§445): Bhūvādito a
rudhādi a, with a niggahīta before the root’s final 509 (§446): Rudhādito niggahītapubbañca
divādi ya 510 (§447): Divādito yo
svādi ṇu, ṇā, uṇā 512 (§448): Svādito ṇuṇāuṇā ca
kiyādi nā, ppa, ṇhā 513 (§449): Kiyādito nā, 517 (§450): Gahāditoppaṇhā
tanādi o, yira 520 (§451): Tanādito oyirā
curādi ṇe, ṇaya 525 (§452): Curādito ṇeṇayā

Kaccāyana counts eight classes (§445 (433): Bhūvādito a to §452 (525): Curādito, ṇe ṇayā); Buddhappiya folds the gaha class, whose suffixes are ppa and ṇhā, into the kī class, and so has seven. The order of his chapter follows this list: the endings and the whole conjugation on the bhū class first (424–508), then each of the other classes with its model root.

Tattha paṭhamaṃ a vikaraṇesu bhūvādīsu dhātūsu paṭhamabhūtā akammakā bhū iccetasmā dhātuto tyā dayo parā yojīyante.

Among these, first, the inflections ti and the rest are added after the intransitive root bhū, which stands first among the roots of the bhū class, whose class suffix is a.

Bhū sattāyaṃ, ‘‘bhū’’iccayaṃ dhātu sattāyamatthe vattate, kriyāsāmaññabhūte bhavane vattateti attho.

“bhū in the sense of being” [says the root-list]: the root bhū is used in the sense of being (sattā), that is, it is used for being (bhavana), which is action in general.

‘‘Bhū’’iti ṭhite –

When bhū stands [ready for derivation] —


424 (§457): Bhūvādayo dhātavo (bhū and the rest are dhātu, roots) anvattha

Section titled “424 (§457): Bhūvādayo dhātavo (bhū and the rest are dhātu, roots) anvattha ”

Bhū iccevamādayo ye kriyāvācino saddagaṇā, te dhātu saññā honti. Bhū ādi yesaṃ te bhūvādayo, atha vā bhūvā ādī pakārā yesaṃ te bhūvādayo.

Those groups of words that express action and begin with bhū receive the name dhātu (root). bhūvādayo means those of which bhū is the first; or else those whose types (pakāra) are bhū and vā and the like.

Bhūvādīsu vakāroyaṃ, ñeyyo āgamasandhijo;
Bhūvāppakārā vā dhātū, sakammākammakatthato.

In bhūvādi this v is to be known as born of sandhi by augment;
or else the roots are of the types bhū and vā, by the sense of the transitive and the intransitive.

‘‘Kvaci dhātū’’tiādito ‘‘kvacī’’ti vattate.

From 488 (§517): Kvaci dhātuvibhattippaccayānaṃ dīghaviparītādesalopāgamā ca the word kvaci (sometimes) continues.


425 (§521): Dhātussanto loponekassarassa (the final of a polysyllabic root is elided) apavada

Section titled “425 (§521): Dhātussanto loponekassarassa (the final of a polysyllabic root is elided) apavada ”

Anekassarassa dhātussa anto kvaci lopo hoti.

The final of a root that has more than one vowel is sometimes (kvaci) elided.

Kvaci ggahaṇaṃ ‘‘mahīyati samatho’’tiādīsu nivattanatthaṃ, iti anekassarattābhāvā idha dhātvantalopo na hoti.

The word kvaci is for excluding [the elision] in mahīyati (“he is honoured”), samatho (“calm”) and the like; and so, because [bhū] does not have more than one vowel, the elision of the root’s final does not take place here.

Tato dhātvādhikāravihitānekappaccayappasaṅge ‘‘vatticchānupubbikā saddappaṭipattī’’ti katvā vattamānavacanicchāyaṃ –

Then, when the many suffixes prescribed under the heading dhātu present themselves, taking the maxim “the formation of a word follows the speaker’s intention (vattu-icchā)”, when one wishes to express the present —


426 (§423): Vattamānā tianti, sitha, mima, teante, sevhe, emhe (vattamānā: the twelve endings of the present) anvattha

Section titled “426 (§423): Vattamānā tianti, sitha, mima, teante, sevhe, emhe (vattamānā: the twelve endings of the present) anvattha ”

Tyā dayo dvādasa vattamānāsaññā hontīti tyādīnaṃ vattamānatthavisayattā vattamānā saññā.

The twelve [endings] ti and the rest receive the name vattamānā; because their domain is the sense of the present (vattamāna), ti and the rest are named vattamānā.


427 (§413): Kāle (kāle, “in [the sense of] time”: a governing heading) sīhagatika

Section titled “427 (§413): Kāle (kāle, “in [the sense of] time”: a governing heading) sīhagatika ”

Ayamadhikāro.

This is a governing rule (adhikāra).

Ito paraṃ tyā divibhattividhāne sabbattha vattate.

From here on it applies throughout the prescription of the inflections ti and the rest.


428 (§414): Vattamānā paccuppanne (The vattamānā in the present) utsarga

Section titled “428 (§414): Vattamānā paccuppanne (The vattamānā in the present) utsarga ”

Paccuppanne kāle gamyamāne vattamānāvibhatti hoti, kālo ti cettha kriyā, karaṇaṃ kāro, ra kārassa la kāro, kālo.

When present time is understood, the vattamānā inflection is used. And here kāla (time) means action: kāra is the doing, and with r become l it is kāla.

Tasmā –

Therefore:

Kriyāya gamyamānāya, vibhattīnaṃ vidhānato;
Dhātūheva bhavantīti, siddhaṃ tyādivibhattiyo.

Because the inflections are prescribed when an action is understood,
it is established that the inflections ti and the rest arise from roots alone.

Idha pana kālassa atītānāgatapaccuppannāṇattiparikappakālātipattivasena1 chadhā bhinnattā ‘‘paccuppanne’’ti viseseti. Taṃ taṃ kāraṇaṃ paṭicca uppanno paccuppanno, paṭiladdhasabhāvo, na tāva atītoti attho.

But here, since time is divided sixfold — past, future, present, command, supposition and lapse of time — he specifies “in the present”. paccuppanna (present) is what has arisen (uppanna) in dependence on (paṭicca) this or that cause: what has gained its own nature and is not yet past.

Paccuppannasamīpepi, tabbohārūpacārato;
Vattamānā atītepi, taṃkālavacanicchayāti.

For what is near the present too, by a figurative extension of that usage,
and for the past too, the vattamānā [is used], when one wishes to speak of it as of that time.

Tasmiṃ paccuppanne vattamānāvibhattiṃ katvā, tassā ṭhānāniyame ‘‘dhātuliṅgehi parā paccayā’’ti paribhāsato dhātuto paraṃ vattamānappaccaye katvā, tesamaniyamappasaṅgesati ‘‘vatticchānupubbikā saddappaṭipattī’’ti parassapadavacanicchāyaṃ –

Having applied the vattamānā inflection in that present sense; since its position is not fixed, having placed the vattamānā suffix after the root by the interpretive rule 362 (§432): Dhātuliṅgehi parā paccayā (“suffixes come after roots and lemmas”); and since these present themselves without restriction, taking the maxim “the formation of a word follows the speaker’s intention”, when one wishes to express the parassapada —


429 (§406): Atha pubbāni vibhattīnaṃ cha parassapadāni (Now, the first six of the inflections are parassapada) rūḷhī

Section titled “429 (§406): Atha pubbāni vibhattīnaṃ cha parassapadāni (Now, the first six of the inflections are parassapada) rūḷhī ”

Atha taddhitānantaraṃ vuccamānānaṃ sabbāsaṃ vattamānādīnaṃ aṭṭhavidhānaṃ vibhattīnaṃ yāni yāni pubbakāni cha padāni, tāni tāni atthato aṭṭhacattālīsamattāni parassapada saññāni hontītiādimhi channaṃ parassapadasaññā, parassatthāni padāni parassapadāni, tabbāhullato tabbohāro.

Now (atha), of all the eight kinds of inflection, vattamānā and the rest, which are stated immediately after the taddhita, whichever six words come first [in each set] — in effect forty-eight — receive the name parassapada; so in the first [set] the six are named parassapada. parassapada are “words whose sense is for another” (parassa atthāni padāni); the usage is named from what predominates.

‘‘Dhātūhi ṇe ṇaya’’iccādito ‘‘dhātūhī’’ti vattamāne –

While dhātūhi (“after roots”) continues from 540 (§438): Dhātūhi ṇe ṇaya ṇāpe ṇāpayā kāritāni hetvatthe —


430 (§456): Kattari parassapadaṃ (the parassapada endings in the active) utsarga

Section titled “430 (§456): Kattari parassapadaṃ (the parassapada endings in the active) utsarga ”

Kattari kārake abhidheyye sabbadhātūhi parassapadaṃ hotīti parassapadaṃ katvā, tassāpyaniyamappasaṅge vatticchāvasā –

When the kāraka to be expressed is the agent (kattā), after all roots the parassapada [endings] are used. Having thus applied the parassapada, and since it too presents itself without restriction, according to the speaker’s intention —

Vipariṇāmena ‘‘parassapadānaṃ, attanopadāna’’nti ca vattate.

With a change of inflection form, parassapadānaṃ and attanopadānaṃ (“of the parassapada”, “of the attanopada”) also continue.


431 (§408): Dve dve paṭhamamajjhimuttamapurisā (Two by two: first, middle and highest person) anvattha

Section titled “431 (§408): Dve dve paṭhamamajjhimuttamapurisā (Two by two: first, middle and highest person) anvattha ”

Tāsaṃ vibhattīnaṃ parassapadāna’mattanopadānañca dve dve vacanāni yathākkamaṃ paṭhamamajjhimuttamapurisa saññāni honti. Taṃ yathā? Ti anti iti paṭhamapurisā, si tha iti majjhimapurisā, mi ma iti uttamapurisā. Attanopadesupi te ante iti paṭhamapurisā, se vhe iti majjhimapurisā, e mhe iti uttamapurisā. Evaṃ sesāsu sattasu vibhattīsupi yojetabbanti. Evaṃ aṭṭhavibhattivasena channavutividhe ākhyātapade dvattiṃsa dvattiṃsa paṭhamamajjhimauttamapurisā hontīti vattamānaparassapadādimhi dvinnaṃ paṭhamapurisasaññā.

Of those inflections, both parassapada and attanopada, the words two by two receive in order the names first person (paṭhamapurisa), middle person (majjhimapurisa) and highest person (uttamapurisa). How so? ti, anti are the first person; si, tha the middle person; mi, ma the highest person. Among the attanopada too, te, ante are the first person, se, vhe the middle person, e, mhe the highest person. The same is to be applied in the remaining seven inflections too. Thus in the verbal word, which is of ninety-six kinds by way of the eight inflections, there are thirty-two first persons, thirty-two middle persons and thirty-two highest persons. Hence in the first [set], the vattamānā parassapada, the two are named first person.


432 (§410): Nāmamhi payujjamānepitulyādhikaraṇe paṭhamo (With a co-referent noun, expressed or not: the first person) utsarga

Section titled “432 (§410): Nāmamhi payujjamānepitulyādhikaraṇe paṭhamo (With a co-referent noun, expressed or not: the first person) utsarga ”

Tumhāmha saddavajjite tulyādhikaraṇabhūte sādhakavācake nāmamhi payujjamānepi appayujjamānepi dhātūhi paṭhamapuriso hotīti paṭhamapurisaṃ katvā, tassāpyaniyamappasaṅge kriyāsādhakassa kattuno ekatte vattumicchite ‘‘ekamhi vattabbe ekavacana’’nti vattamānaparassapadapaṭhamapurisekavacanaṃ ti.

When a noun other than the words tumha and amha, of the same reference [as the verb] and expressing the accomplisher of the action2, is used or is not used, the first person is used after roots. Having thus applied the first person, and since it too presents itself without restriction, when one wishes to speak of the agent, the accomplisher of the action, as one, by [the maxim] “when one is to be expressed, the singular” [the ending is] ti, the vattamānā parassapada first person singular.

‘‘Paro, paccayo, dhātū’’ti ca adhikāro, ‘‘tathā3 kattari cā’’ti ito ‘‘kattarī’’ti vikaraṇappaccayavidhāne sabbattha vattate.

paro, paccayo and dhātu (“after”, “suffix”, “root”) are also a governing rule (adhikāra); and from 511 (§444): Tathā kattari ca kattari (“in the active”) continues throughout the prescription of the class suffixes (vikaraṇa).


433 (§445): Bhūvādito a (a after the bhū class [in the active]) apavada

Section titled “433 (§445): Bhūvādito a (a after the bhū class [in the active]) apavada ”

Bhū iccevamādito dhātugaṇato paro a paccayo hoti kattari vihitesu vibhattippaccayesu paresu. Sabbadhātukamhiyevāyamissate.

After the root-group beginning with bhū, the suffix a is added when the inflection-suffixes prescribed in the active follow. This [suffix] is wanted only before a sabbadhātuka [inflection].

‘‘Asaṃyogantassa, vuddhī’’ti ca vattate.

asaṃyogantassa and vuddhi (“of [a root] not ending in a conjunct”, “strengthening”) also continue.


434 (§485): Aññesu ca (and before the other suffixes) utsarga

Section titled “434 (§485): Aññesu ca (and before the other suffixes) utsarga ”

Kāritato aññesu paccayesu asaṃyogantānaṃ dhātūnaṃ vuddhi hoti. Ca ggahaṇena ṇu ppaccayassāpi vuddhi hoti. Ettha ca ‘‘ghaṭādīnaṃ vā’’ti ito vā saddo anuvattetabbo, so ca vavatthitavibhāsattho. Tena –

Before suffixes other than the causative (kārita), roots that do not end in a conjunct consonant take vuddhi (strengthening). By the word ca, the suffix ṇu too takes vuddhi. And here the word vā is to be carried over from 542 (§484): Ghaṭādīnaṃ vā, and it has the sense of a vavatthitavibhāsā (restricted option). Hence:

Ivaṇṇuvaṇṇantānañca, lahūpantāna dhātunaṃ;
Ivaṇṇuvaṇṇānameva, vuddhi hoti parassa na.

For roots ending in an i- or u-vowel, and for roots whose penult is light,
vuddhi is of the i- and u-vowels only, not of any other [vowel].

Yuvaṇṇānampi ya ṇu ṇā-nāniṭṭhādīsu vuddhi na;
Tudādissāvikaraṇe, na chetvādīsu vā siyā.

Even of the i- and u-vowels there is no vuddhi before ya, ṇu, ṇā, nā, the niṭṭhā [suffixes] and the like,
nor of the tuda group before the class suffix a; and in chetvā and the like it may or may not be.

Tassāpyaniyamappasaṅge – ‘‘ayuvaṇṇānañcāyo vuddhī’’ti paribhāsato ū kārasso kāro vuddhi.

And since this [strengthening] too presents itself without specification, by the interpretive rule 365 (§405): Ayuvaṇṇānañcāyo vuddhī the vuddhi of ū is o.

Vipariṇāmena ‘‘dhātūna’’nti vattate.

With a change of inflection form, dhātūnaṃ (“of roots”) continues.


435 (§513): O ava sare (a root-final o becomes ava before a vowel) utsarga

Section titled “435 (§513): O ava sare (a root-final o becomes ava before a vowel) utsarga ”

O kārassa dhātvantassa sare pare avā deso hoti. ‘‘Saralopo mādesa’’iccādinā saralopādimhi kate ‘‘naye paraṃ yutte’’ti paranayanaṃ kātabbaṃ.

The root-final o is replaced by ava when a vowel follows. When the elision of the vowel and the rest has been carried out by 67 (§83): Saralopo’mādesappaccayādimhi saralope tu pakati and the like, the joining with the following [letter] is to be done by 14 (§11): Naye paraṃ yutte.

So puriso sādhu bhavati, sā kaññā sādhu bhavati, taṃ cittaṃ sādhu bhavati.

so puriso sādhu bhavati (that man is good), sā kaññā sādhu bhavati (that girl is good), taṃ cittaṃ sādhu bhavati (that mind is good).

Ettha hi –

For here:

Kattunobhihitattāva, ākhyātena na kattari;
Tatiyā paṭhamā hoti, liṅgatthaṃ panapekkhiya.

Just because the agent is expressed by the verb, the third form ③ is not used for the agent;
but the first form ① is used, with regard to the bare meaning of the lemma.

Satipi kriyāyekatte kattūnaṃ bahuttā ‘‘bahumhi vattabbe bahuvacana’’nti vattamānaparassapadapaṭhamapurisabahuvacanaṃ anti, pure viya appaccayavuddhiavādesā, saralopādi. Te purisā bhavanti, appayujjamānepi bhavati, bhavanti.

Although the action is one, because the agents are many, by [the maxim] “when many are to be expressed, the plural” [the ending is] anti, the vattamānā parassapada first person plural; the suffix a, vuddhi and the replacement ava are as before, then the elision of the vowel and the rest: te purisā bhavanti (those men are). And when [the noun] is not expressed: bhavati, bhavanti.

‘‘Payujjamānepi, tulyādhikaraṇe’’ti ca vattate.

payujjamānepi and tulyādhikaraṇe (“even when [the noun] is used”, “of the same reference”) also continue.


436 (§411): Tumhe majjhimo (With tumha: the middle person) apavada

Section titled “436 (§411): Tumhe majjhimo (With tumha: the middle person) apavada ”

Tulyādhikaraṇabhūte tumha sadde payujjamānepi appayujjamānepi dhātūhi majjhima puriso hotīti vattamānaparassapadamajjhimapurisekavacanaṃsi, sesaṃ purimasamaṃ. Tvaṃ bhavasi, tumhe bhavatha, appayujjamānepi bhavasi, bhavatha.

When the word tumha, of the same reference [as the verb], is used or is not used, the middle person is used after roots; so [the ending is] si, the vattamānā parassapada middle person singular, and the rest is as before: tvaṃ bhavasi (you are), tumhe bhavatha (you [all] are); and when [the pronoun] is not expressed, bhavasi, bhavatha.

Tulyādhikaraṇe ti kimatthaṃ? Tayā paccate odano.

What is tulyādhikaraṇe (of the same reference) for? tayā paccate odano (the rice is cooked by you).

Tasmiṃyevādhikāre –

Under that same heading —


437 (§412): Amhe uttamo (With amha: the highest person) apavada

Section titled “437 (§412): Amhe uttamo (With amha: the highest person) apavada ”

Tulyādhikaraṇabhūte amha sadde payujjamānepi appayujjamānepi dhātūhi uttama puriso hotīti vattamānaparassapadauttamapurisekavacanaṃ mi, a ppaccayavuddhiavā desā.

When the word amha, of the same reference [as the verb], is used or is not used, the highest person is used after roots; so [the ending is] mi, the vattamānā parassapada highest person singular; the suffix a, vuddhi and the replacement ava [are as before].


438 (§478): Akāro dīghaṃ himimesu (a is lengthened before hi, mi, ma) utsarga

Section titled “438 (§478): Akāro dīghaṃ himimesu (a is lengthened before hi, mi, ma) utsarga ”

A kāro dīgha māpajjate himima iccetāsu vibhattīsu. Ahaṃ bhavāmi, mayaṃ bhavāma. Bhavāmi, bhavāma.

The a is lengthened before the inflections hi, mi and ma: ahaṃ bhavāmi (I am), mayaṃ bhavāma (we are); [without the pronoun] bhavāmi, bhavāma.

‘‘Vibhattīnaṃ, chā’’ti ca vattate.

vibhattīnaṃ and cha (“of the inflections”, “six”) also continue.


439 (§407): Parāṇyattanopadāni (The latter [six] are attanopada) rūḷhī

Section titled “439 (§407): Parāṇyattanopadāni (The latter [six] are attanopada) rūḷhī ”

Sabbāsaṃ vattamānānaṃ aṭṭhavidhānaṃ vibhattīnaṃ yāni yāni parāni cha padāni, tāni tāni attanopada saññāni hontīti te ādīnaṃ attanopadasaññā.

Of all the eight kinds of inflection, vattamānā [and the rest], whichever six words come last [in each set], those receive the name attanopada; so te and the rest are named attanopada.

‘‘Dhātūhi, attanopadānī’’ti ca vattate.

dhātūhi and attanopadāni (“after roots”, “the attanopada”) also continue.


440 (§454): Kattari ca (and [the attanopada endings] in the active) utsarga

Kattari ca kārake abhidheyye dhātūhi attanopadāni honti. Ca ggahaṇaṃ katthaci nivattanatthaṃ, sesaṃ parassapade vuttanayeneva veditabbaṃ. Bhavate, bhavante, bhavase, bhavavhe, bhave, bhavāmhe.

When the kāraka to be expressed is the agent too, the attanopada endings are used after roots. The word ca is there to exclude [them] in some places (katthaci nivattanatthaṃ); the rest is to be understood just as was said for the parassapada: bhavate, bhavante, bhavase, bhavavhe, bhave, bhavāmhe.

“paca in [the sense of] cooking.” On being named a root, the root’s final is elided; the inflections ti and the rest arise in the way described; the only difference here is the absence of vuddhi, there being no i- or u-vowel: so devadatto odanaṃ pacati (Devadatta cooks the rice), pacanti, pacasi, pacatha, pacāmi, pacāma; so odanaṃ pacate (he cooks the rice), te pacante, tvaṃ pacase, tumhe pacavhe, ahaṃ pace, mayaṃ pacāmhe.

When all [the persons] — first and middle, first and highest, middle and highest, or all three — are to be expressed together, the later person is to be applied. And this [holds] only in expressing [persons] of one time. Where the succession so ca pacati, tvañca pacasi (“he cooks and you cook”) would arise, it becomes tumhe pacatha (“you [two] cook”). Likewise so ca pacati, ahañca pacāmi (“he cooks and I cook”) becomes mayaṃ pacāma (“we cook”); so too tvañca pacasi, ahañca pacāmi (“you cook and I cook”) — mayaṃ pacāma; and so ca pacati, tvañca pacasi, ahañca pacāmi (“he cooks, you cook and I cook”) — mayaṃ pacāma.

What is ekābhidhāne (in one expression) for? In so ca pacati, tvañca pacissasi, ahaṃ paciṃ (“he cooks, you will cook, I cooked”), because the times differ, mayaṃ pacimhā (“we cooked”) does not result.

The final of the root gamu, its m, optionally becomes ccha before all the inflections; by the word sabba (“all”), also before the suffixes māna and anta, ya and the causatives. This word vā has the sense of a vavatthitavibhāsā (restricted option). Hence this [verse]:

Vidhiṃ niccañca vāsaddo, māna’ntesu tu kattari;
Dīpetāniccamaññattha, parokkhāyamasantakaṃ.

The word vā shows the operation as obligatory before māna and anta in the active,
as not obligatory elsewhere, and as absent in the parokkhā.

When the kāraka to be expressed is the bare action (bhāva) or the object (kamma), the attanopada endings are used; by the word ca, also for the object-as-agent (kammakattā). bhāva is being (bhavana): the bare meaning of the root — being, cutting and the like — unmixed with any other kāraka. kamma is what is done (karīyati). Even intransitive roots become transitive when they have a prefix; therefore, in the passive, after the root bhū preceded by anu, [the ending is] te, the vattamānā attanopada first person singular.

After all roots, in the impersonal and the passive, the suffix ya is added. This [suffix] is wanted only within the domain of the attanopada4. By the word vā carried into the rule 434 (§485): Aññesu ca, there is no vuddhi before the suffix ya: anubhūyate sukhaṃ devadattena (happiness is experienced by Devadatta).

That suffix ya of the impersonal and passive domain, together with the root’s final, becomes a letter of the c group, or y, or v, as the case allows. And here the word vā is to be carried over from 448 (§442): Ivaṇṇāgamo vā by the lion’s glance (sīhagati), and it has the sense of a vavatthitavibhāsā (restricted option). Hence:

Cavaggo ca ta vaggānaṃ, dhātvantānaṃ yavattanaṃ;
Ravānañca sayappacca-yānaṃ hoti yathākkamanti.

For root-finals of the c group and the t group [together with ya] there is [a letter of] the c group;

Since the root’s final belongs to the c group and the like, c is made, and the c is doubled by 40 (§28): Paradvebhāvo ṭhāne: paccate odano devadattena (the rice is cooked by Devadatta). By 488 (§517): Kvaci dhātuvibhattippaccayānaṃ dīghaviparītādesalopāgamā ca the first person plural [ending], after a short [vowel] preceded by a heavy [syllable], sometimes becomes re: paccare, paccante. paccase, paccavhe. pacce, paccāmhe.

By the word attha (“sense”) the sattamī is used also in injunction, invitation and the rest. anumati (permission) is consenting to another who wishes to act; parikappa (supposition) is supposing — the considering, the framing of “if only it were so” — and also the supposition that, given the cause-action, the result-action follows.

Dvebhūtassa dhātussa yo pubbo avayavo, so abbhāsa sañño hotīti abbhāsasaññā.

The final of the abbhāsa optionally becomes an i-vowel, and a. This word vā has the sense of a vavatthitavibhāsā (restricted option). Hence:

Kha cha sesu avaṇṇassa,
Ikāro sagupussa ī;
Vāssa bhūssa parokkhāyaṃ,
Akāro nāparassimeti.

Before kha, cha and sa, for an a-vowel [of the abbhāsa]
an i, and for that of gupa too; an ī
for [the ā of] vā; of bhū in the parokkhā,
an a; these are for no other.

Abbhāsagatānaṃ dutiyacatutthānaṃ vaggabyañjanānaṃ yathākkamaṃ paṭhamatatiyā hontīti bha kārassa ba kāro.

The second and fourth group consonants standing in the abbhāsa become the first and third respectively; so the bh becomes b.

The roots brū and bhū are replaced by āha and bhūva [respectively] before a parokkhā inflection; so the word bhū is replaced by bhūva, and by 67 (§83): Saralopo’mādesappaccayādimhi saralope tu pakati and the like there is elision of the vowel and the rest: so kira rājā babhūva (that king, they say, was)12, te kira babhūvu (they, they say, were). tvaṃ kira babhūve (you, they say, were).

Before every asabbadhātuka [ending], the augment i is sometimes (kvaci) added after roots.

Asabbadhātuke byañja-nādimhe vāyamāgamo;
Kvacādhikārato byañja-nādopi kvaci no siyā.

Before an asabbadhātuka [ending] beginning with a consonant only13 is this augment [added];
by the governance of kvaci, even before one beginning with a consonant it sometimes is not.

474 (§430): Kālātipatti ssā ssaṃsu, sse ssatha, ssaṃssāmhā, ssatha ssisu, ssase ssavhe, ssiṃssāmhase (kālātipatti: the twelve endings of the unrealised) anvattha

Section titled “474 (§430): Kālātipatti ssā ssaṃsu, sse ssatha, ssaṃssāmhā, ssatha ssisu, ssase ssavhe, ssiṃssāmhase (kālātipatti: the twelve endings of the unrealised) anvattha ”

Ssā dīnaṃ dvādasannaṃ kālātipatti saññā hoti. Kālassa atipatanaṃ kālātipatti, sā pana viruddhapaccayūpanipātato, kāraṇavekallato vā kriyāya anabhinibbatti, taddīpakattā ayaṃ vibhatti kālātipattī ti vuccati.

The twelve [endings] ssā and the rest18 receive the name kālātipatti. kālātipatti is the lapsing (atipatana) of the time; and it is the non-occurrence of the action, because an opposing condition has intervened or because the cause was deficient; because it expresses that, this inflection is called kālātipatti.


475 (§422): Kriyātipannetīte kālātipatti (In the past, when the action has lapsed: the kālātipatti) utsarga

Section titled “475 (§422): Kriyātipannetīte kālātipatti (In the past, when the action has lapsed: the kālātipatti) utsarga ”

Kriyātipannamatte atīte kāle kālātipatti vibhatti hoti. Kriyāya atipatanaṃ kriyātipannaṃ, taṃ pana sādhakasattivirahena kriyāya accantānuppatti. Ettha ca kiñcāpi na kriyā atītasaddena voharitabbā, tathāpi takkiriyuppattippaṭibandhakarakriyāya kālabhedena atītavohāro labbhatevāti daṭṭhabbaṃ.

In past time, merely because the action has lapsed, the kālātipatti inflection is used. kriyātipanna is “the lapsing of the action” (kriyāya atipatanaṃ), and that is the utter non-arising of the action through the absence of the power that would have accomplished it. And here, although the action cannot be spoken of with the word “past”, nevertheless the designation “past” is indeed obtained by the difference of time of the action which obstructed the arising of that action — so it should be understood.

Kālātipattiparassapadapaṭhamapurisekavacanaṃ ssā, a kārikārāgamā, vuddhiavā desā ca, ‘‘kvaci dhātū’’tiādinā ssā ssāmhā vibhattīnaṃ kvaci rassattaṃ, sse vacanassa ca a ttaṃ.

[The ending is] ssā, the kālātipatti parassapada first person singular; the augments a and i, and vuddhi and the replacement ava; by 488 (§517): Kvaci dhātuvibhattippaccayānaṃ dīghaviparītādesalopāgamā ca the inflections ssā and ssāmhā are sometimes shortened, and [the e of] the ending sse becomes a.

Chakālikavibhattividhānaṃ.

The prescription of the inflections of the six times [is finished].


  1. CST4 prints kālābhipattivasena; the sixth division is the kālātipatti, and kālātipattivasena is read, so the Thai edition read by Rachiwong (1995). ↩

  2. Rachiwong (1995) reads the Burmese kārakavācake, “expressing the kāraka”, for the CST’s sādhakavācake; the CST is kept. ↩

  3. CST4 prints ‘‘yathā kattari cā’’ti; the rule quoted is 511 (§444): Tathā kattari ca, and the quotation is corrected to it. Rachiwong (1995) refers it to 440 (§454): Kattari ca. ↩

  4. Rachiwong (1995) renders Attanopadavisayevāyamissate “the suffix ya is to be applied optionally in the expression of attanopada”, reading visaye vā ayaṃ; here the sandhi is read visaye eva ayaṃ, “only within the domain of the attanopada”. ↩

  5. The Thai edition read by Rachiwong (1995) has āmhase for the CST’s āmase, here and in the pañcamī paradigms; the CST is kept. ↩

  6. Rachiwong (1995) takes patthanā yācanā as two senses, prayer and begging; here yācanā glosses patthanā. ↩

  7. Rachiwong (1995) makes kaṭakaraṇe a further sense, “in the sense of making a mat”; here it is the thing whose time has come. ↩

  8. Rachiwong (1995) renders hiyyopabhuti “before yesterday”, excluding yesterday; here it is “from yesterday and earlier”. ↩

  9. CST4 prints apacatthu; the ending is tthuṃ (455), and apacatthuṃ is read, so the Thai edition read by Rachiwong (1995). ↩

  10. Rachiwong (1995) renders Atikkamma itoti atīto “past from here (ito) after having gone beyond”, taking ito as “from here”; here it is the participle ita, “gone”. ↩

  11. Rachiwong (1995) runs the line’s two items together, “even when the suffix ‘a’ belonging to kiccapaccaya etc. — of the group of roots beginning with ‘juhoti’ — follows, the reduplication is applicable”; here appaccaye juhotyādissa and kiccādike kvaci are two items. ↩

  12. Rachiwong (1995) takes rājā as the predicate, “he had become a king”; here it is the subject, “that king, they say, was”. ↩

  13. CST4 divides byañja-nādimhe vāyamāgamo, which suggests vā; the words are read byañjanādimhi eva ayaṃ āgamo, “only before one beginning with a consonant”, as the Sinhalese edition’s undivided -nādimhevāyamāgamo allows. ↩

  14. The Thai edition read by Rachiwong (1995) has papacu for the CST’s papacū; the CST is kept. ↩

  15. CST4 prints apacca, apaccū; the parokkhā doubles the root (461) and takes no augment a (457), and papacca, papaccū is read. ↩

  16. CST4 prints va kārassa ja kāro; the letter of the abbhāsa ga that becomes j is g, and ga kārassa is read, so the Thai edition read by Rachiwong (1995). ↩

  17. The Thai edition read by Rachiwong (1995) has mā kiñci pāpaṃ āgamā, “may no evil come”, for the CST’s mā kañci pāpamāgamā; the CST is kept. ↩

  18. The Thai edition read by Rachiwong (1995) has the attanopada endings ssiṃsu, ssaṃ for the CST’s ssisu, ssiṃ; the CST is kept. ↩

  19. The Thai edition read by Rachiwong (1995) has abhavissiṃsu, abhavissaṃ (and apacissiṃsu, pacissiṃsu) for the CST’s abhavissisu, abhavissiṃ, with the endings of its sutta at 474; the CST is kept. ↩

  20. Rachiwong (1995) renders the examples as futures (“If, he would be ordained in childhood, he will be an arahā”); here they are counterfactual past, “he would have become”. ↩
