“YO NIRUTTIṀ NA SIKKHEYYA SIKKHANTO PIṬAKATTAYAṀ
PADE PADE VIKAṄKHEYYA VANE ANDHAGAJO YATHĀ.”

“One who would not study Grammar (Nirutti) while
studying the ‘Tipiṭaka’, would obtain uncertainty in every
step like a blind elephant (roaming about) in a jungle.”

The present thesis deals with the study of ‘Rūpasiddhi’ a Pali grammatical work. It is divided into four parts i. e. Text, Translation, Notes and Bibliography. I have attempted to present the text in Devanāgarī script along with an English translation and notes. It is expected that this modest attempt would lead to the production of complete edition of ‘Rūpasiddhi’’ in future.

I wish to take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to my guide Dr. J. R. Joshi, Reader in Pali, Department of Sanskrit and Prakrit Languages, University of Pune, without whose sincere guidance and co-operation the work would not have been accomplished.

I express my deepest gratitude to PHRARAJMEDHI (VARAVIJJA GAṄGAPAÑÑO) Wat Mahādhātu Bangkok, the Ecclesiastical Regional Governor (Cuḷasaṅghamaṇḍalapāmokkha), my preceptor who has contributed in developing my scholastic interests and abilities.

I expressly record my gratefulness to PHRAGRŪ UDOMDHAMMARAK (YOD YASAJĀTO), the vice - Ecclesiastical Provincial Governor (Nagarasaṅghānupāmokkha) of Mukdahan Province, my (First) ordination-teacher who encouraged me to study.

I also take this opportunity to express my thanks to Mrs. PETCHARA PINTONG, the President of R. Thai Bronze Makers Co. Ltd. for granting me financial support for five years, from the time of studying for M. A. (Pali & Sanskrit) till the present time. If she would not have granted me scholarship for the whole tenure of five years, it would not have been possible to pursue my studies at all. I, therefore, express my utmost gratitude to her.

No words are enough to express my heartiest gratitude towards my beloved parents, who have constantly inspired, provided valuable opportunities and affection to me in building up my career in educational field.

I must thank Phramaha Thiab Malai with whom I discussed the subject-matter and also all of those friends of mine who have helped me in needful hours.

Last but not the least, I am thankful to Prof. Dr. Saroja Bhate, the Head of the Department of Sanskrit and Prakrit Languages, University of Pune, for providing all facilities to undertake the present study.

Pali is the language of the texts which preserves the teachings of Buddhism. It has it’s own grammar. The grammar of a language is the art of speaking or writing it with propriety, by acquiring the knowledge of the different parts of speech and the structure of sentences1. The grammatical literature of the Pali language started from the times of Kaccāyana or Mahākaccāyana who is considered as the first Pali grammarian2. The Pali term ‘Vyākaraṇa’ is phonetically same as the Sanskrit ‘Vyākaraṇa’. This word is derived as : ’vi + ā + √kara + ‘yu’ suffix= ‘vyākaraṇa’3. The term ‘Vyākaraṇa’ is used in three meanings. They are i) grammar, ii) prediction and iii) answer.4 In the sense of ‘grammar’, it is found as a ‘vedaṅga’ belonging to the Vedic lore of learning i. e. Sikkhā, kappa, Vyākaraṇa, Nirutti, Chanda and Jotisattha.

‘Vyākaraṇa’ is very important among them.5 The term ‘veyyākaraṇa’ means exposition or explanation, the function of which is to make thing explicit or clear.6 For the study of entire Pali literature (mainly Tipiṭaka (texts), Atthakathā (commentary), ṭīkā (sub-commentary) etc.,) a scholar should posseses knowledge of the following texts : i) Saddasattha or Vyākaraṇa ii) Abhidhānasattha or Nigaṇḍu, the science of developing vocabulary or glossory of words, iii) Chandasattha or the Vuttodaya, a standard Pali work on prosody and iv) Alaṅkārasattha or keṭubha, the figures of speech or the art of poetry.7

Among these four texts, Saddasattha or Vyākaraṇa is the most important because it is the basis of them all. It is said that ‘The grammar of Pali language must be critically studied by one who wants to understand its literature generally, and by one who wants to penetrate into the abstruse doctrines of Buddhism, which exhibit the pure wisdom of its founder’.8 Even in the Dhammapada, the importance of the grammar is emphasized:-

“Vītataṇho anādāno, niruttipadakovido
akkharānaṃ sannipātaṃ, jaññā pubbaparāni ca
sa ve antimasārīro, mahāpañño mahāpurisoti vuccati.”9

“He is a great man or a learned person who has learnt the rules of construction of sentences, combination of letters or syllables in words and determination of sequence or syntax.”10

The word ‘Nirutti’ means ‘verbal analysis’, ‘glossory’, ‘use’, ‘expression of a language’, ‘grammatical and logical explanation of the words’ or ‘texts of the Buddhist scriptures.’11 In the verse, mentioned above, Nirutti is used to mean treatise on grammar.12 The grammar of Pali language has been composed in many countries like India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar and Thailand. There are many texts available. But concerning the texts which possess sutta-s (rules, aphorisms), vutti (supplementary explanation), and udāharaṇa (illustration), in accordance with the Burmese tradition there are four schools : i) Kaccāyana, ii) Moggallāna, iii) Saddanīti and iv) Saddasaṅgaha.13

The Saddasaṅgaha’s author is ‘Yomaṅchi Ūbholai’ of Mandale who composed it in the year 2413 B. E. (Buddhist Era).14 However, the grammatical works of only three schools are well known : i) those which belong to the school of Kaccāyana i.e. Bālāvatāra, Rūpasiddhi etc.; ii) the grammar of Moggallāna with the ancillary works belonging to it like Payogasiddhi, Padasādhana etc. and iii) Saddanīti.15

First of all, let us have an outline of ‘Saddanīti’ one of the three schools of Pali grammar. Its grammar is based on the Tipiṭaka. The treatise was composed by a grammarian called ‘Aggavaṃsa’, belonging to Pagan during the reign of the king Anorata in the year 1154 A. D.16 The Saddanīti consists of twenty-five Pariccheda-s or sections17 [according to W. Geiger,18 27 chapters; according to K. R. Norman,19 28 chapters.]. The first eighteen are called ‘Mahāsaddanīti’ and the remaining nine are called ‘Cullasaddanīti’. That text has three parts : Padamālā : the Garland of words, Dhātumālā: the Garland of roots and Suttamālā : the Garland of rules. On the whole it follows Kaccāyana, but Aggavaṃsa also makes use of Pāṇini.20 According to Piṭakatthamain, there is a ṭīkā on it called ‘Saddanītiṭīkā’ which is composed by Paññāsāmi Thera of Mandale and the Saddanītinissaya by Ū Pug.21 The Saddanīti was the first return gift of Burma to Ceylon which had been brought by the ‘Uttarājīvathera’. It was received with enthusiastic admiration and declared superior to any other work of the kind written by Sri Lankan scholars.22 This treatise is still regarded as a classic in Myanmar.23

Another grammatical work called Moggallāna or Moggallāyana Vyākaraṇa, is considered as the up-to-date treatise on Pali grammar. It is also called ‘Saddalakkhaṇa’. It is based on the Sanskrit grammar viz. the Kātantra, the work of Chandragomin.24 It is also based on the older works on Pali grammar. The thera named ‘Moggallāna’ of Ceylon is the author of the treatise of the same name, which was composed in the reign of the king Parakkamabāhu I25 (1153-1186 A. D.). He was the pupil of Mahākassapa of Udumbaragiri Vihāra. Moggallāna deals with the linguistic material exhaustively; and with greater understanding of the essence and character of Pali, which with the influence of both Sanskrit and Sinhalese had changed in comparision to the language of the earlier works on Pali grammar.26 It consists of six chapters i. e. Akkharavidhi and Sandhi : Terminology and Combination, Nāma : Nouns or Declensions, Samāsa : Compounds, Taddhita : Nominal derivatives, Ākhyāta : Verbs and Kitaka: Verbal Derivatives. Each of these divisions possesses sutta-s, vutti and udāharaṇa similar to Kaccāyana.

Among the commentaries on it, mention may be made of ‘Padasādhana’ of Piyadassī, the pupil of Moggallāna; which was composed at the end of twelfth century27 and the ‘Payogasiddhi’ which bears the same relation to Moggallāna Vyākaraṇa as the Rūpasiddhi does to the Kaccāyana.28 Payogasiddhi was composed by Vanaratana Medhaṅkara, who lived in approximately 1300 A. D., in the reign of Bhūvānekabāhu III.29 Other important works are Moggallāna-pañcikāpadīpa (a commentary on the Pañcikā of Moggallāna30 written by Sri Rāhulathera in the year 1456 A. D.),31 Padasādhana-ṭīkā, susaddasiddhi, sambandhacintā, Niruttidīpani etc.

The principal and oldest work of Pali grammatical treatises is ‘Kaccāyana-Vyākaraṇa’. It is also known as ‘Kaccāyanagandha’.32 It is so called, because it owes its origin to the teacher Kaccāyana or Mahākaccāyana. According to the tradition, he belonged to Jambudīpa, i.e. India.33 According to modern scholars, the author of the Kaccāyana-Vyākaraṇa was probably a South Indian belonging to the fifth or sixth century A. D. They further add that this Kaccāyana belonged to the Avantī school founded by Mahāsāvaka Mahākaccāyana.34 Mahāsāvaka Mahākaccāyana was contemporary of the Buddha, and had attained the fourfold knowledge.35

The author of Kaccāyana-Vyākaraṇa must be later than the teacher Buddhaghosa who was well known from fifth or sixth century onwards. Nothing is known about him except his name, and he seems to be unconnected with any other Kaccāyana known to us from Sanskrit or Pali. The Kaccāyana-Vyākaraṇa is composed on the lines of Kātantrakalāpa of Sarvavarman and Pāṇini.36 However the Kaccāyana-Vyākaraṇa is the most ancient Pali grammar that was composed by a first rate scholar and it is a very useful and valuable work for acquiring the knowledge of Pali language.37 Kaccāyana-Vyākaraṇa consists of eight divisions i.e. Sandhi : the combination, Nāma : Nouns, Declension, Kāraka : Syntax, Samāsa: Compound, Taddhita : Nominal derivation or the secondary derivation, Ākhyāta : Verbs, Kitaka : Verbal derivatives, and Uṇādi : particle, minor part of speech. Each division contains sutta-s or rules with great brevity, vutti or supplementary comments to explain the deficiencies in the sutta-s and Udāharaṇa : the illustration, examples.

This treatise has explained the grammar with rules briefly. Therefore, it is difficult for one who is new to it. Thus, there are several commentaries which are connected with this grammar :-

1. Nyāsa or Mukhamattadīpanī : The grammatical work based on Kaccāyana tradition was composed by the Thera ‘Vimalabuddhi’ in the eleventh century A. D.38 The author, according to Sāsanavaṃsa was a thera of Pagan, but according to some other authorities, he belonged to Sri Lanka.39 The author of Saddanīti calls ‘Vimalabuddhi’ as ‘Vajirabuddhi’.40 The work posseses sutta, vutti and udāharaṇa similar to Kaccāyana. There is also a ṭīkā on it called Thanbyin.41

2. Bālāvatāra : The Pali grammatical work is a summary of the Kaccāyana-Vyākaraṇa. It has seven chapters. This treatise was composed by a Sri Lankan thera ‘Dhammakitti’ in the fourteenth century. But the Gandhavaṃsa assigns its authorship to Vācissara.42 The arrangement of Bālāvatāra is similar to ‘Laghusiddhāntakaumudī’ of the Pāṇinian tradition.

3. Suttaniddesa : It is also called ‘Kaccāyanasuttaniddesa’. It is a grammatical treatise which explains the suttas (aphorisms) of Kaccāyana. It was composed by a teacher of Pagan named ‘Saddhammajotipāla’ or ‘Chapaṭa’ in the year 1181 A. D.43 The Gandhavaṃsa adds that Chapaṭa composed ‘Suttaniddesa’ at the request of his pupil ‘Dhammacārī’.44 In this treatise, we have the following passage which states that the rule ‘Attho akkharasaññāto’ was declared by the Lord Buddha himself; and that the author of Kaccāyana-Vyākaraṇa is Mahākaccāyana Mahāsāvaka.

“Eko vuḍḍha-pabbajito bhagavato santike kammaṭṭhānaṃ gahetvā anotattatīre sālarukkhamūle nisinno udayabbayakammaṭṭhānaṃ karoti, so udake carantaṃ bakaṃ disvā udakabakanti kammaṭṭhānaṃ karoti, Bhagavā taṃ vitathabhāvaṃ disvā vuḍḍhapabbajitaṃ pakkosāpetvā attho akkharasaññātoti vākyamāha. Kaccāyanattherenāpi bhagavato adhippāyaṃ jānitvā attho akkharasaññātoti vākyaṃ pubbe ṭhapetvā idaṃ pakaraṇaṃ katanti kaccāyanena katasuttantipi vadanti.”

’A certain aged monk having taken kammaṭṭhāna in the vicinity of Bhagavā, goes away, and sitting at the root of a Sāla tree on the bank of the lake Anotatta, meditates on the kammaṭṭhāna, repeating the word ‘udayabbaya’. He observing a crane (baka) moving on the water (udaka), meditates on kammaṭṭāna, uttering the word ‘udakabaka’. Bhagavā, perceiving his inaccuracy, sent for the old monk and uttered the phrase ‘Attho akkharasaññāto’, which signifies : ‘The sense is understood by means of letters’. They say that the elder Kaccāyana having percieved Bhagavā’s meaning, placed the phrase ‘Attho akkharasaññāto’ as the first of his aphorisms and composed his Grammar. They also say that the above phrase is an aphorism produced by Kaccāyana himself.’45

Moreover, there are many grammatical works in the line of Kaccāyana i. e. Kaccāyanabheda, Kaccāyanavaṇṇanā, Kaccāyanasāra, Kārikā, Saddabindu, Vaccavācaka, Vācakopadesa and so on. According to a Thai scholar, the manuscripts of Pali grammatical texts are more than 134.46 Many grammatical treatises still lie buried in manuscripts. Some are reported to have been lost.47

Rūpasiddhi is one of the grammatical works in the line of Kaccāyana. It is a standard book on Pali grammar. According to De Zoysa, Rūpasiddhi is similar to Payogasiddhi which is on the line of Moggallāna-vyākaraṇa.48 The span of this treatise is very wide; and the treatise is mature. Rūpasiddhi is called variously as : Rūpasiddhipakaraṇaṃ, Padarūpasiddhi, Mahārūpasiddhi, and Rūpasiddhi-aṭṭhakathā. Let us consider the propriety of these titles :-

1) Rūpasiddhipakaraṇaṃ : ‘Rūpasiddhi’s composition’ or ‘the text on Rūpasiddhi’. This occurs as the title of the work and also at the end of the treatise. The word ‘pakaraṇa’ if used in the title means literary work, composition or book.49 In Pali it is often used to indicate a text, such as : Abhidhammapakaraṇaṃ, Kathāvatthu-pakaraṇaṃ, Nettipakaraṇaṃ etc.50

2) Padarūpasiddhi : The author uses this word in the last line of the opening stanza.51 Padarūpasiddhi-ṭīkā has given the meaning of this word as ‘Etymology of the part of speech.’52 It explains the word as follows :-

‘Padaṃ catubbidhaṃ vuttaṃ nāmākhyātopasaggañca
nipātañcāti viññūhi asso khalvābhidhāvati’53

“It is said by the learned persons that the word (pada) is fourfold; Nāma, Akhyāta, Upasagga and Nipāta, i. e. ’asso (noun), khalu (nipāta), abhi (upasagga), dhāvati (verb).”

3) Mahārūpasiddhi54 : The meaning is : ‘Rūpasiddhi the great’. The preceding word ‘mahā’ is used to show the importance of the work.

4) Rūpasiddhi-Aṭṭhakathā55 : It is so called because it is a commentary on the Kaccāyana-Vyākaraṇa.

5) Rūpasiddhi : This name is normally used by the author in the title of the chapters and at the end of the chapters; f. e. ‘Rūpasiddhiyaṃ sandhikaṇḍo’, ‘iti rūpasiddhiyaṃ sandhikaṇḍo paṭhamo’, ‘rūpasiddhiyaṃ nāmakaṇḍo’, ‘iti rūpasiddhiyaṃ nāmakaṇḍo dutiyo’ etc.

Rūpasiddhi is written by a thera called ‘Buddhappiya’ or ‘Dīpaṅkara’. The author is referred to as ‘Bhadanta Buddhappiyācāriya’ in the Padarūpasiddhi-ṭīkā.56 The author mentions himself in the colophon :

“Vikkhātānandatheravhayavaragurūnaṃ tampapaṇṇiddhajānaṃ
sisso dīpaṅkarākhyaddamiḷavasumatī dīpaladdhappakāso,
Bālādiccādhivāsanvitayamadhivasaṃ sāsanaṃ jotayī yo
soyaṃ buddhappiyavho yati imamujukaṃ rūpasiddhiṃ akāsi.”57

“This perfect Rūpasiddhi was composed by that monk who received the title of Buddhappiya and was named Dīpaṅkara, a disciple of Ānanda, the eminent preceptor who was like unto a standard in Tambapaṇṇi, he (Dīpaṅkara) was renowned like a lamp in the Damiḷa country, and being the resident superior there of two monasteries including Bālādicca, caused the Religion to shine forth”.58

The other monastery was called ‘Cūḷamaṇikamma’59 or ‘Cūḍāmāṇikya.’

Buddhappiya’s period has not been fixed yet. It depends on the time of the thera ‘Ānanda’ whom Buddhappiya ascribes as his teacher himself. Most of the scholars viz. W. Geiger, M. Winternitz, Malalasekera etc. have pointed out that Buddhappiya lived in the second half of thirteenth century.60 He was a contemporary of the thera ‘Vedeha’. The Elder ‘Vedeha’ was also a pupil of the Elder ‘Ānanda Vanaratana’. Buddhappiya is probably the same person as the author of Pajjamadhu. It is a poem composed in the praise of the Buddha. At the conclusion of Pajjamadhu, he gives his name and pupilage :-

“Ānanda-raññā-ratanādi-mahā-yatinda
niccappabuddha-padumappiya-sevinaṅgī
buddhappiya-ghana-buddha-guṇappiyena
therālina racita pajjamadhuṃ pibantu”.

“May they drink deeply of these nectar-like verses (pajjamadhu) made by the bee Buddhappiya, delighted with the Buddha’s virtues - who constantly attends upon that lotus, the Venerable Elder Ānanda Vanaratana, heavy-laden with the perfume of his virtues and always in bloom”.61

Malalasekera has written about the bio-data of Buddhappiya in detail from which we can conclude that Ānanda thera was a disciple of Udumbaragiri Medhaṅkara, the pupil of Sāriputta who is the author of ‘Sārattha-dīpanī-ṭīkā’.62 Ānanda Thera lived probably in the time of Vijayabahu III. He was the teacher of several disciples, who became scholars of note and authors of important compilations. Two of his disciples who are better known as distinguished writers are Coḷiya Dīpaṅkara and Vedeha Thera. Coḷiya Dīpaṅkara or Buddhappiya was a native of Coḷa country in South India but studied in Sri Lanka under Ānanda Vanaratana.63

Walpola Rahula however has different view about the date of Ānanda Thera, the author of Mūlaṭīkā. According to him, Ānanda Thera lived in Polonaruva in the tenth or eleventh century A. D. and had known the Rūpasiddhi of Buddhappiya.64 Further the author of Moggallāna-Vyākaraṇa knew Rūpasiddhi of Buddhappiya. This means that Moggallāna was composed after Rūpasiddhi or it was contemporary with Rūpasiddhi. We know that the Moggallāna Vyākaraṇa is a new grammatical school belonging to the twelfth century A. D. (1158-1186). Moggallāna disagrees with Kaccāyana about the number of the Pali alphabets. In Kaccāyana, the Pali alphabets are fourty-one according to the rule : ‘Akkharāpādayo ekacattālīsaṃ.’65 The alphabets are divided into 8 vowels (sarā) viz. a, ā. i, ī, u, ū, e, o; 32 consonants (byañjanāni) and ‘aṃ’ which is a Niggahita. The 32 consonants are :- ka, kha, ga, gha, ṅa (ka-vagga), ca, cha, ja, jha, ña (ca-vagga), ṭa, ṭha, ḍa, ḍha, ṇa (ṭa-vagga), ta, tha, da, dha, na (ta-vagga), pa, pha, ba, bha, ma (pa-vagga) and ya, ra, la, va, sa, ha, ḷa. According to Moggallāna, the Pali alphabets are fourty-three ‘a ādayo titālisavaṇṇā’.66 Thus two more vowels et and ôt are included.67

Rūpasiddhi, which is the re-arrangement of Kaccāyana and which was composed in the 13th century is in dispute with Moggallāna :-

“Adikakkharāvantāni ekatālīsato ito
na buddhavacanānīti dīpetācariyāsabho.”68

“The teacher had shown that the alphabets (akkhara-s) other than 41 are not the Buddha’s words (buddhavacana).”

Thus it is clear that Rūpasiddhi was composed after Moggallāna.

Besides Rūpasiddhi, Buddhappiya also composed a beautiful poem in Sanskritized Pali which contains 104 stanzas69 in praise of the Buddha. Rūpasiddhi-ṭīkā too was written by Buddhappiya himself.70 In the GV, it is said : ‘dīpaṅkaro nāmācariyo rūpasiddhipakaraṇaṃ rūpasiddhiṭīkaṃ sammapañcasuttañceti tividhapakaraṇaṃ akāsi’.71 In place of the word ’sammapañcasuttaṃ, one finds the word ‘Pajjamadhuganthaṃ’, according to GV in Burmese script.72 According to GV, there is also the book called ‘sāratthasaṅgaha’ composed by Buddhappiya.73 Buddhappiya had a pupil named ‘Siddhattha’. Siddhattha was the author of Sārasaṅgaha, a work on Buddhism in prose mixed with verse.74 He probably lived in between 13th and 14th century. Malalasekera, however, called ‘Sārasaṅgaha’ as ‘sāratthasaṅgaha’75 instead. In the conclusion of the work, Sārasaṅgaha’s author himself says that he was a pupil of Buddhappiya.

Buddhappiya’s intention to compose the Rūpasiddhi, as he has described in the first stanza, is :-

“Bālappabodhatthamujuṃ karissaṃ
byattaṃ sukaṇḍaṃ padarūpasiddhiṃ”76

“I (Buddhappiya) shall compose the padarūpasiddhi exhaustively (ujuṃ), transparently (byattaṃ), (having) proper chapters (sukaṇḍaṃ), for the benefit of persons who are ignorant (about grammar)”.

The words ‘ujuṃ, byattaṃ, sukaṇḍaṃ’ indicate the methodology in the composition of the treatise. Moreover, the reason for adopting this methodology is given in the Sandhikappa (chapter on Combination) : ‘Akkharakosallaṃ bahūpakāraṃ buddhavacanesu,’77 ‘Having knowledge about the letter (akkhara) is of great use in the Buddha’s discourse (Buddhavacana)’. Padarūpasiddhi-ṭīkā comments : ‘the penetration into the pariyattidhamma (the true doctrine of study) i. e. the tipiṭaka together with aṭṭhakathā, will be attained when there is knowledge of letters, and there the paṭipattidhamma (the true doctrine of practice) and the paṭivedhadhamma (realizable aspects of the true doctrine) will be penetrated into respectively’.78 Therefore, the purpose of the methodology followed in the composition of Rūpasiddhi is divided mainly into two as follows :-

1. to support the way of learning Pali grammar easily. As the Mahāsiddhāntakaumudī is much helpful to understand Pāṇini’s grammar, similarly, Rūpasiddhi also ia helpful for the study of Kaccāyana grammar.79

2. to penetrate into the discourse of the Buddha in pariyattidhamma, paṭipattidhamma and paṭivedhadhamma.

Besides that the author has also touched the five points of writing as :-

“Saññā nimittaṃ kattā ca parimāṇaṃ payojanaṃ
sabbāgamassa pubbeva vattabbaṃ vattumicchatā”.

“Before writing the treatise, one should deal with (five points) v.z. saññā, nimitta, kattā, parimāṇa and payojana”.

The author of Rūpasiddhi, for ‘saññā’ or nomenclature, [which means declaring the name of text], uses the word ‘padarūpasiddhi’. The nimitta is twofold :- i) ajjhattikaṃ nimittaṃ : the internal reason, ii) bāhiraṃ nimittaṃ : the external reason. These two reasons are clear by the word ‘bālappabodhatthaṃ’. The word ‘bāla’ indicates the external reason which means a student who had difficulties about learning and who caused Buddhappiya to compose the treatise. That shows his compassion towards the students. Thus, compassion is the internal reason. With regard to the ‘kattā’ or authorship, Buddhappiya uses the word ‘karissaṃ’ which is the ‘amhayogakiriyā’ (the verb of first person). But the name of the author does not occur in this context. However, the name occurs in the colophon of the text. Then comes the parimāṇa or measurements of the contents of the work. Its measurement is indicated by the word ‘sukaṇḍaṃ’. This means that this treatise has been made neither very brief nor very extensive. The gain or payojana of the grammatical work is twofold according to the author. It is as follows :- i) Mukhapayojana : Primary gain, ii) Anusaṅgikapayojana : Secondary gain. Among them, understanding of Pali grammar, is the primary gain. The secondary gain is that one can attain the highest position in the Buddhist Dispensation. The Rūpasiddhi’s author has shown these two gains by the use of the word ‘pabodha’ (in ‘bālappabodhatthaṃ’).80

Rūpasiddhi is divided into seven chapters :-

1) Sandhikaṇḍo : the chapter on combination. It contains five sections : Saññā or saññābhidhāna, sara, pakati, vyañjana and niggahita. There are fifty-nine aphorisms.

2) Nāmakaṇḍo : the chapter on Nouns. The chapter contains also the declension of pronominals, numerals, personal pronouns; the use of indeclinables and inseparable particles (Opasaggikaṃ padaṃ, nepātikaṃ padaṃ). The aphorisms herein are two hundred and twenty-three in number.

3) Kārakakaṇḍa :- the chapter on syntax. It deals with the forms of nouns which are related to verbs. There are six case-relations i. e. kattukāraka, kammakāraka, karaṇakāraka, sampaḍānakāraka, apadānakāraka, and ādhārakāraka. There are thirty-three aphorisms in this chapter.

4) Samāsakaṇḍa :- the chapter on Compounds. The compounding of words is dealt upon in sixfold manner i. e. Abyayībhāva, kammadhāraya, digu, tappurisa, bahubbīhi and dvandva. There are thirty-one aphorisms in this chapter.

6) Ākhyātakaṇḍa : the chapter on verbs. It is in three parts as follows : i) vibhattividhāna : the construction of the verbal forms in which pada, purisa, vacana, vibhatti and kāla are to be taken into account. ii) Vikaraṇavidhāna : it deals with the dhātu : (roots) paccaya : (suffix) and vācaka (tense). iii) Dhātupaccayantanaya : It explains the procedure of the formation of the words ending in the ‘dhātu-paccaya-s’. This chapter has one hundred and twenty-one aphorisms.

7) Kibbidhānakaṇḍa :- the chapter on verbal derivation. In this chapter, along with the kibbidhāna suffixes, the ‘uṇādi’ suffixes also are explained. There are one hundred and forty aphorisms in this chapter.

Thus, the number of the aphorisms of Rūpasiddhi is six hundred and sixty eight. The number of the aphorisms of Rūpasiddhi according to the Thai, Sri Lankan and Myanmarian versions is different. In the Thai and Sri Lankan Rūpasiddhi, there are 668 aphorisms. But the aphorisms in Myanmarian one are 684. This, however, does not indicate less or more aphorisms; the number varies just because of inclusion or exclusion of the aphorisms repeated in different contexts. Further, the way of the classification of aphorisms under different sections varies from one another in the Kaccāyana, Nyāsa and Rūpasiddhi. Kaccāyana and Nyāsa divided the contents into eight divisions. Each division is called ‘kappa’ such as Sandhikappa, Nāmakappa etc. Section of a kappa is called ‘kaṇḍa’ f. e. ‘Sandhikappe paṭhamo kaṇḍo’, ‘Nāmakappe dutiyo kaṇḍo’ etc. The topics of the first six divisions of the three texts are similar. The topic of the seventh and eight divisions of Kaccāyana and Nyāsa is the same as that of the seventh chapter of Rūpasiddhi.

However, the number of the aphorisms in the three texts varies. Kaccāyana contains 673 aphorisms. Nyāsa has 714 aphorisms i. e. 41 aphorisms more than Kaccāyana. There are 36 additions of aphorisms in Kārakakappa, 3 in Nāmakappa and 2 in Samāsakappa. But in Rūpasiddhi, there are only 668 aphorisms. Rūpasiddhi excludes 7 aphorisms from Kaccāyana and accepts two aphorisms from Nyāsa.

It has been mentioned before that Rūpasiddhi consists of seven chapters. Here, however, as the title indicates, the three chapters i. e. Nāmakaṇḍa (the chapter on Nouns), Samāsakaṇḍa (the chapter on compounds) and Ākhyātakaṇḍa (the chapter on verbs) are the aspects which are selected for study. Let us deal with the significance of these three aspects.

Buddhappiya, the author of Rūpasiddhi, re-arranges the rules of Kaccāyana and gives explanation to make them easy to understand. The author follows Kaccāyana and also adds some rules from other treatise for better understanding. Rūpasiddhi, in the second chapter introduces the word ‘nāma’. The meaning is ‘the designation of matter’. ‘Nāma’ tends towards the meaning and brings the meaning in itself. This chapter starts with the rule ‘Jinavacanayuttaṃ hi’ (60) as in Kaccāyana (52). Under this rule, we find the following verse :-

Sā māgadhī mūlabhāsā narā yāyādikappikā
brahmāno cassutālāpā sambuddhā cāpi bhāsare.81

This verse refers to Pali as the language of Magadha, which was used by the Buddha-s. Then follow the rules about declension of nouns. In Pali, a noun has three genders :- masculine (pulliṅga), feminine (itthiliṅga), neuter (napuṃsakaliṅga). There are two numbers :- singular (ekavacana) and plural (bahuvacana). There are eight cases (vibhatti-s). The word ‘purisa’ belonging to the masculine gender, ending in ‘a’ (a-Kāranta), is the first example given in this kaṇḍa.

Let us note how the form ‘puriso’ is accomplished.

  • ‘Si’ is applied by the rule ‘Liṅgatthe paṭhamā’ (65).
  • The case-ending ‘si’ is changed into ‘o’ by the rule ‘So’ (66) = Purisa + 0.
  • The vowel following consonant is dropped by the rule ‘saralopo amādesapaccayādimhi saralope tu pakati’ (67).
  • ‘O’ is applied after ‘S’ by the rule ‘Naye paraṃ yutte’ (14).

Thus, the form ‘puriso’ is accomplished.

Similar process is followed in plural number and the other words ending in ‘a’. In the Nāmakaṇḍa of Rūpasiddhi, the first part deals with the masculine noun stems ending in a, ā, i, ī, u, ū and o. The author concludes this part as follows :-

“Puriso guṇavā rājā sā-aggi daṇḍī ca bhikkhu ca
satthā-abhibhū sabbaññū goti pulliṅgasaṅgaho”.82

The second part of Nāmakaṇa deals with the declension of feminine noun stems ending in ā, i, ī, u, ū, and o. The author concludes this part with the following verse :-

“kaññā ratti nadī itthī mātulānī ca bhikkhunī
daṇḍinī yāgu mātā ca jambū gotitthīsaṅgaho”.83

The declension of neuter noun stems ending in a, ā, i, ī, u, ū and o are included in the third part. The chapter concludes as follows:-

“cittaṃ kammañca assaddha- mathaṭṭhi sukhakāri ca
āyu gotrabhū dhammaññū cittagoti napuṃsake”.84

The fourth part, consists of pronominals and numerals. There are twenty-seven words of this type, f. e. sabba, ya, ta, ima, dvi, ti, etc. There are also the words having no gender (aliṅga), like the personal pronouns ‘tumha, amha’. These words have similar forms in all three genders, f. e. tvaṃ, ahaṃ etc. (tvaṃ pumā, tvaṃ itthī, tvaṃ napuṃsakaṃ).85

Rūpasiddhi also deals with the nouns which end in the case-suffixes like ‘to’ in the sense of ‘pañcamī’ (ablative), and tra, ttha etc. in the sense of sattamī (locative). Thus, we have the forms like sabbato, rājato, corato, sabbatra, sabbattha etc. The last part of the chapter on Nouns deals with the Upasaggas and Nipātas which also belong to the group of nouns having no genders (aliṅga). They are also called ‘indeclinables.’ In the conclusion of chapter, the author summarizes by this verse :-

“Pulliṅgaṃ itthiliṅgañca napuṃsakamathāparaṃ
tiliṅgañca aliṅgañca nāmikaṃ pañcadhā ṭhitaṃ”.86

“The nominal words are fivefold :- i) pulliṅga : masculine, ii) itthīliṅga : feminine, iii) napuṃsakaliṅga- neuter, iv) tiliṅga - having three genders and v) aliṅga- having no gender.”

Samāsakaṇḍa : the chapter on compounds

Section titled “Samāsakaṇḍa : the chapter on compounds”

The chapter on compounds starts by mentioning the types of compounds; namely :- i) Abyayībhāva : Adverbial, ii) Kammadhāraya : Appositional, iii) Digu : Numerical, iv) Tappurisa : Determinative, v) Bahubbīhi : Relative and vi) Dvandva : Copulative. These are dealt with as follows :-

‘Abhyayībhāva’ is a compound having upasagga or nipāta as the first member. The whole of the compound is treated like a noun in neuter gender with a Nominative Case and Singular Number. They are divided into two types i) Upasaggapubbaka : being preceded by upasagga and ii) Nipātapubbaka : being preceded by nipāta. The author of Rūpasiddhi has also dealt with the irregular Abhayībhāva compounds. These compounds are not in Neuter gender with Nominative case and singular number. The author refers to the words like ‘upanagarassa’, ‘upanagarasmiṃ’, ‘anto-avīcimhi’, ‘bahisāṇiyaṃ’ etc.

‘Kammadhāraya’ is a compound having both members in the same case relation. The first member is thus either a noun or an adjective qualifying the other member. They are of nine types :- i) Visesanapubbapada: adjective is the first member of the compound, f. e. ‘mahāpuriso’. ii) Visesanuttarapada : adjective is the second member of the compound f. e. ‘naraseṭṭho’, etc. iii) Visesanobhayapada : both the members are adjectives f. e. ‘katañca akatañca katākataṃ’, etc. iv) Upamānuttarapada : the second member indicates comparison f. e. ‘munisīho’ etc. v) Sambhāvanapubbapada: ‘dhammabuddhi’, etc. vi) Avadhāraṇapubbapada : ‘guṇadhanaṃ’, etc. vii) Nipātapubbapada : f. e. ‘amanusso’, viii) Kupubbapada : The nipāta ‘ku’ is the first member f. e. ‘kuputto’, ‘kudiṭṭhi’ etc.

‘Digu’ is so called because the first member of a kammadhāraya compound is a numeral. Digu is twofold : i) Samāhāradigu, ii) Asamāhāradigu. The ‘tappurisa compound’ is sixfold. It is in the six case-endings beginning with the accusative. There are also the tappurisa compounds having different forms other than the six. They are i) amādiparatappurisa and ii) alopatappurisa.

‘Bahubbīhi’ is a compound having the aññapada [?] They are ninefold : i) dvipada tulyādhikaraṇa, ii) dvipada bhinnādhikaraṇa, iii) tipada, iv) nanipātapubbapada, v) sahapubbapada, vi) upamānapubbapada, vii) saṅkhyobhayapada, viii) disantarāḷattha and ix) byatihāralakkhaṇa. The bahubbīhi compounds have two members in the same case relation and are used in six cases.

Two or more nouns joined by the co-ordinating conjunction ‘ca’ (and) being in the same case are called ‘dvandva’. It is of two types : i) itarītarayoga, ii) Samāhāra. The itarītara dvandva compound is always plural and takes the gender of the last member. The ‘samāhāra dvandva compound’ always has singular number and neuter gender. This compound is especially used in the sense of limbs of living beings.

The samāhāra dvandva is formed in different senses. In the dvandva compounds of the words denoting rukkha, tiṇa, pasu, dhana, dhañña, janapada etc., singularity and neuter gender are only optionally applicable. When there is the absence of singular, plural is applicable and gender of the latter word is applicable. This is also called ‘vikappasamāhāradvandva.’87

In the conclusion of the chapter on compounds, the author summarizes by this stanza :-

“pubbuttarubhayaññatthap- padhānattā catubbidho
samāsoyaṃ digukamma- dhārayehi ca chabbidho
duvidho abyayībhāvo navadhā kammadhārayo
digu dvidhā tappuriso aṭṭhadhā navadhā bhave
bahubbīhi dvidhā dvandvo samāso caturaṭṭhadhāti.”88

“This samāsa is fourfold according to the major members being pubbapada, uttarapada, ubhayapada and aññapada. It is sixfold with the inclusion of digu and kammadhāraya. The abyayībhāva is twofold. The Kammadhāraya is ninefold. The digu is twofold. The tappurisa is eight-fold. The bahubbīhi is ninefold. The dvandva is twofold. Thus, it is thirty-two-fold.”

‘Ākhyāta’ is the pada indicating action (kiriyāpada). The ’ākhyāta’s components are eight types namely : Kāla, kāraka, Purisa, vacana, pada, vibhatti, dhātu and paccaya. Kāla or time is divided into three. Kāraka: case-relation or voice, there are three voices : i) Kattukāraka : Active voice, ii) Kammakāraka : passive and iii) Bhāvakāraka : impersonal constructions. Purisa : Person. There are three persons. Vacana : Number. There are two numbers :- ekavacana : singular and bahuvacana : Plural. Pada : There are two padas : i) the parassapada and ii) attanopada. Vibhatti or case-terminations are eightfold as follows :- i) Vattamānā vibhatti : It indicates the present tense (Paccupannakāla). ii) Pañcamī vibhatti : Imperative. iii) Sattamī vibhatti : Potential. iv) Parokkhā vibhatti : These terminations are used to express a past event not experienced by (present) senses. v) Hiyyattanī vibhatti : Past tense. vi) Ajjattanīvibhatti : Aorist. The forms of Aorist terminations are very rare in literature. vii) Bhavissanti vibhatti : Future tense. viii) Kālātipatti vibhatti : Conditional. This topic is concluded by this stanza :-

“pancamī sattamī vatta- mānā sampatināgate
bhavissanti parokkhādi catassotītakālikā.”89

“The terminations called Pañcami, Sattami, and vattamānā are applicable to present (sampati). The bhavissanti is applicable to the future. The four terminations beginning with ‘Parokkha’ are applicable to the past.”

The second part of the chapter on verbs consists of vikaraṇavidhāna: the procedure of the conjugation. It deals with the roots divided into seven types i. e. i) Bhūvādi. ii) Rudhādi. iii) Divādi. iv) Svādi. v) Kiyādi. vi) Tanādi. vii) Curādi. The author concludes by this verse :-

“Bhūvādi ca rudhādi ca divādi svādayo gaṇā
kiyādi tanādī ca curādi cidhādi sattadhā.”90

Suffixes are also classified in five divisions :- i) Kattupaccaya, ii) Kammapaccaya, iii) Bhāvapaccaya, iv) Hetukattupaccaya. v) Hetukammapaccaya.

In the final section of the chapter on Verbs, the words ending in ’dhātu-paccayas beginning with ‘kha’ and ending with ‘kārita’ are dealt with. When these suffixes are applied to root, the root’s meaning is changed. There are also suffixes which change a noun into verb. Also the Kārita suffixes i. e. ṇe, ṇaya, ṇāpe, ṇāpaya are dealt with. They bring the sense of ‘cause’ (Hetu).

This outline of the three chapters would reveal the importance of the grammatical topics covered therein. Accordingly, the present attempt deals with those important topics by way of critical presentation of the text in Devanāgarī script, English translation and critical notes wherever necessary. It may be pointed out that herein Rūpasiddhi is appearing for the first time in Devanāgarī which is often convenient for Indian readers. Similarly, the translation of Rūpasiddhi also is appearing first time in English.

In the field of Pali literature, Rūpasiddhi has become a constant subject of study in the monasteries. The present attempt is to study and interpret some aspects of Rūpasiddhi. The author desires to explore the method of Rūpasiddhi in the light of concerned literature. The thesis has four parts as follows :-

1) Text : Rūpasiddhi has seven chapters. An attempt is being made here, to study the three chapters as follows :-

1.1) Nāmakaṇḍa : The chapter on Nouns.
1.2) Samāsakaṇḍa : The chapter on compounds.
1.3) Ākhyātakaṇḍa : The chapter on verbs.

As the text of this thesis, these chapters are presented in the ‘DEVA-NĀGARI-SCRIPT’ first time. The variant readings are recorded as foot-notes.

2) Translation : Hereby, Rūpasiddhi, though partially, appears in English translation, first of its kind.

3) Notes : Some necessary notes also are presented to explain some rules or examples. Reference may be made to the word ‘ekasesa’ appearing under the rule 68.

4) Bibliography : The thesis uses not only English sources, but also the editions available in Thai, Sinhalese and Burmese Scripts. The Bibliography covers detailed descriptions of the sources.

Thus, the objective of this thesis is to study Buddhappiya’s treatment of nouns, compounds and verbs. It is hoped that this would be the pioneer leading to the further study of remaining aspects of Rūpasiddhi.

In the translation part, the Pali sutta is preceded by teo numbers; the first number indicates the rule number in the Kaccāyana Vyākaraṇa, whereas the second one indicates the rule number according to Rūpasiddhi.


Now the topic about the nominal case-endings is being told.

‘Nāma’ is so called because (i) it tends towards the meaning and (ii) it brings (fetches) the meaning towards itself or in itself. That is a designation of matter. The noun is twofold : (i) Anvatthanāma (noun according to the sense) and (ii) Rūḷhināma (noun grown by tradition). It is threefold as : (i) masculine, (ii) feminine and (iii) neuter like rukkho (tree), mālā (garland), and dhanaṃ (wealth). It is fourfold as : (i) sāmaññanāma, (ii) guṇanāma, (iii) kiriyānāma and (iv) yadicchanāma. For example : - rukkho (tree), nīlo (dark blue), pācako (a cook), and sirivaḍḍho (rich in glory) etc. It is eightfold as : Avaṇṇantapakatināma (ending in ‘a’ or ‘ā’), Ivaṇṇantapakatināma (ending in ‘i’ or ‘ī’), Uvaṇṇantapakatināma (ending in ‘u’ or ‘ū’), Okārantapakatināma (ending in ‘O’), and Niggahitantapakatināma (ending in ‘aṃ’). In this context, the case endings ‘si’ etc. are applied first after the masculine word ‘purisa’ ending in ‘a’.

(The rules of Pāli grammar are) applicable to the words of the Conquerer.

This (vidhi) is adhikāra (governing). “Jina” is so called because he conquered five devils. That is the Lord Buddha. The word of the Conquerer is ‘jinavacana’. “Jinavacanayutta” means applicable to the word of that conquerer. (It was) applicable for Magadha’s language which is the original speech (sabhāvanirutti). That is the words of the Lord Buddha called ’the […] basic speech, and thus, it is governing rule.

“People in the ancient times, and Brahmā-s, (and children) who had never listened to the words before and also the Buddha-s spoke in Māgadhi language. It is the original language”.

The governing rules, however, are threefold : (i) sīhagatika adhikāra, (ii) Maṇḍūkagatika adhikāra, and (iii) yathānupubbika adhikāra. The ‘sīhagatika’ is so called because it can look forward and backward. Or that is also ‘yathānupubbika’. Making it different from Sanskrit, in order to prepare the foundation as suitable to the words of the Conquerer, the technical terminology is told (by the grammarian) : -

The gender is fixed.

Gender is not different from noun. The gender is determined here just as it is applicable to the discourse of the Lord Buddha. The roots (dhātu) also are (covered) by the word ‘ca’. Afterthat gender is so called by paribhāsā ‘parasamaññā payoge’. That is which has meaning separated from dhātu (root), paccaya (suffix), and vibhatti (case-ending). From here onwards in all the context of the rules regarding vibhatti and paccaya the word liṅga is understood (continued).

Case-endings are added after the genders.

By the force of ‘ca’ also the words ending in the suffixes tave, […] meaning of gender through kamma etc. and ekatta etc. Then, what are those case-endings ? The word vibhattiyo is governing :-

(55-63) Si-yo, aṃ-yo, nā-hi, sa-naṃ, smā-hi, sa-naṃ, smiṃ-su.

Section titled “(55-63) Si-yo, aṃ-yo, nā-hi, sa-naṃ, smā-hi, sa-naṃ, smiṃ-su.”

Si-yo, aṃ-yo, nā-hi, sa-naṃ, smā-hi, sa-naṃ, smiṃ-su are called vibhattis (case-endings).

Fourteen words beginning with ‘si’ are called vibhattis. In this context, si and yo belong to paṭhamā, aṃ and yo belong to dutiyā, nā and hi belong to tatiyā, sa and naṃ belong to catutthī, smā and hi belong to pañcamī, sa and naṃ belong to chaṭṭhi, smiṃ and su belong to sattamī. Among the saññāsutta, adhikārasutta, paribhāsāsutta and vidhisutta, the present sutta should be known as ‘saññāsutta’. In vutti, it is asked, “What is the use of the term ‘vibhatti’ ?” The reason is that we have the following rule :- “Amhassa mamaṃ savibhattissa se” (120-243).

Alternatively, this rule should be joined with the previous rules, for the reference to paṭhamā and ekavacana etc. should be understood according to the meaning or according to the technical term belonging to other grammatical tradition. Reference to one is called ‘ekavacana’. Reference to more than one is called ‘bahuvacana’. Completion of two is called ‘dutiyā’ and so on. Otherwise, on the force of ‘ca’ in the preceding rule, this would be irrelevant and meaningless rule. The rules ‘Jinavacanayuttaṃ hi’ (52-60) and ‘Liṅgaṃ ca nipaccate’ (53-61) are understood as continuing. However, the present sutta is composed separately to indicate that the declension also should be made keeping with the discourse of the Lord Buddha.

(The gender is fixed) according to the discourse of the Lord Buddha.

The gender as well as the verb by the force of ‘ca’ should be fixed as they do not go against the words of the Lord Buddha. And in this section as well as in the ākhyāta section, the dual is not accepted and the concerned grammatical operations of the terminations etc. are different from Sanskrit. In the context of the word-process in all the terminations beginning with ‘si’, it should be known that it is based on the desire of the speaker.

The nominative case (is) in the sense of gender.

The nominative case is just to indicate the gender. In that context, the pasaṅga of non-fixation of singular or plural arises; and as there is the technical term ‘ekavacana’ when a single one is to be spoken of, the nominative sing. ‘si’ is laid down, if the singularity of the liṅgattha is desired. The word ‘ato’ is continued from the rule ‘Ato nena’ (103-79) and also the word ‘liṅga’ is understood :-

(After stems ending in ‘a’), the case-ending ‘si’ becomes ‘o’.

This rule has two padas, that is, ‘si’ and ‘o’. After the gender ending ‘a’, ‘si’ becomes ‘o’. For, in the rule, the expressions shown in nominative are to be understood as changing into genitive case for grammatical substitution. In this context, ‘si’ means case-ending because the present […] sutta (rule) ‘Tato ca vibhattiyo’ (54-62). Similarly, elsewhere, when grammatical operation is to be made on ‘si’ etc., the word ‘vibhatti’ should be understood. The loss of the previous vowel is to be understood as an exception, when usually, the loss of the following vowel occurs according to ‘vā paro asarūpā’ (13-15).

(83-67) saralopo aṃ-ādesappaccaya-ādimhi saralope tu pakati.

Section titled “(83-67) saralopo aṃ-ādesappaccaya-ādimhi saralope tu pakati.”

The final vowel is elided when the case-ending ‘aṃ’, substitutes and suffixes follow; when, however, the vowel is elided, the word remains in its base form.

The final vowel is elided before case-ending ‘aṃ’, substitutes and suffixes; after the elision of the vowel, the word becomes the basic vocable. Here, the word ‘saralope’ is understood again in order to retain the base form when the modification of following vowel caused by the loss of vowel occurs. The expression ‘aṃ-ādesappaccayādibhūte sare pare’ is accomplished on the strength of the statement about the base form of the following vowel.

“In this context, by the word paccaya, the suffixes ‘ti’ etc. should be understood. The word ‘ādi’ is for inclusion of the verb, derivative etc. And the substitute is considered as base form due to being joined with the suffixes. Therefore, the final vowel is not elided, when ‘abhi’, ‘āha’ etc. follow”.

The word ‘tu’ in the rule is to exclude the loss of vowel in the expressions like ‘bhikkhunī’ etc. It should be carried towards the following […] purisa are purisā; and not ‘purisa purisa’ :-

Of many (padas) identical in form, only one is retained.

Out of the words or consonants having the same form, only one is retained; others are elided. ‘Asakiṃ’ means ekaseso. Now in this context, the expression ‘asakiṃ’ can be derived from the statement about ‘sarūpa’ words. Why again the word ‘asakiṃ’ is used ? The reply is as follows:- The word ‘asakiṃ’ refers to the padas having the same cases. And this word does not cover the expressions indicating repetition because the expressions of repetition are already accomplished through the word ‘pañcapañcaso’ belonging to the rule ‘vaggā pañcapañcaso mantā’ (7-9). Or alternatively, we may say that ‘ekaseso’ is applicable to the cases where there is reference to co-existents.

“By yogavibhāga, from the expressions ‘ekaseso’, and ‘asakiṃ’, we can have the reference to the virūpa ekasesa found in ‘pitūnaṃ’ etc.”

Similarly, when the plural of the liṅgattha is desired, the suffix ‘yo’ belonging to the nominative plural is added by, ‘bahumhi vattabbe bahuvacanaṃ’ (paribhāsā rule). In this context :- Purisa + yo. The words ‘ato ca’ are understood :-

‘Ā’ and ‘e’ are substituted for all yo-s and ni-s.

the strength of ‘vā’, ‘ā’ is understood. The word ‘sabba’ indicates the entire substitution. The vowel-elision etc. are similar to the preceding vidhi. Therefore, the following example is proved. Purisā tiṭṭhanti. The word ‘vā’ is continued; for we have rūpā rūpāni, aggayo munayo. The word ‘vā’ is in the sense of vavatthitavibhāsā.

’Therefore, in the masculine, this rule is fixed. In neuter, it is not fixed. But in the technical term ‘jha’ (i-vaṇṇa), the state of ‘e’ does not occur (asanta). This is indicated by vā.”

Similarly, when the vocative case is desired, the rule ‘Liṅgatthe paṭhamā’ (646-65) should be understood :-

(The nominative case is) also used in addressing a person.

‘Ālapanaṃ’ means speaking face to face. That is addressing. The ending of the first case is used to express the sense of addressing as well as to signify the sense of the crude form. Process of singular number etc. should be operated as before. In the context of ‘Purisa + si’ :-

In the vocative case the (suffix) ‘si’ is called ‘ga’.

In the vocative case, the case-ending ‘si’ is technically denominated as ‘ga’. Thus, this is the technical term ‘ga’. The word ‘ge’ from the rule ‘bho ge tu’ (243-110) is continued :-

The vowel ‘a’ and the final vowel of ‘pitu’ etc. (followed by ‘ga’) is changed into ‘ā’.

When ‘ga’ (vacative case-ending ‘si’) follows, the vowel ‘a’ and also the final of the words ‘pitu’, ‘satthu’ etc. are changed into ‘ā’. Now, the words ‘ge’ (from the rule ‘bho ge tu’ 243-110) and ‘rassaṃ’ (from the rule ‘jhalapā rassaṃ’ 245-152) are understood.

When ‘ga’ follows, vowel ‘ā’ belonging to gender is shortened optionally.

This is applicable only when address is made to one who is not at distance.

After remaining stems the nominative and vocative case- ending ‘si’ is elided.

The stems not included in the rules ‘so siṃ syā ca’ (189-113), ‘sakhato gasse vā’ (113-132) and ‘ghate ca’ (114-178) etc. are refered to by the word sesa. After these ‘sesa-s’ stems, ‘ga’ and ‘si’ are elided. The word ‘api’ is for including additional meaning. Now, in this context, even if ‘si’ includes ‘ga’ stems, ‘ga’ is mentioned separately to indicate that here ‘si’ does not include ‘ga’. The words ‘bhavanta’ or ‘he’ are to be applied by some grammarians for making ‘ālapana’ clearly. Bho purisa tiṭṭha or bho purisā. It is not different in plural :- Bhavanto purisā titthatha.

That which (an agent) does is called an ‘object’.

That kāraka which one does, changes or obtains and which is the sign of verb, is called ‘kamma’.

The second case-ending is used in the sense of object.

The ending of the second case is used in denoting the object. ‘Aṃ’ is belonging to the second case-ending (and) singular as previous. When the vowel is elided by the force of the word ‘saralopo’ (83-67) and when the lengthening is caused by the rule ‘dīghaṃ’ (15-17), the base form is retained. Purisaṃ passa. In plural, the case-ending ‘yo’ is changed into ‘e’ by the rule ‘sabbayonīnaṃ ā e’ (107-69). Purise passa. Similarly, it is desirable that the word ‘kattu’ should be defined :-

The doer of an action is called an agent.

One who himself does an action is called the agent. Now, the word ‘tatiyā’ (648-83) is understood :-

Also (the third case-ending is used) in denoting the agent.

The ending of the third case is used in denoting the agent too. Now about ‘nā’ belonging to the third case-ending, singular :-

After stems ending in ‘a’ the case-ending ‘nā’ becomes ‘ena’.

The case-ending is not denoted by the word ‘ena’. The case-ending ‘nā’ becomes ‘ena’ after stems ending in ‘a’. Saralopa etc. are applicable. Purisena kataṃ. Now regarding the plural number :-

The final ‘a’ becomes ‘e’ before ‘su’ and ‘hi’.

When the case-endings ‘su’ and ‘hi’ follow, the final ‘a’ which is related to gender becomes ‘e’.

(99-81) smā-hi-smiṃ-naṃ mhābhimhi vā.

Section titled “(99-81) smā-hi-smiṃ-naṃ mhābhimhi vā.”

The case-endings ‘smā’, ‘hi’, and ‘smiṃ’ are optionally changed into ‘mhā’, ‘bhi’ and ‘mhi’ respectively.

After all bases ‘smā’, ‘hi’ and ‘smiṃ’ are optionally changed into mhā, bhi and mhi respectively. Purisebhi purisehi kataṃ. Similarly, when the definition of karaṇa is desired :-

(279-82) Yena vā kariyate taṃ karaṇaṃ.

Section titled “(279-82) Yena vā kariyate taṃ karaṇaṃ.”

That by means of which action has been done is called ‘karaṇa’.

That by means of which something has been done, seen or heard is called Karaṇa (instrument).

The third case-ending is used in the sense of an instrument.

[…] The remaining (vidhi) is similar to that of kattā. For example :- Āviṭṭhena purisena so puññaṃ karoti. [He (god) makes merit for the men to whom he is living in (i.e. his body)]. Purisebhi puriṣehi. Similarly, when the definition of ‘sampadāna’ is desired :-

(276-84) Yassa dātukāmo rocate dhārayate vātaṃ sampadānaṃ.

Section titled “(276-84) Yassa dātukāmo rocate dhārayate vātaṃ sampadānaṃ.”

One to whom something is desired to be given, entertained or borne, is called ‘sampadāna’.

One to whom something is desired to be given, or one who entertains by something or one from whom something is borne is called the sampadāna kāraka.

The fourth case-ending is used in the sense of ‘sampadāna’ (dative case).

The fourth case-ending is used after a word denoting the recipient (dative case). The (case-ending) ‘sa’ is belonging to dative case, singular.

The sound ‘sa’ is inserted when the case-ending ‘sa’ follows.

After gender in all instances, when the case-ending ‘sa’ follows, the sound ‘sa’ is augmented. Purisassa dhanaṃ dadāti (He is giving wealth to a man). Now, in the context of plural, the word ‘dīghaṃ’ (15-17) is to be understood :-

vowel of stems, too becomes long.

These case-endings i. e. ‘su’, ‘naṃ’ and ‘hi’ having followed, all final vowels of stems are to be lengthened. By the force of ‘ca’, the rule becomes not applicable sometimes to the stems ending in ‘i’ and ‘u’. Now, when the definition of ‘apādāna’ is desired :-

(271-88) Yasmādapeti bhayamādatte vā taṃ apādānaṃ.

Section titled “(271-88) Yasmādapeti bhayamādatte vā taṃ apādānaṃ.”

From which someone goes away or fear arises, or something is received, is called ‘apādāna’.

The ablative case relation (apādānakāraka) signifies that from something someone goes away, fear arises, or something is received.

The fifth case-ending is used in the ablative case.

The endings of the fifth case are used to denote the ablative. The (case-ending) ‘smā’ belongs to pañcamī ekavacanaṃ. Now, the words ‘ato’ (103-79) and ‘sabbesaṃ ā e’ (107-69) are understood :-

(After stems ending in ‘a’) the case-endings ‘smā’ and ‘smiṃ’ optionally (become ‘ā’ and ‘e’ respectively).

After stems ending in ‘a’, these case-endings ‘smā’ and ‘smiṃ’ sometimes, are substituted by ‘ā’, and ‘e’ respectively. Similarly, sometimes in other (examples), ‘smā’ is changed into ‘mhā’. For example :- Purisā, purisamhā, purisasmā apeti. In bahuvacana, all case-endings are similar to ‘bhi’. For example :- purisebhi, purisehi apeti. Now about the definition of sāmī :-

(283-91) Yassa vā pariggaho taṃ sāmī.

Section titled “(283-91) Yassa vā pariggaho taṃ sāmī.”

One to whom something belongs, is called the owner.

One to whom some property belongs is called ‘sāmi’ (an owner).

The sixth case-ending is used in the sense of the owner.

The endings of the sixth case are used in denoting the owner (in the genitive case). In all instances, there is similar form of catutthī and chaṭṭhī except when there is the substitute ‘āya’. “Purisassa etaṃ dhanaṃ, purisānaṃ”. Now about the definition of ‘okāsa’ :-

That which is the site is called ‘okāsa’ (location).

The site of an action of agent and object is called the Kāraka okāsa (location).

The seventh case-ending is used in the sense of location.

The endings of the seventh case are used in denoting location. ‘Smiṃ’ is belonging to seventh case-ending and singular. It is changed into ‘e’ by the rule ‘smā smiṃnaṃ vā’ (108-90). And it becomes ‘mhi’. For example :- purise, purisamhi, purisasmiṃ patiṭṭhitaṃ. There is the vowel ‘e’ in purisebhi purisehi; purisassa, purisānaṃ; purisā purisamhā purisasmā, purisebhi, purisehi; purisassa, purisānaṃ; purise, purisamhi, purisasmiṃ, purisesu. Similar is the declension of the following words :- sugato, sugatā; bho sugata or bho sugatā, bhavanto sugatā; sugataṃ; sugate; sugatena sugatebhi, sugatehi; sugatassa, sugatānaṃ; sugatā sugatamhā sugatasmā, sugatebhi sugatehi; sugatassa, sugatānaṃ; sugate sugatamhi sugatasmiṃ sugatesu. Thus :-

“Sura (god), asura (demon), nara (man), uraga (snake), nāga (serpent), yakkha /, gandhabba (divine musician), kinnara (a divine little bird with a head like man’s), manussa (man), pisāca (goblin), peta (ghost spirit) /, mātaṅga (elephant), jaṅgama, turaṅga (horse), varāha (boar, pig), sīha (lion)/, byaggha (tiger), accha (bear), kacchapa (tortoise), taraccha (hyena), miga (deer), assa (horse), soṇa (dog)/, āloka (light), loka (world), nilaya (dwelling), anila (wind), cāga (donation), yoga, / vāyāma (perserverance), gāma (village), nigama (small town), āgama (scripture), dhamma (doctrine), kāma (desiring), / saṅgha (group of monks), ogha (a flood of water), ghosa (sound), paṭigha (repulsion), āsava (canker), kodha (anger), lobha (greed),/ sārambha, thambha (rigidity), mada (vanity), māna (conceit), pamāda (heedlessness), makkha (detraction), / punnāga (species of tree), pūga (betel nut tree), panasa (the jackor tree), asana (the tree pentaptera tomentosa), campaka (the campaka tree), amba (mango tree), / hintāla (a kind of palm), tāla (the palmyra tree), bakula (the tree mimusops […] tree (creeper), / mandāra (the coral tree), kunda (the jasmine), pucimanda (the nimba tree), karanja (the tree pongamia glabra), rukkha (tree), / mayura (peacock), sakuṇa (bird), aṇḍaja (egg born), koñca (the heron), and haṃsa (swan) etc.”

But there is the distinction of the words mano etc. in the case-endings ‘nā’, ‘sa’, ‘smā’ and ‘smiṃ’. In other (case-endings) they are similar to ‘purisa’. For example :- mano, manā; ‘he mana or he manā’ ; Bhavanto manā, manaṃ, mane. The word vā is understood in the following :-

(181-95) Manogaṇādito smiṃnānaṃ i - ā.

Section titled “(181-95) Manogaṇādito smiṃnānaṃ i - ā.”

After the words of the mano group etc. the case-endings ‘smiṃ’ and ‘nā’ are optionally changed into ‘i’ and ‘ā’ respectively.

The group (of words) beginning with the word ‘mano’ is called ‘manogaṇa’. After the words of mano group etc. the case-endings ‘smiṃ’ and ‘nā’ are optionally changed into ‘i’ and ‘ā’ respectively. Because of the word ‘ādi’ also the words ‘bila’, ‘pada’ etc. are included. The word ‘manogaṇādito’ is to be understood in the following :-

When a vowel follows, ‘sa’ is (optionally) augmented (to the words of the mano group etc.)

‘sa’ is optionally augmented to the words of the mano group etc. if a vowel of a case-ending follows :- ‘manasā, manena etc.’. The word ‘vā’ indicates vavatthitavibhāsā. Therefore, in the examples :- mano manā manaṃ mane manaāyatanaṃ etc., ‘sa’ is not augmented. In (the examples):- ‘[…] mānasikaṃ, cetasikaṃ’ etc. ‘sa’ is obligatory.’ manebhi, manehi. The word ‘vā’ is understood in the following :-

(After the words of the mano-group etc.) ‘sa’ is changed into ‘o’.

The case-ending ‘sa’ is optionally changed into ‘o’ after words of the mano-group etc. (and) ‘sa’ is augmented. For example :- manaso, manassa manānaṃ; manā, manamhā, manasmā manebhi, manehi; manaso manassa, manānaṃ; manasi mane manamhi manasmiṃ, manesu. The following words, together with others, are included in the manogaṇa :-

“vaco (speech), vayo (age), tejo (spendour), / tapo (penance), ceto (mind), tamo (darkness), yaso (fame, glory),/ ayo (iron), payo (milk), siro (head), chando (intention), / saro (pool), uro (breast), raho (secret), aho (day) etc.”.

The differense about the word guṇavantu is :- ‘guṇavantu + si’. The words ‘savibhattissa ntussanto’ (120-243) and ‘sabbasseva ntussa’ (122-99) are governing in the following :-

When (the suffix ‘ntu’) is followed by the case-ending ‘si’, it is changed into ‘ā’ (together with the case-ending).

If the case-ending ‘si’ follows, the entire ‘ntu’ suffix with the case-ending is changed into ‘ā’ :- ‘guṇavā’ etc. The words ‘yomhi paṭhame’ (121-233) and ‘vā’ (123-103) are understood by ‘sīhagati’ (looking forward and backword), in the following :-

When the suffix ‘ntu’ is followed by the first case-ending ‘yo’, it is changed into ‘nto’ together with the case-ending.

The first case-ending ‘yo’ having followed, the entire ‘ntu’ suffix with the case-ending becomes changed into ‘nto’ :- ‘guṇavanto tiṭṭhanti’. The words ‘su-naṃ hisu’ (89-87) and ‘attaṃ’ (90-252) are understood in the following :-

The final vowel of the suffix ‘ntu’ followed by the case- endings ‘su’, ‘naṃ’, ‘hi’ and ‘yo’, is also (changed into ‘a’).

The case-endings i.e. su, naṃ, hi and yo, having followed, the final of the suffix ‘ntu’ too, is changed into ‘a’. By the force of ‘ca’, other case-endings also are included i. e. aṃ, nā, smā, and smiṃ. Thus :- ‘guṇavantā’. When the substitution of the ending had completed by sixth case-ending, and again ‘yo’ is to be changed into ‘i’ because of the force of the word ‘anta’ :- ‘guṇavanti’. The word ‘aṃ’ (125-198) is understood in the following :-

When (the suffix ‘ntu’) is followed by the case ending ‘ga’ (it is changed into (‘aṃ’) a, and ā (together with the case-ending.)

If the case-ending ‘ga’ follows, the entire ‘ntu’ together with the case-ending is changed into ‘aṃ’, a and ā :- bho guṇavaṃ, bho guṇava, bho guṇavā, bhavanto guṇavanto guṇavantā; guṇavantaṃ, guṇavante. The

(when the suffix ‘ntu’ is) followed by the case endings sa, smiṃ, and nā, it is (optionally) changed into ‘to’, ‘ti’ and ‘tā’.

When sa, smiṃ and nā follow, the entire ‘ntu’ suffix together with the case-ending optionally becomes ‘To’, ‘Ti’ and ‘Tā’ respectively. ‘Guṇavatā, guṇavantena, guṇavantebhi, guṇavantehi’.

(When the suffix ‘ntu’) is followed by the case ending ‘sa’, it is optionally changed into ‘ntassa’.

If the case-ending ‘sa’ follows, the entire suffix ‘ntu’ together with the case-ending becomes optionally changed into ‘ntassa’. Guṇavantassa guṇavanto.

When (the suffix ‘ntu’) is followed by the case ending ‘naṃ’, it is optionally changed into ‘taṃ’.

If the case-ending ‘naṃ’ follows, the entire suffix ‘ntu’ together with the case-ending is optionally changed into ‘taṃ’. Guṇavataṃ guṇavantānaṃ. The case-ending ‘smā’ is changed into ‘nā’ by the rule ‘amhatumhantu’ (270-120) etc. “Guṇavatā guṇavantā guṇavantamhā guṇavantasmā, guṇavantebhi guṇavantehi; guṇavantassa gunavato, guṇavataṃ guṇavantānaṃ; guṇavati guṇavante guṇavantamhi guṇavantasmiṃ, guṇavantesu”. Similar are the words ’guṇavā, kulavā, phalavā, yasavā, dhanavā, sutavā, cāgavā, himavā, balavā, sīlavā, paññavā etc. When the suffix ‘si’ follows the word (90-250), ntussanto (122-99) are to be made.

(The final vowel of suffix ‘ntu’) when followed by the case-ending ‘si’ is optionally (changed into vowel ‘a’).

If the case-ending ‘si’ follows, the final of the suffix ‘ntu’ is optionally changed into ‘a’. Thus the ‘a ending’ is applicable here :- ‘himavanto, himavā’. The remaining forms are like those of the word ‘guṇavantu’. The word ‘vā’ is to be understood again for avoiding ‘a ending’ in the cases of the words other than ‘himavantu’. Therefore,, there is not the fault of ‘atipasaṅga’ in the cases of words guṇavantu etc. Similarly:- ‘satimā, dhitimā, gatimā, matimā, mutimā, muttimā, jutimā, sirimā, hirimā, thutimā, ratimā, yatimā, sucimā, kalimā, balimā, kasimā, rucimā, buddhimā, cakkhumā, bandhumā, hetumā, setumā, ketumā, rāhuma, bhāṇumā, khāṇumā, vijjumā etc.’ There are different forms of satimantu and bandhumantu when the suffixes ‘aṃ’ and ‘sa’ follow. The words ‘attaṃ’ (90-250) and ‘ntussa’ (123-103) are understood in the following :-

The entire suffix ‘ntu’, when followed by the case-endings ‘aṃ’ and ‘sa’ is optionally (changed into the vowel ‘a’.)

When the case-endings ‘aṃ’ and ‘sa’ follow, the entire suffix ‘ntu’ is optionally changed into ‘a’. In this rule also, the expression of the word ‘vā’ does no make ‘atippasaṅga’ because there is vavatthitavibhāsā :- satimaṃ, satimantaṃ, bandhumaṃ, bandhumantaṃ, satimassa satimato satimantassa, bandhumassa bandhumato bandhumantassa. The remaining forms […] are alike. Now, the difference in the case of the word ‘gacchanta’ :- ‘gacchanta-si’. The word vā is understood :-

(186-107) Simhi gacchantādīnaṃ ntasaddo aṃ.

Section titled “(186-107) Simhi gacchantādīnaṃ ntasaddo aṃ.”

The part ‘nta’ belonging to gacchanta etc. followed by the case-ending ‘si’ is changed into ‘aṃ’.

If the case-ending ‘si’ follows, ‘nta’ of gacchanta etc. is optionally changed into the form ‘aṃ’. The vowel and the case-ending ‘si’ are elided:- So gacchaṃ/ gacchanto gaṇhāti. When the words ‘gacchantādīnaṃ’ and ‘ntasaddo’ are understood :-

(‘Nta’ of gacchanta etc.) followed by the other case-endings is to be treated as ‘ntu’.

When the other case-endings follow, the ‘nta’ of gacchanta etc. is to be treated like the suffix ‘ntu’. In absence of ‘si’, this is extended into kāriya. The remaining forms are similar to ‘guṇavantu’. “Te gacchanto gacchantā; bho gacchaṃ bho gaccha bho gacchā, bhavanto gacchanto gacchantā; (gacchaṃ) gacchantaṃ, gacchante; gacchantā gacchantena, gacchantebhi gacchantehi; gacchato gacchantassa, gacchataṃ gacchantānaṃ; gacchatā gacchantamhā gacchantasmā, gacchantebhi gacchantehi; gacchato gacchantassa, gacchataṃ gacchantānaṃ; gacchati gacchante gacchantamhi gacchantasmiṃ, gacchantesu.

“mahaṃ, caraṃ, tiṭṭhaṃ, / dadaṃ, bhuñjaṃ, suṇaṃ, pacaṃ, /
jayaṃ, jīraṃ, vacaṃ, mīyaṃ, / saraṃ, kubbaṃ, japaṃ, vajaṃ” etc.

‘ga’, ‘yo’, ‘nā’ and ‘sa’ follow :- so bhavaṃ. The word ‘bhavato’ is to be understood :-

(The ‘va’ of bhavanta) followed by the case-ending ‘yo’ is sometimes changed into ‘o’.

When the case-ending ‘yo’ follows, the sound ‘va’ of bhavanta sometimes, becomes ‘o’. Te bhonto bhavanto bhavantā. The word ‘bhavato’ is to be understood in the following :-

(The word ‘bhavanta’) followed by ‘ga’ is also changed into ‘bho’.

When ‘ga’ (vocative case-ending si) follows, the entire word bhavanta is changed into ‘bho’. It is also substituted by ‘bhante’ and ‘bhontā’ etc. by the word ‘tu’. The ‘ga’ is elided. Bho bhante bhonta bhontā, bhonto bhavanto bhavantā; bhavantaṃ, bhonte bhavante. It becomes ‘o’ when case-endings ‘nā’ and ‘sa’ follow, by yogavibhāga “Obhāvo kvaci” (244-109). Bhotā bhavatā bhavantena, bhoto bhavato bhavantassa etc.

The word ‘bhadanta’ is substituted by bhaddanta, bhante.

When ‘ga’ (vocative case-ending si) and ‘yo’ follow, the entire word ‘bhavanta’ is sometimes changed into bhaddanta and bhante. Bho bhaddanta bhante bhadanta or bhadantā etc. is similar to the word ‘purisa’.

is also augmented at the end of it.

If ‘bha’ follows, the entire word ‘santa’ is changed into ‘sa’, and ‘bha’ is also augmented at the end of it. By the force of ‘ca’, sometimes, in a compound, though it is not followed by ‘bha’ it is changed into ‘sa’. Sabbhi. What is the purpose of ‘bhe’ ? For in the word ‘santehi’, this substitute is not found. The remaining forms are similar to those of gacchanta. There is the difference in the forms of the words rāja, brahma, atta, sakha etc. Similarly, the case-ending ‘si’ is continued. Rāja + si :- The rule “brahmattasakharājādito” (188-115) is governing :-

The case-ending ‘si’ becomes ‘ā’.

Section titled “(84-144) Agho rassaṃ ekavacana-yosu api ca.”

And when the singular number and the case-ending ‘yo’ follow, (the final vowel) other than ‘gha’ also becomes short.

When the singular number and the case-ending ‘yo’ follow, the final vowel of stems except the vowel ‘ā’ called ‘gha’ becomes short. Thus it is shortened. By the force of ‘api’, the case-ending ‘si’ is prevented. The remaining process is usual. Sā tiṭṭhanti; he sa he sā; saṃ se; sena, sābhi sāhi; sassa sāya, sānaṃ; sā samhā sasmā, sābhi sāhi; sassa, sānaṃ; se samhi sasmiṃ, sāsu. Similarly the words paccakkhadhammā, gaṇḍīvadhanvā etc. should be declined.

(The treatment of) ā-ending (words is complete here).

[…] The word ‘aggi’, i - ending masculine. The case-endings si etc. are applied. Aggi + si. The words ‘anto’ (122-99) and ‘simhi vā (94-105)’ are understood :-

(The final) of ‘aggi’ is changed into ‘ini’.

And after the stems gha, and pa, the case-ending ‘yo’ is dropped.

The case-ending ‘yo’ is optionally elided after gha, pa, and the vowel ‘ā’, ‘i’ vaṇṇa and ‘u’ vaṇṇa which express the feminine gender, and which are called ‘jha’ and ‘la’. The word ‘vā’ is understood in the sense of vavatthitavibhāsā.

(88-147) Yosu kata-nikāra-lopesu dīghaṃ.

Section titled “(88-147) Yosu kata-nikāra-lopesu dīghaṃ.”

When ‘yo’ follows, after elision of ‘ni’ (the final) is lengthened.

When ‘yo’ endings follow, after dropping of ‘ni’ all final short vowels belonging to stems are lengthened. “Kata-nikāra-lopo” means those from which ‘ni’ is elided. Aggi. The word ‘attaṃ’ from the rule “pañcādīnamattaṃ” (90-252) is understood in the following :-

Before, the case-endings ‘yo’ the ‘jha’, if not shortened (is changed into ‘a’).

When the case endings ‘yo’ follow, jha (i or ī) which has not been shortened is changed into ‘a’. Aggayo. Why jho ? For, this is not applicable to ‘rattiyo’. Similarly, in the vocative case-ending :- he aggi, he aggī he aggayo. In the context of accusative singular, when the preceding vowel (in sandhi) is to be elided :-

(82-149) Aṃ-mo niggahitaṃ jha-la-pehi.

Section titled “(82-149) Aṃ-mo niggahitaṃ jha-la-pehi.”

The (case-ending) ‘aṃ’ and the (sound) ‘ma’ after jha, la, or pa are changed into niggahita.

After jha, la, or pa (the bases ending in i - vaṇṇa, and u - vaṇṇa), the case-ending ‘aṃ’ and the sound ‘ma’ are changed into niggahita. Aggiṃ. aggī aggayo; agginī aggībhi aggīhi. By the force of ‘ca’ in the rule “su-naṃ-hi-su ca” (89-87), there is no lengthening in some cases :- aggibhi aggihi. Genitive suffix is changed into ‘no’ by the rule “jhalato sassa no vā (117-124)”. According to ‘sassa no’ (117-124), here the genitive suffix preceded by ‘jhala’ changes into ‘no’. Aggino aggissa, aggīnaṃ. When the rule ‘smā nā’ (214-128) is applied, it is changed into ‘nā’ optionally by the rule ‘jhalato ca’ (215-141). For example :- agginā aggimhā aggismā, aggībhi aggīhi aggibhi aggihi; aggino aggissa, aggīnaṃ; aggimhi aggismiṃ, aggīsu aggisu. Similar other words :-

Joti pāṇi gaṇḍi muṭṭhi Kucchi vatthi sāli vīhi

urudhiti varamati nirupadhi adhipati
anjali sārathi atithi samādhi udadhi etc.

(Here end) the words ending in ‘i’.


The ī-ending masculine word daṇḍī. Now, regarding daṇḍī + si :- By the rule “agho rassaṃ ekavacana-yo-su api ca (84-144)” when the vowel becomes short, by the force of ‘api’ in this context, it is not applicable when ‘si’ follows; this is, therefore, being told as a general rule.. Now, when ‘shortening’ is applicable :-

When (the case-ending) ‘si’ follows, (the final vowels of) non-neuter words do not (become short).

The case-ending ‘si’ having followed, (the final vowels of) non-neuter words only do not become short. Thus the absence of shortening is laid down. The case-ending ‘si’ is dropped. Daṇḍī tiṭṭhati (There is a staff-bearer). Why a-napuṃsakāni ? For in the usages like sukhakāri dānaṃ (Gift makes one happy), the shortening remains.

“Liṅga is that which is the hetu of knowing masculine
etc. indicates through direct or indirect use.”

[…] staff-bearers). Elsewhere, when the vowel becomes short by the rule ‘agho rassaṃ etc. (84-144)’, the word ‘jhato’ (224-153) and ‘katarassā’ (224-153)’ are understood in the following :-

The case-ending ‘yo’ is changed into ‘no’.

After ‘jha’ which has been shorthened, the entire case-ending ‘yo’ together with ālapana is changed into ‘no’. Daṇḍino tiṭṭhanti (There are staff-bearers). Why Katarassa ? For, the rule does not apply to ‘aggayo’.

“In the place of governing (rule) the case-ending ‘yo’
is sometimes changed into ‘no’ regarding the base which
has not been shortened; this is done by yogavibhāga
for example ’sāramatino.”

The words ‘ālapane’ and ‘ga’ (57-71) are understood in the following :-

The jha, la, and pa are shortened.

The jha, la and pa followed by ‘ga’ (vocative case-ending si) are shortened. Bho daṇḍi (o, staff-bearer). By the rule ‘agho rassaṃ’ (84-144) etc. when (the final vowel) becomes short it is stated anew for universal application (niyama). Therefore, in the examples like ‘bhotī’ etc. it is not shortened. daṇḍī daṇḍino. In the accusative, when there is shortening, the word ‘aṃ’ (223-188) is understood. The word ‘vā’ from the rule ‘ghapato smiṃ yaṃ vā’ (216-180) is to be understood by ‘maṇḍūkagati’.

After ‘jha’ which has been shortened (the case-ending ‘aṃ’) is changed into ‘naṃ’.

chattī mālī cammī yogī bhāgī bhogī kāmī sāmī
dhajī gaṇī sasī kuṭṭhī jaṭī yānī sukhī sikhī
dantī mantī karī cāgī kusalī musalī calī
pāpakārī sattughāṭī mālyakārī dīghajīvī
dhammavādī sīhanādī bhūmisāyī sīghayāyī etc.”

The word ‘gāmanī’ is declined differently in the locative. Gāmaṇī, […] The difference is only in the absence of the substitute ‘ni’. Similar are the words senānī, sudhī etc.

(Here end) the stems ending in ‘ī’.


U-ending masculine word ‘bhikkhu’. Similarly, ‘si’ should be joined after the word bhikkhu. The case-ending ‘si’ is elided. So bhikkhu (That monk).

After ‘la’ (the case-ending ‘yo’) becomes ‘vo’ too.

After the ‘la’ stems, the case-ending ‘yo’ is optionally changed into ‘vo’. And by the force of ‘kāra’ the case-ending ‘yo’ is changed into ‘no’. The word ‘ca’ is used for non-application in some words. And optionally, the word ‘ca’ is used to pull the word ‘no’. By that, after the words jantu and sabbaññū the case-ending ‘yo’ is also changed into ‘no’. The word ‘vā’ is in the sense of vavatthitavibhāsā. Therefore :-

“The case-ending ‘yo’ is always changed into ‘vo’ after
the words bhikkhu etc. It is applied by vibhāsā to the
words hetu etc. And it is not changed into ‘vo’ and

[…] The words ‘attaṃ’ (90-252) and ‘a-kata-rassa’ (96-146) are understood in the following :-

Before ‘ve’ and ‘vo’, the ‘la’ is changed (into ‘a’).

‘Ve’ or ‘vo’ having followed, ‘la’ (u, ū) which has not been shortened is also changed into ‘a’. Bhikkhavo. Bho bhikkhu, bhavanto bhikkhū. Now, when ‘yo’ is not elided :-

(116-157) A-kata-rassā lato yo ālapanassa ve-vo.

Section titled “(116-157) A-kata-rassā lato yo ālapanassa ve-vo.”

After the stems ending in ‘la’ (u, ū) which are not shortened, the vocative case-ending ‘yo’ is changed into ‘ve’ and ‘vo’.

The vocative case-ending ‘yo’ becomes ‘ve’ and ‘vo’ after the stems ending in ‘la’ (u, ū) which are not shortened. The state of ‘a’ is applied. Bhavanto bhikkhave bhikkhavo. By the rule ‘ammo niggahitaṃ jha-la-pehi’ (82-149), (the case-ending) ‘aṃ’) is changed into ‘niggahita’. Bhikkhuṃ, bhikkhū bhikkhavo; bhikkhunā, bhikkhūbhi bhikkhūhi, bhikkhuno bhikkhussa, bhikkhūnaṃ bhikkhunaṃ; bhikkhunā bhikkhumhā bhikkhusmā, bhikkhūbhi bhikkhūhi bhikkhubhi bhikkhuhi; bhikkhuno bhikkhussa, bhikkhūnaṃ bhikkhunaṃ; bhikkhumhi bhikkusmiṃ, bhikkhūsu bhikkhusu. Similarly :-

“setu ketu rāhu bhāṇu saṅku ucchu veḷu maccu
sindhu bandhu neru meru sattu kāru hetu jantu
ruru paṭu etc.”

[…] There is difference in Nominative and Accusative in the declensions hetū hetave hetavo; hetuṃ, hetū hetavo hetuyo. The remaining forms are like those of the word ‘bhikkhu’. Jantu, jantū jantavo. By understanding the word ‘kāra’ (119-155), the case-ending ‘yo’ is also changed into ‘no’. Jantuno jantuyo; bho jantu, jantū jantave jantavo; jantuṃ, jantu jantavo jantuno jantuyo etc. Now, regarding the difference of the word satthu :- Regarding ‘satthu + si’ :- The word ‘anto’ is understood :-

“Purisa guṇavā rājā sā aggi daṇḍī bhikkhu
satthā abhibhū sabbaññū and go.”

(The treatment of) masculine words is over.

Now, (after the masculine gender) the words of the feminine gender are being told. The a-ending feminine word has not a literary occurance. The ā-ending feminine word ‘kaññā’. When the stem ‘kañña’ is formed:-

After a stem ending in ‘a’, the suffix ‘ā’ is used in the feminine gender.

The suffix ‘ā’ is used after a stem ending in ‘a’, in feminine gender.

“The feminine suffixes indicating basic meaning are like
si etc. Ṇa etc. are indicative of the meanings of suffixes
together with the basic meaning.”

First, by the rule ‘saralopo etc.’ the preceding vowel is elided and it is taken to the place of latter sound. Now, as it is told that ‘dhātupaccayavibhattivajjitaṃ atthavaṃ liṅgaṃ’, the case-ending does not indicate gender. Thus, the application of case-ending does not occur. By the word ‘ca’ in the rule ‘taddhita-samāsa-kitakā-nāmaṃ vā tavetūnādīsu ca’ (601-319), the stem with a feminine suffix also is called nāma. The application of ‘si’ etc. should be known as earlier.

Also after stems ending in ‘gha’, (‘ga’) is changed into ‘e’.

After ‘gha’ stems (feminine stems ending in ‘ā’) ‘ga’ is also changed into ‘e’. Saralopa etc. are applied. Bhoti kaññe, bhotiyo kaññā kaññāyo (O you girls). In the accusative singular, due to saralopa and pakatibhāva, we have kaññaṃ, kaññā kaññāyo. Now, regarding the third case-ending etc. the words ‘āya’ and ‘ekavacanaṃ’ from the rule ‘āya catuttha-ekavacanānaṃ’ (109-295) are understood.

After ‘gha’, nā etc. are substituted (by āya).

Those occuring at the end of feminine stems are called ‘pa’.

“Itthikhyā” means the term known as feminine. Those the ‘i’ vaṇṇa and ‘u’ vaṇṇa occuring at the end of feminine stems are called ‘pa’. Thus, the technical term ‘pa’ is applied. The case-ending ‘yo’ is elided by the rule ‘ghapato ca’ (118-146). By the rule ‘yosu kata etc.’ (88-147), lengthening is applied. Rattī rattiyo or ratyo; he ratti, he rattī he rattiyo.

The ‘pa’ stem is also changed (into ‘ya’).

[…] A vowel-substitute of the case-ending ‘yo’ or of a singular case-ending having followed, the ‘i’ vaṇṇa belonging to ‘pa’ is also changed into ‘ya’. Moreover, in this context, the sound ‘ya’ only is governing. By the force of the technical term ‘pa’ only the ‘i’ vaṇṇa is to be taken. The word ‘ca’ is used to reject the rule in the cases of ‘ratto’ etc. Ratyā singular the substitutes ‘aṃ’ and ‘ya’ are applicable. Ratyaṃ.

These have three genders because they are called ‘sabbanāma-s’. When it indicates a specific gender, namely, masculine, the declension is as follows. In this context, the word ‘sabba’ means ‘all’. The case-endings ‘si’ etc. should be applied as before. By the rule ‘so’ (104-66), the case-ending ‘si’ is changed into ‘o’. Saralopa, paranaya etc. are to be applied. Sabbo jano (All people).

Nāma’s belonging to all (sabba) of the three masculine, feminine and neuter, nouns are ‘sabba-nāma-s’. The first case-ending ‘yo’ used after ‘a’ of all those genders-technically called ‘sabba-nāma-s’ is changed into ‘e’. Sabbe purisā (All men). Why ‘akārato’ is used ? Because this is not found in the following :- sabbā amū, he sabba sabbā, he sabbe; sabbaṃ, sabbe; subbena, sabbebhi sabbehi. When for Dative singular the substitute ‘āya’ is laid down :- The words ‘ato’ (103-79), ‘ā e’ (107-69) ‘smāsmiṃnaṃ’ (108-90) and ‘āya catutthekavacanassa’ (109-295) are understood in the following :-

After pronominal stems, the three are not changed.

The case-endings smā, smiṃ do not become ā, e and āya after pronouns ending in ‘a’. Thus, ‘āya’ substitute is forbidden. The word ‘ca’ is used to reject this for some cases. By that, after ‘pubba’ etc. the case-endings smā and smiṃ become ā and e also. Sabbassa. The words ‘akāro’ and ‘e’ are understood in the following :-

Before the case-ending ‘naṃ’ (the final vowel ‘a’) of pronominal stems too (becomes ‘e’).

Now, regarding feminine gender :- by the rule ‘itthiyaṃ ato āpaccayo’ (237-176) the suffix ‘ā’ is applied. Remaining declension except the case-ending sa, naṃ, smiṃ is similar to the word kaññā. Sabbā pajā (All people) -, sabbā sabbāyo; he sabbe, he sabbā he sabbāyo; sabbaṃ, sabbā sabbāyo; sabbāya, sabbābhi sabbāhi.

Sabbassā sabbāya, sabbāsaṃ sabbāsānaṃ; sabbāya, sabbābhi sabbāhi; sabbassā sabbāya, sabbāsaṃ sabbāsānaṃ. Now, regarding the case-endings ‘smiṃ’ :- the words ‘sabbanāmato’ (164-200) and ‘ghapa-saññāto’ (179-204) are understood :-

After the pronouns (‘gha’ and ‘pa’) the case-ending ‘smiṃ’ does not […] become ‘āya’ and ‘yā’.

After ‘gha’ and ‘pa’ pronouns, the case-ending ‘smiṃ’ is not changed into ‘āya’ and ‘yā’. Thus, the āya-substitute is forbidden. By the governing ‘vā’, it sometimes (becomes ‘āya’). For example :- dakkhiṇāya uttarāya etc. The sound ‘saṃ’ is changed into ‘yaṃ’. Sabbassaṃ sabbāyaṃ, sabbāsu. Now, regarding the neuter gender :- ’sabbaṃ cittaṃ (entire consciousness), sabbāni; he sabba, he sabbāni; sabbaṃ, sabbāni. The remaining should be known like the masculine.

In the relative compounds too.

In the relative compound too the other pronominal operations do not hold good. Piyapubbāya, piyapubbānaṃ; piyapubbe. By the force of ‘ca’, […] the pronominal operations are applicable in the bahubbīhi made of the pronouns in the sense of direction. Dakkhiṇapubbassaṃ (and) dakkhiṇapubbassā are the bahubbīhi compounds in the sense of space between the South and the East. Similarly, uttarapubbassaṃ, uttarapubbassā etc. The vocative form of the words ya, ta, eta etc. is not possible. The word ‘ya’ is used in the sense of uncertain one.

“[O māṇava, I am not grieving. I am not crying due
to having listened to your (speeches).” “O great king
who enlarges the kingdom, (danger will not happen) to

Moreover, the words from ‘pañca’ to ‘aṭṭhādasa’, the word ‘kati’ being without specific gender, have the same form in all genders. Just due to having no specific gender, the absence of feminine suffixes after ‘pañca’ etc. is proved.

(Here ends) Nāma-kaṇḍa,
the second chapter in the Rūpasiddhi.


Samāsakaṇḍa (the chapter on compound)

Section titled “Samāsakaṇḍa (the chapter on compound)”

Now, samāsa is based on nouns, because samāsa is made of nouns connected with each other. Moreover, samāsa itself has the characteristic of a noun. Therefore, ‘samāsa’ is being told after nouns. And from the point of view of nomenclatures (saññā) it is sixfold :- i) abyayībhāva, ii) kammadhāraya, iii) digu, iv) tappurisa, v) bahubbīhi and vi) dvandva. In this context, firstly, the abyayībhāva samāsa is being told. And that is niccasamāsa; so its analysis can not be done by its own pada-s. Regarding ‘upa-nagaraṃ’, after the word ‘upa’ the nominative singular case-ending ‘si’ is applied. That (case-ending) is preceded by upasagga, therefore, it is dropped by the rule ‘sabbāsaṃ āvuso-upasagganipātādīhi ca’ (221-282). After the word ‘nagara’, the genitive singular case-ending ‘sa’ is applied. When by using external word, the analysis is done as : nagarassa samīpaṃ :- The rule ‘nāmānaṃ samāso yuttattho’ (316-316), is to be understood everywhere in the process of samāsa.

(319-315) Upasagganipātapubbako abyayībhāvo.

Section titled “(319-315) Upasagganipātapubbako abyayībhāvo.”

‘Abyayībhāva’ has upasagga or nipāta as first member.

The noun having combined meaning, preceded by upasagga or nipāta, is always compounded with those upasagga or nipāta and such a samāsa is technically called ‘abyayībhāva’. Or in this context, the rules laying down the nomenclatures ‘abyayībhāva’ etc. themselves are to be known as defining the compounds through the laying down of those nomenclatures. Here, the word ‘abyaya’ is the technical term for upasagga and nipāta. The ‘abyayībhāva’ is so called because it makes the meaning of abyaya-s clear […] without changing by the differences in gender and number. Or, abyayībhāva means turning the non-abyaya into abyaya, as the sense of abyaya precedes.

The combined sense of nouns is called ‘samāsa’.

The combined sense of the meanings of nouns is technically called ‘samāsa’ (combined sense). The other (combined sense) is known as ‘vākyaṃ’. ‘Nāmas’ are the words which end with the case-endings beginning with ‘si’. ‘Samāsa’ is so called as it is derived from the verb ‘samassate’. The meaning of samassate is ‘that which abbreviates (saṅkhipiyati)’.

And it is told : -

“Samāsa is the abbreviation of padas; Taddhita is the
collection of padas & suffix. In this way the difference
between them should be understood.”

And, the compounding in the case of samāsa is twofold i) the compounding of words and ii) the compounding of meanings. In luttasamāsa both these compoundings are found completely. But in ‘aluttasamāsa’ only the compounding of meanings is found because the vibhatti-suffixes are not dropped. Or even in that, both compoundings are found because there also both the padas go to the state of a single pada. For, the purpose of a samāsa is twofold : i) to make a single pada and ii) a single case-suffix. ‘Yuttattha’ means combined sense. Or, ‘yutta’ means connected relation. That is the meaning of which, it is ‘yuttattha’. By this, ‘yuttattha’ means ‘combined meaning’. Therefore, the definition of samāsa is told as ‘bhinnatthānaṃ ekatthībhāva’ (bringing different meanings into one). […] Moreover, in this context, by the expression ‘nāmānaṃ’ it is shown that in the sentences like ‘devadatto pacati etc.’ ‘samāsa’ is not made with the verb. When, however, the word ‘yuttattha’ is taken in the sense of connection, it is shown that samāsa is not formed in the following : i) bhaṭo rañño putto devadattassa etc. and ii) devadattassa kaṇhā dantā etc. In the first expression the words have no expectancy with each other. In the second, the whole expression expects some other word, as the meaning is not properly applied. As ‘the case terminations are changed according to meaning,’ the word ‘yuttatthānaṃ’ modified (from ‘yuttattha’) is understood :-

And their case-endings are dropped.

In this context, ‘yuttattha’ means turned into single sense by means of another pada, or taddhita suffixes or the suffixes ‘āya’ etc. By that, the case-ending of those ‘yuttattha’, compounds and nouns ending in the suffixes of taddhita and āya etc. are dropped. But when the word ‘samāsa’ is governing, or by the force of the word ‘tesaṃ’, the vibhatti-endings of taddhita-s and the words ending with the suffixes āya etc. are dropped. The word ‘ca’ is used in order to cancel the elision in ‘pabhaṅkaro’ etc. By modification, the words ‘luttesu vibhattīsu’ are continued. And the word ‘yuttattha’ is understood :-

(Such a word) ending in a vowel assumes primitive form.

When the case-endings have been elided, the words ending in vowels, […] belonging to the three genders, having the combined sense assumes the basic form. By the word ‘ca’, also the niggahita assumes pakatibhāva in kiṃsamudaya, idaṃpaccayatā, etc. As the absense of nemittaka is not certain, even if there is the absence of nimitta, in this context, we have atidesa. The designation ‘nāma’ is extended as there is absence of the state of a liṅga for a samāsa-pada as it has not its own basic meaning and therefore the application of case-endings does not occur. (So in the following :-).

(601-319) Taddhita-samāsa-kitakā nāmaṃv-ātave-tuna-ādīsu ca.

Section titled “(601-319) Taddhita-samāsa-kitakā nāmaṃv-ātave-tuna-ādīsu ca.”

(Words ending in) taddhita, samāsa and kita suffixes are regarded as nouns, except the suffixes tave, tuna etc.

The samāsa and the words ending in taddhita and kita suffixes except tave, tuna, tvā etc. are to be considered like nāma. The word ‘ca’ is used to indicate that even the words ending in kiccapaccayas and itthīpaccayas are called ‘nāma’. The other (grammarians) have told that in this context, the word ‘samāsa’ is used to indicate that the definition of nāma as ‘the collection of meaningful (padas)’ is applicable only to the samāsas. The word ‘abyayībhāvo’ is understood in the following :-

That (abyayībhāva) has neuter gender.

The ‘abyayībhāvasamāsa’ is to be regarded as neuter only. Thus, the state of having the neuter gender is accomplished. For in this context, when the ‘atidesa’ of gender is available, in the forms like ‘adhipaññaṃ’ etc. the calamity of becoming adhiñāṇaṃ does not occur; because it would be a different word. It is to be considered as the forms like ‘tipaññaṃ’ […] etc. And the ‘atidesa’ is not applicable because the word ‘iva’ indicating atidesa does not appear in the rule. ‘Si’ etc. are applied as before. The word ‘kvaci’ is to be understood in the following :-

(341-321) Aṃ vibhattīnaṃ akārantā abyayībhāvā.

Section titled “(341-321) Aṃ vibhattīnaṃ akārantā abyayībhāvā.”

The case-endings (are changed into) ‘aṃ’ after ‘a’ ending abyayībhāva.

After that a-ending abyayībhāva, the case-endings sometimes are changed into ‘aṃ’. The process is as usual. Taṃ upanagaraṃ i. e. it is situated near the city. tāni upanagarāni. Similarly, also in the locative case. taṃ upanagaraṃ passa (you see that which is near city), tāni upanagaraṃ.

“Due to the governing ‘kvaci’, ‘aṃ’ is not applicable
in the ablative case. But ‘aṃ’ is optionally applicable
for instrumental, locative and genitive cases.”

Tena upanagaraṃ or upanagarena kataṃ. tehi upanagaraṃ or upanagarehi. tassa upanagaraṃ dehi. tesaṃ upanagaraṃ. upanagarā ānaya, upanagaramhā, upanagarasmā. upanagarehi. tassa upanagaraṃ santakaṃ, or upanagarassa, tesaṃ upanagaraṃ, or upanagarānaṃ. upanagaraṃ nidhehi, upanagare or upanagaramhi, upanagarasmiṃ. upanagaraṃ, or upanagaresu. Similarly, upakumbhaṃ. In the sense of ‘abhāva’ (absence) :- niddarathaṃ means without anxiety, nimmasakaṃ. In the sense of ‘pacchā’ (after) :- anurūpaṃ means suitable to the form. In the sense of ‘vicchā’ (repetition):- paccattaṃ means individual, anvaddhamāsaṃ means every fortnight, twice a month. In the sense of ‘anupubba’ (successive) :- anujeṭṭhaṃ means according to seniority. In the sense of ‘paṭiloma’ (against) :- paṭisotaṃ means against the stream, paṭipathaṃ, paṭivātaṃ; ajjhattaṃ means that which is personal. In the sense of ‘mariyādā’ and ‘abhividhi’ :- āpānakoṭikaṃ means […] upto the end of life. The suffix ‘ka’ is applied by the rule ‘kvaci samāsa’ntogatānaṃ akāranto’ (294-335). ā kumārehi yaso ākumāraṃ, yaso kaccāyanassa. In the sense of ‘samiddhi’ (accomplishment) :- when the compound is formed in the sense of ‘accomplishment of alms’ and when the state of neuter is applied - when the expression ‘samāsassa anto’ is applicable :-

The short vowel is (laid down) in neuter gender.

The final vowel of samāsa having the neuter gender becomes short. Moreover, in this context, the word ‘abyayībhāva’ should not be taken as continued. By that even in digu, dvandva and bahubbīhi, the shortening of the final vowel of samāsa having the neuter gender is accomplished. By the rule ‘aṃ vibhattīnaṃ etc.’ (341-321), the ‘aṃ’ substitute is applicable. subhikkhaṃ. Upagaṅgaṃ means it is near the gaṅgā river. upamaṇikaṃ means near the waterpot. When, in the sense of ‘in connection with women’, compounding, neuter state, shortening etc. are done :- The word abyayībhāva and vibhattīnaṃ are applicable :-

After the other (abyayībhāvasamāsas), also the elision is applicable.

The case-endings after the abyayībhāva samāsa-s not ending in ‘a’ are also elided. adhitthi : the meaning is the talk is ‘about women’. adhitthi passa, adhitthi kataṃ etc. Similarly, adhikumāri; ‘upavadhu’ means near the young girl, ‘upagu’ means near the cows, the shortening of the sound ‘o’ is ‘u’. In this manner, the abyayībhāva, when the first member is upasagga, […] should be known. When the first member is a nipāta as :- ‘yathāvuḍḍhaṃ’ means sequence of elders, or according to elders; yathākkamaṃ in the sense of, ‘not transgresing the sequence’ :- yathāsatti or yathābalaṃ means ‘he is doing according to his power’, yāvajīvaṃ means as long as life lasts, similarly, yāvatāyukaṃ, the suffix ‘ka’ is applied. Yāvadatthaṃ means as far as one likes, tiropabbataṃ means beyond the other side of mountain, tiropākāraṃ, tirokuḍḍaṃ, antopāsādaṃ means within the palace, antonagaraṃ, antovassaṃ, bahinagaraṃ means outside the city, uparipāsādaṃ means the upper story of a palace, uparimañcaṃ, heṭṭhāmañcaṃ means underneath the bed, heṭṭhāpāsādaṃ, purebhattaṃ means before meals, similarly, pacchābhattaṃ. In the sense of whole, entire :- ‘samakkhikaṃ’ means ’(he eats) entire (lit.) together with fly, the meaning is he does not leave anything; by the rule ‘tesu vuddhi etc.’ (362-355), the ‘sa-substitute’ for the word ‘saha’ is applied. Oragaṅgaṃ means this (lower) side of gaṅgā etc.

The abyayībhāvasamāsa is over.

Now, the kammadhāraya samāsa is being told :- And that is ninefold as : i) visesanapubbapada, ii) visesanuttarapada, iii) visesanobhayapada, iv) upamānuttarapada, v) sambhāvanapubbapada, vi) avadhāraṇapubbapada, vii) nipātapubbapada, viii) kupubbapada, and ix) pādipubbapada. In this context, regarding visesanapubbapada firstly, mahanta + purisa, the nomiative singular case-ending ‘si’ is applied to the both; the application of the word ‘ca’ and ‘ta’ is to denote noun in aposition (same case). Now, when the analysis is done :- mahanto ca so puriso ca :- Further, the word ‘vibhāsā’ from […] the rule ‘vibhāsā rukkhatiṇa etc’’ (323-345), is understood everywhere in the process of samāsa.

(324-324) Dvipade tulya-adhikaraṇe kammadhārayo.

Section titled “(324-324) Dvipade tulya-adhikaraṇe kammadhārayo.”

In the context of two words having the same case, kammadhāraya (is laid down).

The two nominal words having the same case are combined with each other optionally. And when two words used in the same case, are compounded, that compound is called ‘kammadhāraya’. Dvipadaṃ means two padas, that pair of padas the meaning of which is in equal adhikaraṇa; in that pair of padas means tulyādhikaraṇe, ‘tulyādhikaraṇatā’ means action in a single meaning through the relation of ‘visesana’ and ‘visesitabba’, on the part of two padas having originally different pavatti-nimittas. Kammadhāraya means that which holds the both as kamma. It holds the pair, action and purpose that is ‘kamma’, because action and purpose are possible when object exists. Therefore, this compound holds two nouns having the single meaning, because that compound is possible when the pair of nouns indicates the single meaning. Samāsasaññā, vibhattilopa and pakatibhāva are applicable as before. As ‘tulyādhikaraṇa’ is told by that samāsa only, the word ‘ca’ and ‘ta’ are not applied by ‘vuttatthānaṃ appayogo’.

(330-325) Mahataṃ mahā tulyādhikaraṇe pade.

Section titled “(330-325) Mahataṃ mahā tulyādhikaraṇe pade.”

When a word in the same case follows, mahata (plural) changes to ‘mahā’.

The word mahanta is changed into ‘mahā’, when the uttarapada having […] the same case follows. By the plural form ‘mahataṃ’, sometimes, the substitute ‘maha’ is also applicable. Moreover, in this context, as herein the substitute mahā of the adjectival preceding pada is laid down, it is indicated that the abjective precedes (in this compound). The words ‘kammadhārayo’ and ‘digu’ are to be understood in the following :-

The both are called ‘tappurisa’.

Both descriptive compound and numeral compound are called ‘tappurisa’. The man of that (king) is called tappurisa. This compound is also called ‘tappurisa’ technically having similarity to the word tappurisa. Just as the word tappurisa has the preceding member as an abjective similarly this compound also. For, the tappurisa has the meaning of the uttarapada as its major member. After that, the term of nāma is applicable, (and) ‘si’ etc. are applied. The tappurisa, however, possesses the number of the abhidheyya and the gender of the final member. The forms mahāpuriso, mahāpurisā etc. are similar to those of the word purisa. Similarly, mahāvīro, mahāmuni. ‘mahābalaṃ’ means great power. mahabbhyaṃ :- here the maha-substitute is applicable. sappuriso means good person. By the word ‘ca’ in the rule ‘santasaddassa so bhe bo cante etc.’ (185-112), even in samāsa when there is not the sound ‘bha’ the sa-substitute of the word ‘santa’ is applicable. Similarly, pubbapuriso, parapuriso, paṭhamapuriso, majjhimapuriso, uttamapuriso, dantapuriso, paramapuriso, vīrapuriso, setahatthipuriso, kaṇhasappo, nīluppalaṃ, setuppalaṃ, rattuppalaṃ, lohitacandanaṃ. Sometimes, the compound is not formed due to the governing ‘vibhāsā’. For example :- puṇṇo mantāniputto, citto gahapati, […] sakko devarājā. Now, when the compound is made in the sense of ‘male cuckoo’, the word ‘lopaṃ’ is understood :-

(222-327) Pumassa liṅgādīsu samāsesu.

Section titled “(222-327) Pumassa liṅgādīsu samāsesu.”

(The final) of the word ‘puma’ (is dropped) in the compounds having the words liṅga etc. (as para-padas).

The final sound ‘a’ of the word ‘puma’ is elided when the compounds having the words ‘liṅga’ etc. as parapadas are formed. The sound ‘ma’ is changed into niggahita by the rule ‘aṃ o niggahitaṃ jhalapehi’ (82-149). puṅkokilo. Similarly, puṅnāgo. When the dissolution ‘khattiya girl’ is turned into compound : The rules ‘tulyādhikaraṇe pade’ (330-325) and ‘itthiyam-bhāsitapumitthi pumāva ce’ (331-338) are applied :-

Also in the (samāsa) technically called ‘kammadhāraya’.

And in the compound called ‘kammadhāraya’, when the feminine uttarapada follows in the same case, the preceding word indicating feminine gender, if it is used in masculine in the language should be known as having masculine gender. The itthīpaccaya becomes non-applicable to the preceding pada.

Khattiyakaññā, khattiyakaññāyo etc. Similarly, rattalatā, dutiyabhikkhā. Brāhmaṇadārikā means a brahmin girl. Similarly, nāgamāṇavikā. The ‘atidesa’ of the state of masculine is applicable only to the preceding word. By that in the uttarapadas of khattiyakumārī, Kumārasamaṇī, taruṇabrāhmaṇī, the itthīpaccaya is not forbidden. Why ‘itthiyaṃ’ ? For we have :- kumāriratanaṃ, samaṇīpadumaṃ. Why bhāsitapumā ? For we have :- […] gaṅgānadī, taṇhānadī, paṭhavīdhātu. However, in the words nandāpokkharaṇī, nandādevī etc. pumabhāva is not found because they are proper nouns. Similarly, puratthimakāyo means eastern part of body, then, in this context, the word ‘kāya’ is used with reference to particular body. Similarly, pacchimakāyo, heṭṭhimakāyo, uparimakāyo, sabbakāyo, purāṇavihāro, navavāso, kataranikāyo, katamanikāyo, hetupaccayo. Bahulīkataṃ means multiplied that which was not multiplied. Jīvitanavakaṃ means the nine forms beginning with life; and so on.

Now, regarding ‘visesanuttarapada’ :- The visesana i.e. thera, ācariya, paṇḍita etc. is to be used as the latter member keeping with the usages made by the conqueror; as :- sārīputtatthero means the thera called Sārīputta, similarly, mahāmoggallānatthero, mahākassapatthero, buddhaghosācariyo, dhammapālācariyo, or ācariyaguttilo. Mahosadhapaṇḍito means the wise one called Mahosadha; similarly, vidhurapaṇḍito, vatthuviseso. Now, regarding the ‘visesanobhayapada’ as :- sītuṇhaṃ means cold and hot, siniddhuṇho māso means moist and hot bean, khanjakhujjo means lame and humpback, similarly, andhabadhiro, katākata, chiddāvachidda, uccāvacaṃ, chinnabhinnaṃ, sittasammaṭṭhaṃ, gatapaccāgataṃ.

In upamānuttarapada :- the visesana used as upamāna is put latter according to the usage of that noun as :- ‘munisīho’ :- unique as a lion; one who is a sage and also unique like a lion; similarly, munivasabho, munipuṃgavo, buddhanāgo, buddhādicco, saddhammaraṃsi :- ray as ray; righteous dhamma as well as (like) ray; similarly, vinayasāgaro; samaṇapuṇḍarīko :- white lotus as white lotus; one who is a sage as a white lotus, similarly, samaṇapadumo. mukhacando :- moon as the moon; […] that which is face as well as moon, similarly, mukhapadumaṃ etc.

Now, the sambhāvanāpubbapada as :- dhammabuddhi means religious intelligence, similarly, dhammasaññā, dhammasaṅkhāto, dhammasammato, pāṇasaññitā, asubhasaññā, aniccasaññā, anattasaññā, dhātusaññā, dhītusaññā, attasaññā, atthisaññā, attadiṭṭhi etc. The avadhāraṇapubbapada as :- guṇadhanaṃ means virtue itself is wealth, similarly, saddhādhanaṃ, sīladhanaṃ, paññāratanaṃ; cakkhundriyaṃ means eye itself is the sense organ, similarly, cakkhāyatanaṃ, cakkhudhātu, cakkhudvāraṃ, rūpārammaṇaṃ etc. The nipātapubbapada as :- when the kammadhāraya compound is formed in the sense of ‘non-brahmin’, and when vibhattilopa etc. are applied, the term of tappurisa is applicable by the rule ‘ubhe tappurisā’.

In tappurisa ‘na’ acquires the state of ‘a’.

When the uttarapada in tappurisa compound follows, the entire ‘na’ becomes ‘a’. It is tappurisa because of belonging to a type of Tappurisa. abrāhmaṇo.

“The negation of existance is not justified without the
limits like place etc. Moreover, refusal of non-existance
is useless. Therefore, how the expression ‘a-brāhmaṇo’
is justified ? Sometimes paṭisedhavidhi is justified in
order to explain through the anuvāda of prohibition when
the other person has ignorance.”

By way of pasajjapaṭisedha and pariyudāsa, this has double meaning.

[…] In this regard : when the significance of uttarapada does not exist at all, in the examples like ’asūriyaṃpassā rājadārā etc. that is called pasajjappaṭisedha-vidhi. Furthermore, the pariyudāsavācī means having prevented the significance of uttarapada, the action is indicated in connection with similar matter, as in abrāhmaṇamāṇavo etc. And it is told that :-

“The absence of a thing is the characteristic of
‘pasajjappaṭisedha’. The reference to other than the thing
is the characteristic of ’pariyudāsa”.

Now, even if such is the case, how in the words like ‘abrāhmaṇo’ etc. there would be prominance of uttarapada ? It is told :- Because the words brāhmaṇa etc. denote also the significance of the similar entities like the significance ‘brāhmaṇa’ etc. The words ‘brāhmaṇa’ etc. basically are entirely expressive of the significance ‘brāhmaṇa’ etc. only. When, however, they are associated with the nipāta ‘na’ indicating similar etc., at that time they are also used in the sense of taṃsadisa (similar to that), tadañña (other than that), tabbiruddha (different from that), and tadabhāva (nothing of that), as the word ‘bhū’ to be, associated with anu, abhi etc. is used in the sense of anubhavana, abhibhavana etc. Therefore, there is not fault. Therefore, by the expression ‘abrāhmaṇa’ one similar with brāhmaṇa is indicated. Similarly, amanusso, assamaṇo.

In the significance añña :- abyākatā means dhammas which are not explained, asaṃkiliṭṭhā, apariyāpanna. In the significance viruddha : - akusalā means not meritorious, the significance is opposite of merit. Similarly, alobho, amitto. In the meaning of pasajjappaṭisedha :- akatvā means having not done, akātūna; puññaṃ akaronto means not performing merit. The words […] nassa and tappurisa are understood in the following :-

(The change into) ‘ana’ (is laid down) when a vowel follows.

When a vowel follows, in tappurisa compound the word ‘na’ becomes ‘ana’; ‘anasso’ means that which is not horse, anariyo means that who is not Ariya; similarly, anissaro, aniṭṭho, anāsavo, anupavādo; anādāya means not having taken, anoloketvā etc. Now, regarding the compound having ‘ka’ as pubbapada as :- when due to niccasamāsa by using external word, the analysis is done as ‘kucchitaṃ annaṃ’ (bad food), to form a kammadhārayasamāsa : The words tappurisa and sare are understood :-

‘Ku’ changes into ‘kada’.

In tappurisa compound the nipāta ‘ku’ is changed into ‘kada’, when a vowel follows. Sara-lopa is applicable. kadannaṃ; similarly, kadasanaṃ. Why the word sare is understood ? For, we have the forms kudārā, kuputtā, kudāsā, kudiṭṭhi. The word ‘kussa’ is understood :-

Also (ku) changes into ‘ka’ in diminutives.

The word ‘ku’ being used in the sense of diminutive becomes ‘kā’, if uttarapada follows in a tappurisa compound. And because of the plural, used in the rule, sometimes, in tappurisa compound, ‘ka’ used in the sense of kucchita becomes ‘kā’. Kālavaṇaṃ means little salt; similarly, kāpuphaṃ; kāpuriso or kupuriso (contemptible man).

[…] And the compound having ‘pa’ etc. as initial word is ‘niccasamāsa’ only. pāvacanaṃ means fundamental teaching, pabaddhaṃ sarīraṃ means very strong body, samādhānaṃ means putting balance or correctly, vimati means double mind, vikappo mens different ideas, or specific thought, adhidevo means supreme god; similarly, adhisīlaṃ; sugandho means good smell, duggandho means bad smell, sukataṃ means good doing, dukkataṃ means wrong doing etc. Here, those of nouns, upasaggas and nipātas the charecteristics of which are not laid down should be understood to form ‘samāsas’ by the yogavibhāga ‘nāmānaṃ samāso’ (273-316) as, ‘samāsa’ is not formed with another word in ’apunageyyā gāthā, acandamullokikāni mukhāni, assaddhabhojī, alavaṇabhojī etc. in order to avoid ayuttattha. Similarly, diṭṭhapubbo tathāgataṃ means one who has seen the Tathāgata before; similarly, sutapubbo dhammaṃ, gatapubbo maggaṃ. In the case of kamma (object) :- diṭṭhapubbā tena means the gods are seen by him before, similarly, sutapubbā dhammā, gatapubbā disā, pahāro, parābhavo, vihāro, āhāro, upahāro etc.

(Here ends) the kammadhāraya compound.

Now, digusamāsa is being told. In the sense of ’tayo lokā samāhatā cittena sampiṇḍitā; ‘three worlds having brought means collected by mind’ or ‘the collection of the three worlds’. When the rule ‘nāmānaṃ samāso yuttattho’ (273-316) is applicable, by the rule ‘dvipade etc.’ the kammadhārayasamāsa is formed. After that when the nomenclature ‘samāsa’ is applicable, the elision of vibhatti and pakatibhāva are made. Then the […] word ‘kammadhāraya’ is to be understood :-

(Compound) having a numeral as a first member is called ‘digu’.

The kammadhāraya samāsa having numeral as a first member is technically called ‘digu’. The word ‘digu’ means two cows. This compound also is called ‘digu’ because it is similar to the word ‘digu’. Or ‘digu’ is so called because of having become understood (gata & avagata) by two definitions, namely i) having a numeral as a first member ii) neuter, singular. Or ‘digu’ is so called because that goes (becomes active) by two characteristics. Now, in this context, as the word ‘saṅkhyāpubbo’ is used pubbanipāta is applicable only to the word indicating numeral. The technical term tappurisa is applied by the rule ‘ubhe tappurisā’ (283-326). The word ‘napuṃsakaliṅgo’ (227-320), is understood :-

Singularity of Digu (is laid down).

The numerical compound is singular and neuter. Here, the word digu stands for samāhāra digu. Therein always singular is applicable, but in the compounds other than samāhāradigu, even the plural also is applicable. After the term ‘nāma’ is applied, ‘si’ etc. are applied and the process of substitution ‘aṃ’ etc. also becomes applicable. “tilokaṃ; he tiloka; tilokaṃ; tilokena; tilokassa or tilokāya; tilokā tilokamhā tilokasmā; tilokassa; tiloke tilokamhi tilokasmiṃ”. Similarly, ‘tidaṇḍaṃ’ means the collection of three sticks, timalaṃ means three malas brought together or collection of three malas, tilakkhaṇaṃ, catusaccaṃ; catuddisaṃ means the four directions; Shortening is applied by the rule ‘saro rassaṃ napuṃsake’ (299-322). pañcasikkhāpadaṃ, chaḷāyatanaṃ, sattāhaṃ, aṭṭhasīlaṃ, navalokuttaraṃ, […] dasasīlaṃ, satayojanaṃ. Similarly, dvirattaṃ means two nights, tirattaṃ means three nights, dvaṅgulaṃ means two fingers, tivaṅgulaṃ, sattagodhāvaraṃ means seven godhāvaris or their collection. Moreover, in this context, the final of the words ratti, aṅguli and godhāvari : -

(337-335) Kvaci samāsa-antagatānaṃ akāranto.

Section titled “(337-335) Kvaci samāsa-antagatānaṃ akāranto.”

(The final) of the last members in compounds sometimes changes into ‘a’.

This rule is applicable to the words rājā etc. By that, the final vowel of nouns rājā etc. which are the last members in compounds sometimes, becomes ‘a’. Thus, the sound ‘a’ is applicable. By the word ‘kāra’, in the final of bahubbīhi compound etc. the suffix ‘ka’ sometimes is applied. And the sound ‘i’ is substituted for the final of gandha after the words surabhi, su, du, and pūti. Or, ‘akā’ means ‘a’ and ‘ka’, the sound ‘ra’ is conjunct-consonant. By that, for, the final of the last members in compounds sometimes, the suffixes ‘a’ and ‘ka’ are applicable. By that, in the sense of ‘five cows are brought’, when the process of compounding etc. is done, the suffix ‘a’ in the final of compound is applied and the ‘ava’-substitute is made by the rule ‘o sare ca’ (471-435). The words ‘pañcagavaṃ’ etc. are accomplished. However, in ‘dvirattaṃ’ etc. when the suffix ‘a’ is made, by the rule ‘sare lopo’ (83-67) etc. the elision of the preceding vowel is applicable. Now, regarding ‘asamāhāradigu’ as :- ekapuggalo means one person; similarly, ekadhammo, ekaputto; tibhavā means three existances, catuddisā means four directions, sahassacakkavāḷāni etc.

(Here ends) Digusamāsa.

Now, tappurisa samāsa is being told. That, however, is basically sixfold in the six-case-endings beginning with the accusative. Among them, dutiyātappurisa samāsa is formed with the words gata, nissita, atīta, atikkanta, patta, āpanna etc. When the analysis is done as : saraṇaṃ gato:- The word ‘tappuriso’ is to be understood :-

(The case-endings) ‘aṃ’ etc. (are combined) with the succeeding words.

The proper pubbapadas ending in case suffixes aṃ etc. are combined with the following nouns optionally. That compound is called ‘tappurisa’. And this tappurisa has number and gender of the abhidheyya. The words ‘gata’ etc. have three genders because they end in kita-suffixes. All operations of vibhatti-lopa etc. are like previous injunctions. So saraṇagato (he has taken refuge), te saraṇagatā (they have taken refuge), sā saraṇagatā (she has taken refuge), tā saraṇagatāyo (they have taken refuge), taṃ kulaṃ saraṇagataṃ (that family has taken refuge), tāni kulāni saraṇagatāni (those families have taken refuge) etc. Similarly, araññagato, bhūmigato; dhammanissito means clinged to the dhamma, atthanissito; bhavātīto means gone beyond the existence, kālātīto; pamāṇātikkantaṃ means which surpasses the limitation, lokātikantaṃ, sukhappatto means reached the happiness, dukkhappatto; sotāpanno means entered into the stream, nirodhasamāpanno, maggapaṭipanno; rathāruḷho means got into the chariot; sabbarattisobhaṇo means shining during all nights; muhuttasukhaṃ. But in upapadasamāsa only the paraphrase is applicable because that is niccasamāsa. For example :- kammakāro means he works, kumbhakāro; atthakāmo means he desires attha, dhammakāmo; dhammadharo means one who possesses the dhamma, vinayadharo; saccavādī means one whose habit is to speak truth etc. After […] the final of kita-suffixes tvantu, māna, anta, etc. the ‘vākya’ only is applicable, because of the governing vavatthitavibhāsa. For example:- odanaṃ bhuttavā (one who has eaten rice), dhammaṃ suṇamāno (listening to dhamma), dhammaṃ suṇanto, kaṭaṃ karāno (making the mat). Alternatively, ‘vākya’ is applicable to these because they are not referred to directly. The taddhita, samāsa and kitaka are referred to (by abhidhāna) directly.

(Here ends) the dutiyātappurisa compound.

Now, regarding the instrumental case :- (the preceding word) is combined with the kitaka words, pubba, sadisa, samūna, kalaha, nipuṇa, missaka, sakhila etc. Bhuddhabhāsito dhammo means the doctrine taught by the Enlightened one, similarly, jinadesito; satthuvaṇṇito means praised by the teacher, viññugarahito means condemned by knowers, viññuppasattho, issarakataṃ, sayaṃkataṃ; sukāhataṃ means brought by parrots, rājahato means killed by the king, rogapīḷito, aggidaḍḍho, sappadaṭṭho, sallaviddho means pierced by an arrow; icchāpakato means strengthened by desire, sīlasampanno means perfect with morality; similarly, sukhasahagataṃ, ñāṇasampayuttaṃ, mittasaṅgaho, piyavippayogo, jātithaddho, guṇahīno, guṇavuḍḍho, catuvaggakaraṇīyaṃ, catuvaggādikattabbaṃ; kākapeyyā nadī means the river full to the brim (when even crows can drink water on the bank) etc.

Catutthī tappurisa - After the words meaning tadattha, attha, hita, deyya etc. In the sense of tadattha (for the use of that) :- ‘kathinadussaṃ’ means cloth for the kathina robe. Similarly, cīvaradussaṃ cīvaramūlyaṃ; yāgutaṇḍulā means rice grains for gruel, bhattataṇḍulā; saṅghabhattaṃ means meals for the group of monks, āgantukabhattaṃ means meals for the guests; similarly, gamikabhattaṃ; pāsādadabbaṃ means material for palace etc. With the word attha there is niccasamāsa : bhikkhusaṅghattho vihāro means the residence for the group of monks, bhikkhusaṅghatthā yāgu, bhikkhusaṅghatthaṃ cīvaraṃ; yadattha means ‘for the sake of which,’ yadatthā, yadatthaṃ; similarly, tadattho, tadatthā, tadatthaṃ; etadattho, etadatthā, etadatthaṃ; etadattho vāyāmo, etadatthā kathā, etadatthaṃ sotāvadhānaṃ, kimatthaṃ, attatthaṃ, paratthaṃ; saṃvarattho vinayo means the discipline for restraint, sukhatthāya, samādhatthāya, nibbidā virāgatthāya, virāgo vimuttatthāya; similarly, lokahito means useful for the world, buddhadeyyaṃ pupphaṃ means flower which is to be offered to the […] enlightened one; saṅghadeyyaṃ cīvaraṃ means the robe which should be offered to saṅgha.

When in the sense of ‘the king of gods’ operation of compounding etc. are done, the sound ‘a’ is applicable by the rule ‘kvaci samāsantānaṃ akāranto’ (337-335). After that, by the rule ‘syā ca’ (189-113), the state of ‘a’ is not applicable. Devarājo, devarājā, devarājaṃ, devarāje etc. forms are similar to those of the word ‘purisa’. When, the state of ‘a’ is not applicable :- devarājā, devarājāno etc. froms are similar to those of the word ‘rājā’.

The word ‘yuttattha’ is necessary only. And we have in this context, bhaṭo rañño puriso devadattassa; it is genitive case related with ‘bhaṭa’, […] therefore, samāsa is not formed because the words have no expectancy with each other (and) because of the state of impropriety. But in ‘kosalassa rañño putto’ etc. because the expression has expectancy, the state of non-ability does not exist. When, however, expectancy always lies among the related words, compounding is applicable by understanding. For example:- devadattassa gurukulaṃ, bhagavato sāvakasaṅgho etc.

(Here ends) chaṭṭhitappurisa compound.

Bhojane mattaññutā, indriyesu guttadvāro, āsane nisinno, āsane nisīditabbaṃ.

(Here ends) sattamītappurisa compound.

[…] Because the expression ‘tadanuparodhena’ (56-64), is used the preceding word ending with the case-ending ‘aṃ’ sometimes, is to be put afterwords in the cases like ‘accanta’ etc. in the tappurisa compound as laid down. For example :- accantaṃ means crossing the end, accantāni; ativelo means crossing the velā; the shortening is applicable.

Pubbaṇhaṃ means a former period of a day, similarly, sāyaṇhaṃ. By the rule ‘tesu vuddhilopo etc.’ (404-355), the ‘aṇha’-substitute for ‘aha’ is applicable.

(Here ends) the amādiparatappurisa compound.

‘pabhaṅkara’ etc. For example :- in the sense of one who makes light, the ‘samāsa’ is applicable by the rule ‘amādayo parapadebhi’, the nomenclature of samāsa is applicable by the rule ‘nāmānaṃ samāso yuttattho’ (316-316), after that, when the vibhattilopa is applied by the rule ‘tesaṃ vibhattiyo lopā ca’ (317-317), by the force of ‘ca’ in that context only, the vibhattilopa is not applicable in the preceding word. The remaining forms are similar.

(Here ends) the alopatappurisa compound.

The tappurisa compound is over.

Now, the bahubbīhi samāsa is being told. And it is ninefold :- i) dvipadatulyādhikaraṇa, ii) dvipadabhinnādhikaraṇa, iii) tipada, iv) nanipātapubbapada, v) sahapubbapada, vi) upamānapubbapada, vii) saṅkhyobhayapada, viii) disantarāḷattha, and ix) byatihāralakkhaṇa. In this context, bahubbīhi having two words in the same case relation is applicable in the senses of six case-endings i. e. kamma etc. In this context, firstly, regarding the sense of accusative :- When the analysis is done as : āgatā samaṇā imaṃ saṅghārāmaṃ :-

‘Bahubbīhi’ is laid down in the context of meanings of padas other than their own.

The nouns having proper meanings are optionally combined in the sense other than their own, ending with acusative case-ending etc. together with nominative case always. And that compound is called ‘bahubbīhi’.

‘Bahubbīhi’ is he who has much rice. The compound is also called ‘bahubbīhi’ in order to make the term significant. For the bahubbīhi has the aññapada as the major member. And, this ‘bahubbīhi’ is twofold as : i) tagguṇasaṅviññāṇa ii) atagguṇasaṅviññāṇa. Among them, when the meaning, being a visesana, is to be taken by the word ‘aññapadattha’, it is called ‘tagguṇasaṅviññāṇa’ as : ‘lambakaṇṇaṃ ānaya’ (bring one who has long ears). However, when it is not taken like that, it is called ‘atagguṇasaṅviññāṇa’ as : ‘bahudhanaṃ ānaya’ (Bring bahudhana). Here, the visesana is to be used as the first member as in the word bahubbīhi. The remaining process is as before. ‘āgatasamaṇo saṃghārāmo’. Moreover in this context, the words ‘āgata’ and ‘samaṇa’ not standing in their own senses, are used in aññapadattha, namely, ‘saṅghārāma’ which has the meaning of the accusative-case. The other pada ‘saṅghārāma’ is used after them to indicate just their meaning. Then, the accusative case is not used again because the kammattha is told by the samāsa only. And the word ‘imaṃ’ is not applicable. Similarly, everywhere. This bahubbīhi compound also possesses the gender and number of the abhidheyya.

Similarly, āgatasamaṇā sāvatthi. āgatasamaṇaṃ jetavanaṃ. […] Paṭipannaddhiko patho means the way at which the wanderers have reached. abhiruḷhavāṇijā nāvā means the boat on which merchants have mounted. In this manner, the bahubbīhi compound in the sense of ‘kamma’ is to be understood.

Now, regarding the bahubbīhi in the sense of instrumental as : jitindriyo samaṇo means the monk who has conquered sense-faculties, similarly, diṭṭhadhammo, pattadhammo, katakicco; vijitamāro bhagavā means the lord who has subdued the devil. Paṭividdhasabbadhammo. The bahubbīhi in the sense of dative as : dinnasuṅko rājā means the king whom tax is given. Upanītabhojano samaṇo means the monk to whom food is brought. Upahaṭabali yakkho means yakkha to whom offering is brought. The bahubbīhi compound in the sense of ablative as : niggatajano gāmo means the village from which people have departed. Nirayo means that from which happiness has gone. Nikkileso means he from whom defilements have gone. Apetaviññāṇo matakāyo means the dead body from which consciousness has gone. Apagatabhayabheravo arahā means Arahā from whom fear and dismay have gone.

The bahubbīhi compound in the sense of genitive as : chinnahattho puriso means the man whose hands are cut off; similarly, paripuṇṇasaṅkappo, khīṇāsavo; vītarāgo means the person whose passion has gone; dvipado means he who has two feet; dvihattho paṭo. Tevijjo; catuppado means that who has four feet; pañcacakkhu bhagavā means the Blessed One who has five eyes. Chaḷabhiñño; shortening is applicable. Navaṅgaṃ satthusāsanaṃ, dasabalo, anantañāṇo; tidasā devā means the gods who have three tenfold measurements (desaparimāṇa). The final of the compound becomes ‘ā’. In […] this context, the word ‘dasa’ is used in numerical sense because of the word ‘parimāṇa’ used together with it. ‘Idappaccayā’ means these have this cause, kiṃpabhavo ayaṃ kāyo means what is the origination of this body. Vimalo means that the stain of which has gone. Sugandhaṃ candanaṃ means sandal wood smell of which is good; similarly, susīlo, sumukho; duggandhaṃ kuṇapaṃ means carcase the smell of which is bad; dummano means one whose mind in wicked. Similarly, dussīlo, dummukho; tapodhano means he who has wealth in the form of penance; khantibalo means he whose power is forbearance; indanāmo means one whose name is Inda. In the words ‘chandajāta’ etc. any of the both pada-s can be put first because adjective and substantive is made according to one’s will. The word ‘chandajāto’ dissolved as ‘chando jāto assāti chandajāto’ or ‘jāto chando assāti jātachando’. Similarly, sañjātapītisomanasso, pītisomannassasañjāto, māsajāto, jātamāso, chinnahattho, hatthacchinno. When the compound is made after the analysis as ‘dīghā jaṅghā yassa’ :- The word ‘tulyādhikaraṇe’ and ‘pade’ are understood :-

(331-338) Itthiyaṃ bhāsitapumaitthi pumā-va ca.

Section titled “(331-338) Itthiyaṃ bhāsitapumaitthi pumā-va ca.”

If a feminine word follows a masculine word, it takes masculine gender if the word is used in masculine in the language.

When a pada in the same case in feminine follows, if the feminine word used as masculine in the language precedes, it should be understood as masculine; thus, the itthīpaccaya is not applicable in pubbapada. This example belongs to bahubbīhi because of the rule ‘kammadhārayasaññe ca’ (332-328), being referred to before.

(403-339) Kvaci ādi-majjh-uttarānaṃ dīgharassā paccayesu ca.

Section titled “(403-339) Kvaci ādi-majjh-uttarānaṃ dīgharassā paccayesu ca.”

And when the suffixes follow, the initial, middle and final (vowels) are sometimes, lengthened (or) shortened.

And when the suffixes follow or not, the initial, middle and final vowels are sometimes lengthened or shortened keeping with the usages made by the Conquerer, in the words i.e. taddhita, samāsa, nāma, upasagga etc.

In this context :-

“The lengthening is applicable in the words ‘pākaṭa’,
anupaghāta and madhuvā etc. The shortening is
applicable in the words ‘ajjava’, ‘itthirūpa’ and also when
the suffixes ‘ka’, ‘ta’ etc. follow.”

When the bahubbīhisamāsa is formed in masculine, the shortening of the final vowel of uttarapada is applicable. Dīghajaṅgho puriso, similarly, pahūtajivho bhagavā means Lord having long tongue. Mahāpañño means one having great wisdom. The ‘maha’-substitute is applied by the rule ‘mahataṃ mahā tulyādhikaraṇe pade’ (330-325).

Why ‘itthiyaṃ’ ? For, we have : - khamādhano. Why ‘bhāsitapumā’? For, we have :- saddhādhuro, saddhāpakaṭiko; paññāvisuddhiko. Herein, the suffix ‘ka’ is applied by the rule ‘kvaci samāsa-antagatānaṃ akāranto’ (337-335). Why ’tulyādhikaraṇe only ? For, we have :- samaṇībhattiko, kumārībhattiko, kumārītthiko. This ‘atidesa’ of the state of masculine is applicable to the pubbapada only. By that, it is not applicable to the following :- bahudāsiko puriso, bahudārikaṃ, bahukadalikaṃ. When the operations of samāsa etc. are operated after the analysis ‘gaṇḍīvo dhanu assa’ :-

And ‘ā’ after ‘dhanu’ (is laid down).

This (rule) has three pada-s : after the word ‘dhanu’ occuring as the final member in a compound, the suffix ‘ā’ is sometimes added. By the word ‘ca’ also after the word ‘dhamma’ etc. The sound ‘va’ is applied by the rule ‘vamodudantānaṃ’ (18-20). Gaṇḍīvadhanvā; similarly, paccakkhadhammā. Why ‘kvaci’ ? For, we have :- sahassathāmadhanu, paccakkhadhammo, viditadhammo. Now, in the compound ‘nānādumapatitapupphavāsitasānu’ :- ‘nānādumā’ means various trees, ‘nānādumapatitāni’ means fallen down from various trees, ‘nānādumapatitapupphāni’ means the flowers fallen down from the various trees, ’nānādumapatitapupphavāsitā means scented with the flowers fallen down from the various trees, ‘nānādumapatitapupphavāsitasānupabbatarājā’ means the king of mountains having the forest hills scented with the flowers fallen down from the various trees. However, this compound is called ‘tulyādhikaraṇabahubbīhi’ having kammadhāraya and tappurisa inside. Similarly, ‘byālambambudharo’ means cloud hanging down, ‘byālambambudharabindūni’ means drops of hanging cloud. ‘byālambambudharabinducumbito’ means touched by those drops of hanging cloud, ‘byālambambubinducumbitakūṭo’ means that whose peak is touched by the drops of hanging cloud etc.

Now, regarding the bahubbīhi in the sense of locative :- As - ‘sampannasasso janapado’ means the countryside in which there are abundant crops. Sulabhapiṇḍo deso means the place in which food is easy to get. […] Ākiṇṇamanussā rājadhānī means the capital in which people are crowded. Bahutāpaso assamo means hermitage in which there are many ascetics. Upacitamaṃsalohitaṃ sarīraṃ means body in which flesh and blood is accumulated. Bāhussāmikaṃ nagaraṃ means city in which there are many owners (masters). When, the samāsa etc. are operated in the sense of ‘many rivers herein’ :- The word ‘samāsanta’ and the suffix ‘ka’ (337-335) are to be understood :-

Also after ‘nadī’.

After the word ‘nadī’ occuring as the final member of a compound, the suffix ‘ka’ is added. By the word ‘ca’ also after the words ending in ‘tu’. This reference (ca) is to make it nicca. Moreover, in this context, the word ‘nadī’ is parasamaññā for feminine words with the vowel ‘ī’ and ‘u’. After that, by the rule ‘kvacādimajjhuttarānaṃ etc.’ (403-339), the shortening of the word ‘nadī’ is applied when the suffix ‘ka’ is added. Bahunadiko janapado; similarly, bahujambukaṃ vanaṃ. The word ‘bahunāriko’ is accomplished by chaṭṭhībahubbīhi. Bahukattuko deso means the region in which there are many workers; similarly, bahubhattuko.

Bhinnādhikaraṇa is as follows : ekarattivāso means he, who has a stay for single night. Samānavāso puriso means he, whose stay is with his equals. Ubhatobyañjanako means one who has the characteristics of both sexes; chattapāṇi puriso means one who has umbrella in the hand; similarly, daṇḍapāṇi, satthapāṇi, vajirapāṇi, khaggahattho, satthahattho; dānajjhāsayo means one who has intention to give, dānādhimuttiko, buddhabhattiko, saddhammagāravo etc.

[…] The ‘tipada’ as :- parakkamādhigatasampadā mahāpurisā means the mahāpurisa-s whose attainment is obtained by perseverance; similarly, dhammādhigatabhogā; oṇītapattapāṇi means he, by whom the hand is removed from the bowl. sīhapubbaddhakāyo means (the Blessed One) whose upper body is like the front of a lion, mattabahumātaṃgaṃ vanaṃ means the forest which has many elephants in rut etc.

The ‘na-nipātapubbapada’ is as follows : asamo bhagavā means the Blessed One who has no parallel. Here, ‘na’ has become ‘a’ by yogavibhāga: ‘attannassa’ in the rule ‘attannassa tappurise’ (333-329). Similarly, appaṭipuggalo, aputtako, ahetuko. The suffix ‘ka’ is applied by the rule ‘kvaci samāsanta’ etc. (337-335). Asaṃvāsā means those who have not common residence. ‘Avuṭṭhiko janapado’ means the region which has not rain, abhikkhuko vihāro; anuttaro means he, than whom there is no better. The substitute ‘ana’ is applicable by the rule ‘sare ana’ (334-330). The word ‘tappurisa’ is for upalakkhaṇa. Or ‘na’ has become ‘an’ by the rule ‘tesu vuddhi etc.’ (440-335). Similarly, ‘anantaṃ’ means that which has no end, ‘anāsavā’ means those who have no defilements, etc.

Now, regarding sahapubbapada in the sense of nominative as :- sahetuko means that which exists together with cause, sahetuvā; sa-substitute for the word saha is applied by the rule ‘tesu vuddhi etc.’ (440-355). By the rule ‘kvaci samāsanta etc.’ (337-335), the suffix ‘ka’ is also applied. ‘Sappītikā’ means those (dhamma-s) which exist together with pīti, sakkileso, saupādāno, saparivāro; samūluddhato rukkho means the tree which is pulled out together with root. On the other hand, ‘upamānapubhapada’ in the sense of nominative is as follows :- the word ‘iva’ is applicable for the […] accomplishment of the states of upamāna and upameyya. Nigrodhaparimaṇḍalo rājakumāro is so called due to the equal measurement of roundness of body. The word ‘iva’ is not applicable by (paribhāsā) ‘vuttatthānaṃ appayogo’. Saṅkhapaṇḍaro means this is as white as a conch. kākasūro means this (person) is as brave as a crow, cakkhubhūto bhagavā means the Blessed One who has become like an eye showing the ultimate reality. Similarly, atthabhūto, dhammabhūto, brahmabhūto; andhabhūto bālo means the ignorant one who has become like a blind. Muñjapabbajabhūtā kudiṭṭhi means the wrong view which has become like reed and bulrash. Tantākulakajātā means that which has become like a ball of string.

In the sense of genitive :- Suvaṇṇavaṇṇo bhagavā means the Blessed One whose colour is like the colour of gold. The elision of uttarapada is applicable. Nāgagati means he whose gait is like that of an elephant; similarly, sīhagati, nāgavikkamo, sīhavikkamo, sīhahanu; eṇijaṅgho means he whose shanks are like those of an antelope, sīhapubbaddhakāyo means the person whose upper body is like the front half of a lion, brahmassaro means the fortunate one whose voice has eight factors like that of Brahmā. Regarding the saṅkhyobhayapada together with the sense of the word ‘vā’ as :- dvattipattā means two or three bowls. The final of the word ‘dvi’ becomes ‘ā’ by the rule ‘dvekaṭṭhānaṃ ākāro vā’ (383-253). Then shortening is applicable. Dvīhatīhaṃ means two or three days, chappañcavācā means six or five utterances. Similarly, sattaṭṭhamāsā, ekayojanadviyojanāni.

Now, regarding the ‘disantarāḷattha’ :- pubbadakkhiṇā vidisā means the sub-direction between the East and South. In this context, the atidesa of the state of masculine is not applicable because the word tulyādhikaraṇa […] does not follow. By the rule ‘kvacādimajjhuttarānaṃ’ etc. (403-339), in the sense of disantarāḷa the shortening of pubbapada is applied. Similarly, pubbuttarā, aparadakkhiṇā, pacchimuttarā. However, when the kammadhārayasamāsa in the sense of southern as well as eastern is formed, the atidesa of the state of masculine is applicable because the meaning of uttarapada is major. Even, the pronominal operation is always applicable. For example :- dakkhiṇapubbassa dakkhiṇapubbassaṃ. Regarding the byatihāralakkhaṇo as :- kesākesi means the fight with seizing hair of the opponent, daṇḍādaṇḍi means fight having attacks by sticks. The lengthening is applicable in the middle by the rule ‘kvacādimajjhuttarānaṃ’ etc. (403-339). By the rule ‘tesu vuddhi’ etc. (404-335) the substitute ‘i’ is laid down for the final.

(Here ends) the bahubbīhi ending with nominative.

The bahubbīhi samāsa is over.

Now, the dvandvasamāsa is being told. And, it is twofold according to the sense of i) itaretarayoga ii) samāhāra. Among them, firstly, itaretarayoga :- in the context of ‘sārīputta mogallāna’, the nominative singular case-ending ‘si’ is applicable in the both. The word ‘ca’ is also applicable for indicating the collection. When the analysis is done as :- sārīputto ca moggallāno ca :-

The combination of nouns is called ‘dvandva’.

[…] in the same case, is an optional compound called ‘dvandva’. Moreover, in this context, the collection is called ‘samuccaya’. However, by the force of meaning, it is fourfold :- i) kevalasamuccaya, ii) anvācaya, iii) itaretarayoga and iv) samāhāra. Among them, in kevalasamuccaya and anvācaya, the samāsa is not formed because the meaning of nouns is not mutually connected with relation to the action. For example : cīvaraṃ piṇḍapātañca paccayaṃ sayanāsanaṃ adāsi, dānañca dehi, sīlañca rakkhāhi. In itaretarayoga and samāhāra, the samāsa is applicable because the meanings of nouns are connected with each other. ‘Dvandva’ means pair of pada-s (dve dve) or double meaning (dvandvaṭṭha). This compound also is called ‘dvandva’ by significant nomenclature of having similarity to ‘dvandva’. For, in dvandva compound the meanings of ubhayapada-s are major.

But when the meanings of ubhayapada-s are used as the major, how the state of single meaning is applicable to the dvandva compound? To answer this, it is told that :- When the saddappavatti (of samāsa) in the meaning of ‘sadisa’ etc. also is possible, there is not contradiction even if both meanings are indicated simultaneously. Moreover, the indication of two meanings occurs in dvandva only. For, such as the word ‘bhū’ in the sense of anubhava and abhibhava etc. is found together with the upasagga-s anu, abhi etc. only; and not separately. Similarly, it should be known that in the expressions like ‘gavassakaṃ’, the indication of two meanings belonging to two padas in the samāsa are found in their mutual association only; and not when they are used separately; therefore these expressions are covered by dvandva; and not everywhere. Or, as both pada-s indicate the ‘samuccaya’ under consideration, the single meaning is applicable also to dvandva; and therefore there is no contradiction. After that, samāsasaññā, vibhattilopa etc. are applicable as laid down before. The meaning of ‘ca’ is indicated by samāsa only, therefore ca is not used according to ‘vuttatthānaṃ appayogo’. In this context, in dvandva, pada having less vowels is put initially. And, the gender is like the following pada. Only plural is applicable always in itaretarayoga because, therein avayavas are major. Sārīputtamoggallānā, sārīputtamoggallāne, sārīputtamoggallānehi etc. Samaṇabrāhmaṇā means samaṇa and brahmin; similarly, brāhmaṇagahapatikā, khattiyabrāhmaṇā, devamanussā, candimasūriyā; mātāpitaro means mother and father. By the rule ‘tesu vuddhi’ etc. (404-355) in dvandva compound, the sound ‘u’ of pubbapada-s like ‘mātu’ etc. becomes ‘ā’. Similarly, pitāputtā. In the context of ‘jāyāpati’ meaning wife and husband. The word ‘kvaci’ is understood :-

The word ‘jāyā’ followed by ‘pati’ is changed into ‘tudaṃ’ and ‘jāni’.

When the word ‘pati’ follows, sometimes, the word ‘jāyā’ is changed into ‘tudaṃ’ and ‘jāni’. Tudampati, jānipati; jayaṃpatikā :- In this context, niggahita is augmented. And the shortening is applied by the rule ‘kvacādi’ etc. (403-339). Sometimes, the pada having less vowels is used as first member. For example :- candasūriyā means moon and sun; surāsuragaruḷamanujabhujagagandhabbā means gods, demons, garuḍas, human beings, serpents and heavenly musicians. The ‘i’ vaṇṇa and ‘u’ vaṇṇa are sometimes, used as first members. For example :- aggidhūmā means fire and smoke; similarly, gatibuddhibhujapaṭhaharakarasayā; dhātuliṅgāni means roots and genders. Sometimes, the padas beginning with a vowel and ending in ‘a’, are put as first members. For example :- atthadhammā means the […] attha and the dhamma; similarly, atthasaddā or saddatthā. However, in the samāhāra :- in the sense of ‘eye and ear’ when the dvandvasamāsa is formed by the rule ‘nāmānaṃ samuccayo dvandvo’ (329-342), the vibhattilopa etc. are done :- The words ‘napuṃsakaliṅgaṃ’ and ‘ekattaṃ’ are understood :-

(322-344) Tathā dvandve pāṇi-tūriya-yogga-senaṅga khuddajantuka-vividhaviruddha-visabhāgattha-ādīnaṃ ca.

Section titled “(322-344) Tathā dvandve pāṇi-tūriya-yogga-senaṅga khuddajantuka-vividhaviruddha-visabhāgattha-ādīnaṃ ca.”

Even so in the dvandva compound of pāṇi, tūriya, yogga, senaṅga, khuddajantuka, vividhaviruddha, visabhāgattha etc. (the singularity and neuter gender are laid down).

Even so in the samāhāradvandvasamāsa in the sense of factors of army such as pāṇi, tūriya, yogga and in the sense of khuddajantuka, vividha, viruddha and visabhāga etc. the singularity and neuter gender are applicable as in ‘digusamāsa’.

‘Pāṇitūriyayoggasenaṅgāni’ means the factors of pāṇi, tūriya, yogga, and senā. As the word aṅga occurs after the dvandva it is applicable to each member. Khuddhajantuka means little creatures; vividhaviruddha means objects which indicate various degrees of difference, always opposite. Sabhāga means that which has the same division. Sa-substitute of the word samāna is applied by the rule ‘tesu vuddhi’ etc. (404-355). Visabhāga means the objects which are various by lakkhaṇa and different by action. ‘Pāṇi-tūriya-yogga-senaṅga-khuddajantuka-vividhaviruddha-visabhāga-’ is a dvandva - compound made of ‘pāṇi; tūriya, yogga, senaṅga, khuddajantuka, vividhaviruddha and visabhāga’. In this compound there is not fixed rule […] for pubbanipāta, because the members are many in number. ‘Having those meanings’ - means ‘pāṇi-tūriya-yogga-senaṅga-khuddajantuka-vividhaviruddha-visabhāgatthā’. Beginning with those meanings means ‘tadādayo’.

By the force of ‘ādi’, to the words in the sense of saṅkhyā, parimāṇa, pacana, caṇḍāla and disa etc. which have a specific gender, the singularity and neuter gender are applicable in dvandva samāsa. In the sense of limbs of a living being, when singularity and neuter gender are applied to the words cakkhu and sota, the term nāma is applied due to samāsa and then the suffixes si etc. are applied as well as amādesa etc. are operated :- Cakkhusotaṃ, he cakkhusota, cakkhusotaṃ, cakkhusotena, similarly, only the singular is applicable everywhere. Mukhanāsikaṃ means mouth and nose. The shortening of the final vowel is applied by the rule ‘saro rasso napuṃsake’ (342-322). Hanugīvaṃ means chin and neck; similarly, kaṇṇanāsaṃ, pāṇipādaṃ, chavimaṃsalohitaṃ. However, the forms ‘hatthapādā’, maṃsalohitāni’ etc. are accomplished by itaretarayoga. Thus, in the sense of limbs of living beings.

In the sense of instruments of music : - gītavāditaṃ means singing and music, sammatāḷaṃ means cymbal and gong; the word ‘samma’ means bronze gong (beaten by one hand) The word ‘tālaṃ’ means a gong beaten by (both) hands. saṅkhapaṇḍavadeṇḍimaṃ means a trumpet, a small drum and a bronze drum, or trumpets, drums, and bronze drums. Both words beginning with ‘paṇḍava’ indicate particular drums. In the sense of yoggaṅga as :- phālapācanaṃ means ploughshare and goad, yuganaṅgalaṃ means yoke and plough. In the sense of senaṅga :- hatthiassaṃ means elephants and […] horses, rathapattikaṃ means chariots and soldiers, asi-cammaṃ means sword and camma. cammaṃ means the shield which obstructs an arrow. dhanukalāpaṃ means bow and kalāpa, the word ‘kalāpa’ means a quiver. In the sense of khuddajantuka :- ḍaṃsamasakaṃ means godfly and mosquito, similarly, kunthakipillikaṃ, kīṭapaṭaṅgaṃ, kīṭasarīsapaṃ. Among them, black ants are called ‘kunthā’. the grasshoppers are called ‘kīṭa’.

In the sense of vividhaviruddha :- ahinakulaṃ means snake and ichneumon or snakes and ichneumons; similarly, viḷāramūsikaṃ, the shortening of the final vowel is applicable. Kākolūkaṃ, sappamaṇḍūkaṃ, garuḷasappaṃ. In the sense of visabhāga :- sīlapaññāṇaṃ means morality and wisdom, samathavipassanaṃ means calmness and insight; similarly, nāmarūpaṃ, hirottappaṃ, satisampajaññaṃ lobhamohaṃ, uddhaccakukkuccaṃ etc. It should be known that sometimes, the neuter gender is not applicable because of the expression of ‘aṃ-o’ in the rule ‘aṃ o niggahitaṃ jhalapehi’ (82-149). By that, the words ’ādhipaccaparivāro, chandapārisuddhi, paṭisandhipavatti etc. are accomplished.

Now, in a dvandva compound of the words having a specific gender different from each other :- dāsidāsaṃ means female servant and male servant. The shortening is applied in the middle by the rule ‘kvaci ādi’ etc. (403-339). Similarly, itthipumaṃ; pattacīvaraṃ, sākhāpalāsaṃ etc. In a dvandva compound in the sense of saṅkhyā and parimāṇa :- ekakadukaṃ means single and double. In saṅkhyādvandva compound, the appasaṅkhyā (less in number) is to be put first. Similarly, dukatikaṃ, tikacatukkaṃ, catukkapañcakaṃ; dīghamajjhimaṃ means long and middle.

In a dvandva compound in the sense of pacana and caṇḍāla :- […] orabbhikasūkarikaṃ means the butchers of sheep and pork-butchers; similarly, sākuṇikammāgavikaṃ; sapākacaṇḍālaṃ means dog-cooker and caṇḍāla, pukkusachavaḷāhakaṃ, venarathakāraṃ. Among them carpenters are called ‘venā’, workers in leather are called ‘rathakārā’. In a dvandva compound in the sense of disā (direction) :- Having made the dvandva compound in the sense of ‘east-west’, singularity and neuter gender are made by the word ‘ādi’ in this context. The shortening is applied by the rule ‘saro rasso napuṃsake’ (342-322). Pubbāparaṃ, pubbāpareṇa, pubbāparassa etc. Similarly, puratthimapacchimaṃ, dakkhiṇuttaraṃ, adharuttaraṃ. Neuter gender, singularity and the word ‘dvandve’, are understood in the following:-

(323-345) Vibhāsā rukkha-tiṇa-pasu-dhana-dhañña-janapad-ādīnaṃ ca.

Section titled “(323-345) Vibhāsā rukkha-tiṇa-pasu-dhana-dhañña-janapad-ādīnaṃ ca.”

Also, for the (compound) of the words denoting rukkha, tiṇa, pasu, dhana, dhañña, janapada etc. option (is laid down).

In the dvandva compunds of the words denoting rukkha, tiṇa, pasu, dhana, dhañña, janapada etc. singularity and neuter gender are optionally applicable. The absence of singular is applicable.

“Sometimes, the word having less vowels, the word
having ‘i’ vaṇṇa and ‘u’ vaṇṇa, (and) the word
beginning with vowel and ending in ‘a’ are put as the
first members in a dvandva compound. In many
compounds the sequence of pada-s has not any particular
rule.”

The dvandva samāsa is over.

“The samāsa is fourfold according to the major member
being pubbapada, uttara-pada, ubhayapada, and
aññapada. It is sixfold with the inclusion of digu samāsa
and kammadhāraya samāsa. The abyayībhāva is twofold.
The kammadhāraya is ninefold. The digu is twofold. The
tappurisa is eightfold. The dvandva samāsa is twofold.
Thus, it is thirty-twofold.”

(Here ends) the samāsa-kaṇḍa,
the fourth chapter in the Rūpasiddhi.

Ākhyātakaṇḍa (the chapter on verbs).

Section titled “Ākhyātakaṇḍa (the chapter on verbs).”

Now, the verbal terminations are being told (which are to be applied) after roots indicating action. The pada indicating action is called ‘Ākhyāta’ because it narrates (ācikkhati) the action. For, it is told that the ākhyātika word indicates kāla, kāraka, and purisa, and its characteristics is an action. Then in this context, past etc. are called ‘kālo’. The object, subject, and condition are called ‘kārakaṃ’. The first person, second person and third person are called ‘purisā’. The meanings of the roots such as gamana, pacana etc. are called ‘kiriyā’. Kiriyālakkhaṇaṃ means that which has action as its symbol (lakkhaṇa). And, the gender is not appliable. And it is also told that :-

“The word which has three kāla-s, three purisa-s,
indicating action, having three kāraka-s and no gender,
(and) having two vacana-s, is called ‘ākhyāta’.”

Those which divide the root-meanings by the force of ‘kāla’ etc. are called ‘vibhatti-s’. They begin with ‘ti’ etc. However, they are eightfold: i) vattamānā, ii) pañcamī iii) sattamī, iv) parokkhā, v) hiyyattanī, vi) ajjattanī, vii) bhavissanti and viii) kālātipatti. The ‘dhātu-s’ are so called because they possess an action. They begin with the root ‘bhū’ and end with those ending in root-suffixes ‘kha’ etc. However, they are twofold in the meaning as :- i) sakammaka and ii) akammaka. Among them, the roots which express action depending on the object are called sakammaka. For example :- kaṭaṃ karoti (He is making a mat), gāmaṃ gacchati (He is going to village), odanaṃ pacati (He is cooking rice) etc. The roots which express action without expectancy of an object are called ‘akammaka’. […] For example :- acchati, seti, tiṭṭhati etc. Further, they are sevenfold by the difference of the vikaraṇa-suffixes. How ? The root ‘bhū’ etc. have ‘a-vikaraṇa’. The roots ‘rudha’ etc. have ‘a-vikaraṇa’ preceded by niggahita. The roots ‘diva’ etc. have ‘ya-vikaraṇa’. The roots ‘su’ etc. have ṇu, ṇa and uṇā as vikaraṇa-s. The roots ‘kī’ etc. have nā, ppa and ṇhā as vikaraṇa-s. The roots ‘tana’ etc. have ‘o-vikaraṇa’. In their root-meanings the roots cura etc. end in ‘ṇe’ and ‘ṇaya’. Now, in the context of roots bhu etc. having a-vikaraṇa, the first root is ‘bhū’ which is akammaka. After that ‘ti’ etc. are applied. ‘Bhū sattāya’ means the root ‘bhū’ is to be understood in the meaning of existance. It means that that root is used in the sense of becoming which is pervasive (common) action. Now, when we have bhū :-

The ‘bhū’ etc. are called dhātu-s.

The group of the words indicating actions beginning with ‘bhū’ etc. are called ‘dhātu-s’. Bhūvādayo means the roots which begin with bhu. Or, ‘bhūvādayo’ means belonging to the bhū, vā type (ādi).

“The sound ‘va’ in the word ‘bhūvādi’ should be know
as caused by ‘āgamasandhi’. Or, the roots of the ‘bhū’ and
‘vā’ type in the sense of sakammaka and akammaka.”

The word ‘kvaci’ from the rule ‘kvaci dhātu’ etc. (517-472) is to be understood in the following :-

(521-409) Dhātussa-anto lopo aneka-sarassa.

Section titled “(521-409) Dhātussa-anto lopo aneka-sarassa.”

The final of the root having more than one vowels is dropped.

[…] Sometimes, the final of the root having more than one vowels is dropped. The word ‘kvaci’ is understood to cancel the lopa in ‘mahiyati, samatho etc.’ Thus, in this context, because of the absence of more than one vowels, the elision of the final of the root is not applied. Further, when many suffixes would be available due to the governing ‘dhātu’ the pasaṅga would arise. Then the rule ‘vatticchānupubbikā saddappatipatti’ should be applied, and when the word vattamānā is desired :-

(423-410) Vattamānā ti anti si tha mi ma, te ante se vhe e mhe.

Section titled “(423-410) Vattamānā ti anti si tha mi ma, te ante se vhe e mhe.”

The ti, anti, si, tha, mi, ma, te, ante, se, vhe, e, mhe, are called ‘vattamānā’ (suffixes).

The twelve (vibhatti-s) beginning with ‘ti’ are called ‘vattamānā’. Thus, they are technically called ‘vattamānā’ because the vibhatti-s ‘ti’ etc. concern with the sense of the present.

In the sense of time.

‘kāle’ is the governing rule. After this (rule), everywhere, (the word ‘kāle’) is to be understood in the process of suffixes ‘ti’ etc.

The vattamānā terminations are used in the sense of present.

When the present tense is understood, a vattamānā suffix is applicable. Moreover, in this context, the word ‘kālo’ indicates ‘kiriyā’. Doing is ‘kāra’. The sound ‘ra’ becomes ‘la’ :- ‘kālo’. Therefore :-

“[…] When action is understood by the process of
terminations, they are applied after the roots only; thus,
terminations ‘ti’ etc. are accomplished.”

However, in this context, the specific word ‘paccuppanne’ is used because of kāla being divided sixfold by the force of atīta, anāgata, paccuppanna, āṇatti, parikappa and kālātipatti. Paccuppanna means arisen (uppanna) depending on (paṭicca) different causes. The meaning is ‘having obtained that nature, still not past’.

“Vattamānā vibhatti is used indirectly even in the tense
which is near to present. It is also used in past due
to the force of the word kāla.”

In that present tense, having applied a vattamānā vibhatti, as there is not a rule indicating the place of that suffix, the paribhāsā ‘dhātuliṅgehi parā paccayā’ is applied. Thus the vattamānā terminations are applied after a root. When there is not fixation about the terminations, the pasaṅga arises. According to ‘vatticchānupubbikā saddappaṭipatti’, the word ‘parassapada’ is desired :-

(406-413) Atha pubbāni vibhattīnaṃ cha parassapadāni.

Section titled “(406-413) Atha pubbāni vibhattīnaṃ cha parassapadāni.”

Now, the first six out of these terminations are called ‘parassapada-s’.

Now, after taddhita-s, the first six out of all terminations having eight groups beginning with ‘vattamānā’ are parassapadas. Accordingly, they are fourty-eight padas. Thus, in the beginning, the nomenclature parassapada is applied to six terminations. Parassa-padāni means the padas concerning […] the word ‘dhātūhi’ from the rule ‘dhātūhi ṇe ṇaye etc.’ (438-524) is applicable :-

The ‘parassapada’ is used in the active voice.

In the active voice, the ‘parassapada’ is applied after all the roots. Thus, even having applied the parassapada terminations, the pasaṅga arises regarding their non-fixation as they depend on the desire of the speaker. By the modification of vibhatti, the words ‘parassapadānaṃ and attanopadānaṃ’ are to be understood in the following :-

(408-415) Dve dve paṭhama-majjhima-uttama purisā.

Section titled “(408-415) Dve dve paṭhama-majjhima-uttama purisā.”

Two pairs are paṭhama, majjhima and uttama purisa-s.

The pairs belonging to parassapada and attanopada suffixes are called paṭhamapurisa, majjhimapurisa, and uttamapurisa respectively. It is as follows :- ti, anti, belong to paṭhamapurisa, si, tha, belong to majjhimapurisa, mi, ma, belong to uttamapurisa. Also among attanopada terminations :- te, ante, belong to paṭhamapurisa, se, vhe, belong to majjhimapurisa, e, mhe, belong to uttamapurisa. Similarly, it should be applied in the seven remaining terminations. Therefore, thirty-two each are applicable to paṭhama, majjhima and uttama-purisa-s belonging to ākhyātapadas divided into ninety-six by way of eight terminations. Thus, the pairs of pada-s are called ‘paṭhamapurisa’ in the beginning of parassapada belonging to the present terminations.

(410-416) Nāmamhi payujjamāne-pi tulyādhikaraṇe paṭhamo.

Section titled “(410-416) Nāmamhi payujjamāne-pi tulyādhikaraṇe paṭhamo.”

paṭhamapurisa (is laid down).

When a nāma except tumha and amha, having the same case-relation is used or not, the paṭhamapurisa terminations are applied after roots. So having applied the paṭhamapurisa terminations, - The pasaṅga arises due to non-fixation even of the paṭhama-purisa terminations. In the context of single performer desired by the speaker, the paribhāsā ‘ekamhivattabbe ekavacanaṃ’ is applicable. Thus, present third person singular termination belonging to the parassapada is accomplished. The words paro, paccayo and dhātu are governing. Similarly, the word kattari from the rule ‘kattari ca’ (454-424) is understood in the operation of vikaraṇa and paccaya.

The suffix ‘a’ is used after the root ‘bhū’ etc.

After the group of roots beginning with ‘bhū’, the suffix ‘a’ is used in active sense when the verbal terminations and suffixes follow. Only in the ‘sabbadhātuka’, the suffix ‘a’ is desired. The words ‘asaṃyogantassa’ and ‘vuddhi’ are understood in the following :-

And when other suffixes follow.

The roots not ending in conjuncts are lengthened when the suffixes other than kārita follow. By the force of the word ‘ca’, the suffix ‘ṇu’ also is lengthened. Moreover, in this context : the word ‘vā’ from the rule ‘ghatādinaṃ vā’ (448-526) is to be understood. And that is in the sense of vavatthitavibhāsā. By that :-

“[…] The ‘i’ vaṇṇa and ‘u’ vaṇṇa only of the roots ending
in ‘i’ and ‘u’ vaṇṇa-s and penultimate short vowels are
lengthened and not others. Even, the ‘i’ and ‘u’ vaṇṇa-s
are not lengthened when the suffixes ‘ya’, ‘ṇu’, ‘ṇā’,
‘nā’ and ‘niṭṭha’ etc. follow. When the ‘a’ vikaraṇa
follows, the roots ‘tuda’ etc. are not lengthened. It is
optionally lengthened in ‘chetvā’ etc.”

When again ‘pasaṅga’ of non-fixation arises, the change of sound ‘ū’ into ‘o’ is to be considered as vuddhi by paribhāsā ‘ayuvaṇṇānañcāyo vuddhi’. When the word ‘dhātūnaṃ’ is understood by the modification in the following :-

When a vowel follows, the (final) ‘o’ is changed into ‘ava’.

When a vowel follows, the final sound ‘o’ of the roots is changed into ‘ava’. When saralopa etc. are made by the rule ‘saralopo aṃ ādesa’ etc. (83-67), the paranaya should be done by the rule ‘naye paraṃ yutte’ (11-14). So puriso sādhu bhavati (That man is good), sā kaññā sādhu bhavati (That girl is good), taṃ cittaṃ sādhu bhavati (That mind is good). For, in this context : -

“The instrumental case is not applicable in the active
sense because the kattā is told by ākhyāta only.
However, the nominative case is applicable because of
the expected sense of gender”.

Even if, when there is a single verb, because of many performers, […] the rule ‘bahumhi vattabbe bahuvacanaṃ’ is applicable. Thus, the present third person plural termination ‘anti’ belonging to parassapada is accomplished. The suffix ‘a’, vuddhi, ava-substitute and saralopa etc. are applicable as before. Te purisā bhavanti (Those are men). Even when it (kattā) is not used :- bhavati bhavanti. The words payujjamānepi and tulyādhikaraṇe are to be understood in the following :-

In (the case of) ‘tumha’, the second person (is laid down).

When the word ‘tumha’ having the same case-relation is used or not, the majjhimapurisa terminations are applied after roots. Thus, the present second person, singular termination ‘si’ belonging to the parassapada is accomplished. The remaining process is as before. Tvaṃ bhavasi, tumhe bhavatha (you are). Or when the subject is not used :- bhavasi, bhavatha. Why the word ‘talyādhikaraṇe’ is used ? For, we have :- tayā paccate odano (Rice is being cooked by you). When the same words are governing:-

In (the case of) ‘amha’, the uttamapurisa (is laid down).

When the word ‘amha’ having the same case-relation is used or not, the uttamampurisa terminations are applied after roots. Thus, the present first person singular termination ‘mi’ belonging to parassapada is accomplished. The suffix ‘a’, the vuddhi, and ava-substitute are applicable.

When the terminations ‘hi’, ‘mi’, ‘ma’ follow, the vowel ‘a’ is lengthened.

[…] The vowel ‘a’ becomes long when the terminations hi, mi and ma follow. Tvaṃ bhavāhi (You are), ahaṃ bhavāmi (I am) mayaṃ bhavāma (We are); bhavāhi, bhavāmi, bhavāma. The words ‘vibhattīnaṃ’ and ‘cha’ are understood in the following :-

The latter are ‘attanopada-s’.

The latter six pada-s in each set of the entire eight terminations beginning with ‘vattamānā’ are called ‘attanopadas’. Thus, the terminations ‘te’ etc. are technically called ‘attanopada’. The words ‘dhātūhi’ and ‘attanopadāni’ are understood in the following :-

And in the active sense.

The attanopada terminations are also used after the roots when the case-relation is ‘kattā’. The word ‘ca’ is used to cancel the rule for some usages. The remaining process should be understood by that which is told in parassapada above. Bhavate, bhavante, bhavase, bhavavhe, bhave, bhavāmhe. The root ‘paca’ is used in the sense of ‘cooking’. The elision of the final of the root is applicable because the term ‘dhātu’ is applicable. ‘Ti’ etc. are applied by the process which is told before. However, the difference in this context, is that the ‘vuddhi’ is not applicable due to the absence of ‘i’ vaṇṇa and ‘u’ vaṇṇa. So devadatto odanaṃ pacati (That Devadatta is cooking rice), pacanti, pacasi, pacatha, pacāmi, pacāma. So odanaṃ pacate (He is cooking rice), te pacante (They are cooking), tvaṃ pacase (You are cooking), tumhe pacavhe (You are cooking), ahaṃ pace ([…] I am cooking), mayaṃ pacāmhe (We are cooking). When there would arise a pasaṅga of simultaneous application of paṭhamapurisa etc. the following paribhāsā is being told :-

(409-425) Sabbesaṃ eka-abhidhāne paro puriso.

Section titled “(409-425) Sabbesaṃ eka-abhidhāne paro puriso.”

In single reference to all, the latter purisa (is used).

The latter purisa should be applied when paṭhamapurisa and majjhimapurisa, paṭhamapurisa and uttamapurisa, majjhimapurisa and uttamapurisa or the three purisa-s together occur in single reference. And this abhidhāna is applicable only when the sentences belong to the same tense. The alternative expression for ‘so ca pacati tvaṃ pacasi’, we have ‘tumhe pacatha’ (You are cooking). Similarly, for ‘so ca pacati ahañca pacāmi’, we have ‘mayaṃ pacāma’ (We cook). Furthermore, ‘tvañca pacasi ahañca pacāmi’ becomes ‘mayaṃ pacāma’ (We cook). Similarly, it should be applied everywhere. Why the word ‘ekābhidhāne’ is used ? For, we have :- So ca pacati (He also cooks), tvañca pacissasi (You will cook), ahaṃ paciṃ (I cooked). In this context, ‘mayaṃ pacimhā’ is not applicable because of different tenses. The root ‘gama’ is used in the sense of moving and going. As above the elision of the final of the root is applicable because the term dhātu is applicable. In the active sense, ‘ti’ etc. are also applicable.

When any (suffix) follows, the final of the root ‘gama’ is optionally changed into ‘ccha’.

When any suffix follows, the final sound ‘ma’ of the root ‘gama’ […] and kārita suffixes are included. The word ‘vā’ is for vavatthitavibhāsā. By that, this (is told) :-

“The word ‘vā’ indicates fixation in the active sense,
regarding the suffixes māna and anta. Elsewhere it does not
indicate fixation. It implies negation regarding Parokkha.”

The suffix ‘a’ and the process of paranaya should be applied. So puriso gāmaṃ gacchati (That man is going to the village), Te gacchanti (They are going). By the rule ‘kvaci dhātu’ etc. (517-472), when third person plural follows a short vowel preceded by garu sound, it changes into ‘re’ optionally. Gacchare, tvaṃ gacchasi (you go), tumhe gacchatha (you go), ahaṃ gacchāmi (I go), mayaṃ gacchāma (We go). When the ‘ccha-substitute’ is not applicable :- The suffix ‘a’ becomes ‘e’ by the rule ‘lopānca ettaṃ akāro’ (510-471). Gameti, gamenti :- Saralopa is applicable. Gamesi, gametha, gamemi, gamema. In attanopada also :- so gāmaṃ gacchate (He goes to the village), gacchante, gacchare, gacchase, gacchavhe, gacche, gacchamhe. However, in ‘kuto nu tvaṃ āgacchasi’ (Where do you come from ?), rājagahato āgacchāmi (I come from rājagaha-city) etc. the vattamānā termination is used in the sense of near to paccuppanna. The word ‘vā’ is understood in the following :-

The root ‘gamu’ (is changed) into ‘ghamma’.

The entire root ‘gamu’ is optionally changed into ‘ghamma’. Ghammati ghammanti etc. Furthermore, in the sense of bhāva and kamma:-

(453-428) Attanopadāni bhāve ca kammāni.

Section titled “(453-428) Attanopadāni bhāve ca kammāni.”

The attanopada-s are used in the impersonal and passive sense.

The passive terminations are used in the kāraka called bhāva (impersonal) and kamma (passive). By the word ‘ca’, they are applicable also to kamma-kattari. And that bhāva is not connected with another kāraka. The root-meaning is just becoming, cutting etc. Kamma is so called because the action takes place (kariyati). Even the akammaka roots having upasaggas become transitive. Therefore, in the passive sense after the root ‘bhū’ preceded by ‘anu’, the termination ‘te’ belonging to vattamānā, attanopada, third person, singular is applied. When the word ‘dhātūhi’ from the rule ‘dhātūhi ṇe ṇya etc.’ (438-524) is understood in the following :-

The suffix ‘ya’ (is used) in the sense of ‘bhāva’ and ‘kamma’.

After all roots, the suffix ‘ya’ is used in impersonal and passive sense. The suffix ‘ya’ is to be applied optionally in the expression of attanopada. By the word ‘vā’ continued from the rule ‘aññesu ca’ (485-418), the vuddhi is not applicable before the suffix ‘ya’. Anubhūyate sukhaṃ devadattena (The happiness is being experienced by Devadatta).

“The instumental case is applied in the active sense because
the subject is not referred to by ākhyāta. The accusative
case is not applicable. In this context, the Nominative case
is applicable because the object is referred to.”

Anubhūyante sampattiyo tayā (The prosperities are being enjoyed by […] Devadatta), anubhuyavhe tumhe (You are being experienced), ahaṃ anubhūye tayā (I am experienced by you), mayaṃ anubhūyāmhe (We are being experienced). When the word ‘kvaci’ from the rule ‘kvaci dhātu’ etc. (517-472) is understood in the following :-

(518-430) Attanopadāni parassapadattaṃ.

Section titled “(518-430) Attanopadāni parassapadattaṃ.”

The attanopada-s (acquire the state of) parassapada.

Sometimes, the attanopada-s are changed into parassapada. This is applicable only when it is not active sense. The sound ‘ya’ becomes double. Anubhuyyati or anubhuyyate mayā sukhaṃ (The happiness is being anjoyed by me), anubhuyyanti, anubhuyyasi, anubhuyyatha, anubhuyyāmi, anubhuyyāma. When (the suffix ‘ya’) is not reduplicated :- anubhūyati anubhūyanti. Why the word ‘kvaci’ ? For, we have the form ‘anubhūyate’. In impersonal construction, only the singular is applicable because of the singularity of bhāva which has no object. And that (ekavacana) is applicable only to paṭhamapurisa. Bhuyyate devadattena (Devadatta exists). The meaning is present existance. And after the root ‘paca’ when the suffix ‘ya’ is applied in attanopada in the passive sense :- When the word ‘yassa’ is to be understood by modification in the following : -

(441-431) Tassa ca-vagga-yakāra-vakārattamsadhātu-antassa.

Section titled “(441-431) Tassa ca-vagga-yakāra-vakārattamsadhātu-antassa.”

It, together with the final of the root, is changed into ca-vagga, ya and va.

The suffix ‘ya’ indicatiang bhāva and kamma becomes ca-vagga, ‘ya’ and ‘va’ together with the final of the root as the case may be. Moreover, […] is to be taken by sīhagati. And that is in the sense of vavatthitavibhāsā. By that :-

“‘Ca’ and ‘ta’ vagga-s occuring as the finals of roots
become ca-vagga-s. The sounds ‘ra’ and ‘va’ together with
the suffixes become ‘ya’ and ‘va’ respectively.”

When the sound ‘ca’ is applicable as the final of the root belongs to ca-vagga, the sound ‘ca’ becomes double by the rule ‘paradvebhāvo ṭhāne’ (28-40). Paccate odano devadattena (Rice is being cooked by Devadatta). By the rule ‘kvaci dhātu’ etc. (517-472), it is changed into ‘re’ in the paṭhamapurisa plural after the short vowel being preceded by garu. Paccare, paccante, paccase, paccavhe, pacce, paccāmhe. When the parassapada-substitute is applicable :- Paccati paccanti, paccasi,paccatha, pacccāmi paccāma. Similarly, in the passive sense and active sense :- paccate odano sayaṃ eva (Rice is being cooked by itself only). paccante, paccati or paccanti etc. After the root ‘gama’ when the suffix ‘ya’ is applied in attanopada in the passive sense :- The words ‘dhātūhi’, ‘tasmiṃ’ and ‘ye’ are understood :-

The ‘i’-vaṇṇa is optionally augmented.

When the suffix ‘ya’ indicating bhāva and kamma follows, the ‘i-vaṇṇa’ is optionally augmented after all roots. Thus, the sound ‘i’ is augmented. The word ‘vā’ is in the sense of vavatthitavibhāsā. Ccha-substitute is applicable. Gacchiyate gāmo devadattena (The village is being approached by Devadatta). gacchiyante. gacchiyase. gacchiyavhe. […] The words dhātūhi, yo and vā are understood :-

And the form of the preceding (consonant is laid down).

This rule is applicable after the roots which are not referred to above. By that, the suffix ‘ya’ after the roots ending in ka, a ṭa, pa-vagga-s, ya, la, and sa only, is changed into the form of the preceding consonant. By the force of vā after the sound ‘ma’, the suffix ‘ya’ becomes ‘ma’. Gammate, gamiyate, gammante, gamiyante, gammase, gamiyase, gammavhe, gamiyavhe, gamme, gamiye, gammāmhe, gamiyāmhe. Now, when it is parassapada :- gacchiyyati gacchiyyanti or gacchiyati gacchiyanti. gammati gammanti. gamiyati gamiyanti. When the sound ‘i’ is augmented :- gamiyyati gamiyyanti. Similarly, ghammiyati ghammiyanti etc.

(Here ends) the vattamānā vibhatti.

(424-434) Pañcamī tu antu hi tha mi ma, taṃ antaṃ ssu vho e āmhase.

Section titled “(424-434) Pañcamī tu antu hi tha mi ma, taṃ antaṃ ssu vho e āmhase.”

Tu, antu, hi, tha, mi, ma, taṃ,, antaṃ, ssu, vho, e, āmhase are called ‘pañcamī’ (suffixes).

The twelve (vibhatti) beginning with ‘tu’ etc. are called ‘pañcamī’.

(415-435) Āṇatti-āsiṃsaṭṭhe anutta-kāle pañcamī.

Section titled “(415-435) Āṇatti-āsiṃsaṭṭhe anutta-kāle pañcamī.”

The pañcamī terminations are used in the sense of command and blessing when time is ‘anutta’.

[…] When time is ‘anutta’ the pañcamī - suffix is applicable in the sense of command and blessing. Even, when ‘kāla’ is governing, the word ‘kāla’ has occured again. By that pañcamī - vibhatti is applicable in the sense of vidhi, nimantana, ajjhesana, anumati, patthana, pattakāla etc. Āṇatti means ordering. Āsimsā means blessing. And that āsiṃsiṭṭha means a desired thing which is not obtained. Thus, anatthāsiṃsaṭṭhe means in those ‘āṇatti’ and ‘āsiṃsaṭṭha’. ‘Anuttakāla’ means the time which is expressed in one’s vicinity (anu). That is ‘paccuppannakāla’. Or, the time which is not referred to is ‘anuttakāla’. In that ‘anuttakāla’ means when the time does not concern. In this context, the pañcamī termination ’tu; third person, singular is used after the root ‘bhū’ in the sense of āsiṃsana (blessing). The suffix ‘a’, vuddhi and ava-substitute are applicable. So sukhī bhavatu (May he be happy), te sukhitā bhavantu (May they be happy). The word ‘akārato’ from the rule ‘akāro dīghaṃ himimesu’ (478-422), is understood by modification in the following :-

The termination ‘hi’ is optionally elided.

After the sound ‘a’, the suffix ‘hi’ is optionally elided. Tvaṃ sukhī bhava or bhavāhi (May you be happy). Lengthening is applicable when ‘hi’ follows. Tumhe sukhitā bhavatha (May you be happy), ahaṃ sukhī bhavāmi (May I be happy), mayaṃ sukhino bhavāma (May we be happy). In attanopada :- so sukhī bhavataṃ (May he be happy), te sukhitā bhavantaṃ (May they be happy), tvaṃ sukhī bhavassu (May you be happy), tumhe sukhitā bhavavho (May you be happy), ahaṃ sukhī bhave (May I be happy), […]

Now, in the passive sense :- anubhūyataṃ tayā (May you experience), anubhūyantaṃ; anubhūyassu, anubhūyavho; anubhūye, anubhūyamhase. When it is in parassapada :- anubhuyyatu, anubhuyyantu; or anubhūyatu, anubhūyantu; anubhuyyāhi etc. In impersonal (bhāva) :- bhūyataṃ.

Now, in the active sense of command :- devadatto dāni odanaṃ pacatu (Now, Devadatta should cook rice), pacantu; paca, pacāhi, pacatha; pacāmi, pacāma. pacataṃ, pacantaṃ, pacassu, pacavho; pace pacāmhase. In the passive sense : the processess like the suffix ‘ya’ into ca-vagga etc. are applicable. Paccataṃ odano devadattena (Rice should be cooked by Devadatta), paccantaṃ; paccassu, paccavho,; pacce, paccāmhase. When it is in parassapada :- paccatu, paccantu; pacca, paccāhi, paccatha; paccāmi, paccāma. Similarly, so gāmaṃ gacchatu (He should go to the village), gacchantu; gacchāhi, gacchatha; gacchāmi, gacchāma. gametu, gamentu; gama, gamāhi, gametha; gamemi, gamema. gacchataṃ, gacchantaṃ; gacchassu gacchavho; gacche, gacchāmhase. When there is ghamma-substitute :- ghammatu, ghammantu etc. In the passive sense :- gacchiyataṃ, gacchiyatu; gamiyataṃ, gamiyatu, gammataṃ, gammatu etc.

In the sense of vidhi :- idha pabbato hotu (The mountain should be here), ayaṃpāsādo suvaṇṇamayo hotu (This palace should be made of gold) etc. In the sense of nimantana (invitation) :- adhivāsetu may bhante bhagavā bhojanaṃ (The honourable Blessed One may accept my invitation of food), idha nisīdatu bhavaṃ (May the honourable one take a seat here).

In the sense of ajjhesana (request) :- desetu bhante bhagavā dhammaṃ (May honourable Blessed One preach the doctrine).

Section titled “(425-437) Sattamī eyya eyyuṃ eyyāsi eyyātha eyyāmi eyyāma, etha eraṃ etho eyyavho eyyaṃ eyyāmhe.”

The suffixes eyya, eyyuṃ, eyyāsi, eyyātha, eyyāmi eyyāma, etha, eraṃ, etho, eyyavho, eyyaṃ, eyyāmhe, are called ‘sattamī’.

The twelve (vibhatti-s) beginning with ‘eyya’ are called ‘sattamī’. The word ‘anuttakāle’ is understood.

(416-438) Anumati-parikappa-atthesu sattamī.

Section titled “(416-438) Anumati-parikappa-atthesu sattamī.”

The sattamī terminations are used in the sense of consent and expression of possibility.

The sattamī vibhatti is used in anuttakāla in the sense of anumati and parikappa. By the word ‘attha’, sattamī terminations are also used in the sense of vidhi, nimantana etc. The consent to the other who wants to perform is ‘anumati’. The decision is parikappa. The expression with […] fruit-action when the cause-action is possible. This is ‘sambhava-parikappa’. Among them, regarding ‘parikappa’, the potential, third person, singular termination ‘eyya’ belonging to parassapada is accomplished. The suffix ‘a’ and vuddhi etc. are similar to the previous. By the rule ‘kvaci dhātu’ etc. (517-472), the sound ‘e’ is optionally substituted for the suffixes ‘eyya’, eyyāsi, eyyāmi and eyyaṃ. So dāni kinnukho bhave (Now, how he would be ?), yadi so paṭhamavaye pabbajeyya arahā bhaveyya (If he would be ordained in childhood he would be arahā), sace saṅkhārā niccā bhaveyyuṃ na nirujjheyyuṃ (If, the formations would be permanent, they would not be destroyed), yadi tvaṃ bhaveyyāsi (If you would be), tumhe bhaveyyātha (If you would be), kathaṃ ahaṃ devo bhaveyyāmi (How would I be a god ?), kinnukho mayaṃ bhaveyyāma (What we would be ?). Similarly, bhavatha, bhaveraṃ, bhavetho, bhaveyyavho.

On the other hand, in the sense of patthana :- ahaṃ sukhī bhave (May I be happy), buddho bhaveyyaṃ (May I be the Enlightened One), bhaveyyāmhe. In the passive sense :- sukhaṃ tayā anubhūyetha (The happiness may be experienced by you), anubhūyeraṃ; anubhūyetho, anubhūyeyyavho; anubhūye, anubhūyeyyaṃ, anubhūyeyyāmhe. When it is parassapada :- anubhūyeyya; anubhuyeyyuṃ; anubhūyeyyāsi etc. In the impersonal :- bhūyetha. In the sense of vidhi :- so odanaṃ pace / paceyya (He should cook rice), te paceyyuṃ (They should cook); tvaṃ pace / paceyyāsi, tumhe paceyyātha; (You should cook), ahaṃ pace / paceyyāmi (I should cook), mayaṃ paceyyāma (We should cook); pacetha paceraṃ; pacetho paceyyavho; pace paceyyaṃ, paceyyāmhe.

In the sense of anumati :- so gāmaṃ padena gaccheyya (He may go to the village on foot). By the rule ‘kvaci dhātu’ etc. (517-472), the termination ‘eyyaṃ’ is changed into ‘uṃ’. Gacchuṃ, gaccheyyuṃ; tvaṃ gacche (You may go), gaccheyyāsi, gaccheyyātha; gacche, gaccheyyāmi gaccheyyāma; game / gameyya, gamuṃ / gameyyuṃ; game gameyyāasi, gameyyātha; game gameyyāmi gameyyāma; gacchetha, gaccheraṃ; gacchetho, gaccheyyavho; gacche gaccheyyaṃ, gaccheyyāmhe; gametha, gameraṃ etc. In the passive sense :- gacchiyetha, gamiyetha; gacchiyeraṃ, gamiyeraṃ etc. When it is in parassapada :- gacchiyeyya, gamiyeyya / gammeyya, gammeyyuṃ etc. Similarly, ghamme / ghammeyya, ghammeyyuṃ etc.

(Here ends) the sattamī-vibhatti.

The process of terminations of paccuppanna, āṇatti, and parikappa is over.

(427-439) Hiyyattanī ā ū o ttha aṃ mhā, ttha tthuṃ se vhaṃ iṃ mhase.

Section titled “(427-439) Hiyyattanī ā ū o ttha aṃ mhā, ttha tthuṃ se vhaṃ iṃ mhase.”

The terminations ā, ū, o, ttha, aṃ, mhā, ttha, tthuṃ, se, vhaṃ, iṃ and mhase are called ‘hiyyattanī’.

The twelve (vibbatti-s) beginning with ‘ā’ are called ‘hiyyattanī’. The words ‘apaccakkhe’ and ‘atīte’ are understood :-

(418-440) Hiyyo-pabhūti paccakkhe hiyyattanī.

Section titled “(418-440) Hiyyo-pabhūti paccakkhe hiyyattanī.”

The hiyyattanī (suffixes) are used in the sense of paccakkha regarding (the past) before yesterday.

[…] The hiyyattanī suffixes are used in the sense of past before yesterday noticed or unnoticed. Thus, the past (imperfect), third person, singular termination ‘ā’ belonging to parassapada is accomplished. The words ‘kvaci’ and ‘dhātūnaṃ’ from the rule ‘kvaci dhātu’ etc. (517-472) are understood:-

(519-441) Akār-āgamo hiyyattanī-ajjattanī-kālātipattīsu.

Section titled “(519-441) Akār-āgamo hiyyattanī-ajjattanī-kālātipattīsu.”

When the hiyyattanī, ajjattanī, and kālātipatti (suffixes) follow, the sound ‘a’ is augmented.

When the three terminations hiyyattanī, ajjattanī, and kālātipatti follow, sometimes, the vowel ‘a’ is augmented before the roots. Now, if it is asked, ’how the vowel ‘a’ is augmented before the roots ?’ -

“As the roots end in a vowel again augmenting ‘a’ at the
final has no use, according to the grammatical process;
therefore this augment occurs at the initial of roots.”

The suffix ‘a’, vuddhi, ava-substitute, saralopa etc. are applicable according to the naya which has been told above. Abhavā abhavū; abhavo:- By the rule ‘kvaci dhātu’ etc. (517-472), the vowel ‘o’ is optionally substituted for ‘a’. Abhava, abhavattha. abhavaṃ, abhavamhā, abhavattha, abhavatthuṃ; abhavase, abhavavhaṃ; abhaviṃ, abhavamhase. In the passive sense :- the suffix ‘ya’ is applicable. Tayā sukhaṃ anvabhūyattha (The happiness is experienced by you). When the vowel ‘a’ is not augmented:- anubhūyattha. By the rule ‘kvaci dhātu’ etc. (517-472), ‘ttha’ is changed into ‘tha’. Anvabhūyatha anubhūyatha, anvabhūyatthaṃ anubhūyatthaṃ; anvabhūyase anubhūyavhaṃ; anvabhūyiṃ, anubhūyiṃ, anvabhūyamhase […] […] the bhāva :- anvabhūyattha.

Similarly, so odanaṃ apacā / pacā (He has cooked rice), apacū / apcū; apaco / paco, apacattha / pacattha; apacaṃ / pacaṃ, apacamhā / pacamhā; apacattha / pacattha, apacatthuṃ / pacatthuṃ; apacase / pacase, apacavhaṃ / pacavhaṃ; apaciṃ / paciṃ, apacamhase / pacamhase. In the passive sense:- apaccatha apaccattha, apaccatthuṃ; apaccase, apaccavhaṃ; apacciṃ, apaccamhase. apaccā apaccū etc. Similarly, agacchā, agacchū; agaccho, agaccha, agacchattha; agacchaṃ, agacchamhā; agacchattha, agacchatthuṃ; agacchase, agacchavhaṃ; agacchiṃ, agacchamhase. Agamā, agamū; agamo agama, agamattha; agamaṃ, agamamhā; agamattha, agamatthuṃ; agamase, agamavhaṃ; agamiṃ, agamamhase. In the passive sense :- agacchiyattha / gacchiyattha, agamiyattha / gamiyattha, agacchiyatthuṃ / gacchiyatthuṃ, agamiyatthuṃ/ gamiyatthuṃ, etc. Furthermore, aghammā aghammū etc.

(Here ends) the hiyyattanī vibhatti.

(431-442) Hiyyattanī-sattamī-Pañcamī-vattamānā sabbadhātukaṃ.

Section titled “(431-442) Hiyyattanī-sattamī-Pañcamī-vattamānā sabbadhātukaṃ.”

The hiyyattanī, sattamī, pañcamī and vattamānā (suffixes) are called ‘sabbadhātuka’.

The four types of terminations beginning with ‘hiyyattanī’ are called sabbadhātuka. Thus, because of the term sabbadhātuka applied to the terminations hiyyattanī etc. the said augmentation of the vowel ‘i’ according to the rule ‘ikār-āgamo asabbadhātukamhi’ (516-450), is not applicable.

(Here end) the sabbadhātuka suffixes.

(426-443) Parokkhā a u e ttha aṃ mha, ttha re ttho vho iṃ mhe.

Section titled “(426-443) Parokkhā a u e ttha aṃ mha, ttha re ttho vho iṃ mhe.”

The suffixes a, u, e, ttha, aṃ, mha, ttha, re, ttho, vho, iṃ, mhe are called ‘parokkha’.

The twelve (vibhatti-s) beginning with ‘a’ are called ‘parokkha’. Parokkha means beyond (paraṃ) senses (akkha). Due to indicating that, this vibhatti is called ‘parokkhā’.

The parokkhā terminations are used to express a past event in the context of a thing not experienced by senses.

The parokkhā terminations are applicable when a past time which is not the object of senses of the speaker is referred to. ‘Atīta’ means past from here (ito) after having gone beyond (atikkamma). The meaning is : ‘having gone after existing’. The past perfect third person singular termination ‘a’ belonging to parassapada is accomplished by the process which is told above. Now, bhū-a :- The word ‘dhātūnaṃ’ is understood by modification.

(458-445) kvaci ādi-vaṇṇānaṃ eka-ssarānaṃ dve-bhāvo.

Section titled “(458-445) kvaci ādi-vaṇṇānaṃ eka-ssarānaṃ dve-bhāvo.”

The initial sounds (of the roots) having a single vowel are sometimes reduplicated.

Sometimes, the initial sounds of the roots having a single vowel become doubled. The word ‘kvaci’ indicates vavatthitavibhāsā. By that :-

“[…] When the suffixes kha, cha, and sa follow, the dvebhāva
(reduplication) is applicable to all roots in parokkha
terminations. Sometimes, even when the suffix ‘a’ belonging
to kiccapaccaya etc. - of the group of roots beginning with
‘juhoti’ - follows, the reduplication is applicable.”

Now, bhū bhū + a :-

The preceding (part) is ‘abbhāsa’.

The preceding part of the reduplicated root is called ‘abbhāsa’. Thus, the technical term ‘abbhāsa’ is applicable. The word ‘abbhāsa’ is to be taken in the following :-

(465-447) Antassa ivaṇṇa - akāro vā.

Section titled “(465-447) Antassa ivaṇṇa - akāro vā.”

The final (vowel) optionally (becomes) ‘i’-vaṇṇa and ‘a’.

The final vowel of the reduplicated syllable is optionally changed into ‘i-vaṇṇa’ and ‘a’. The word ‘vā’ is for vavatthitavibhāsā. By that :-

“The vowel ‘i’ is applicable for a-vaṇṇa when the suffixes
kha, cha, and sa follow, (and) for the root ‘gupa’. The
vowel ‘ī’ is applicable to the final (of vā). The final of
the root ‘bhū’ becomes ‘a’ in parokkha-vibhatti. These (i
vaṇṇa and a) are not applicable to other (roots)”.

The vowel ‘ū’ becomes ‘a’.

(461-448) Dutiyā-catutthīnaṃ paṭhama-tatiyā.

Section titled “(461-448) Dutiyā-catutthīnaṃ paṭhama-tatiyā.”

[…] third.

The second and fourth consonants in a vagga belonging to duplication become the first and third respectively. Thus, the consonant ‘bha’ becomes ‘ba’.

(475-449) Brū-bhūnaṃ āha-bhūvā parokkhāyaṃ.

Section titled “(475-449) Brū-bhūnaṃ āha-bhūvā parokkhāyaṃ.”

When the parokkhā terminations follows, the roots brū and bhū (are changed into) āha and bhūva.

When the parokkhā terminations follow, the roots ‘brū’ and ‘bhū’ are changed into ‘āha’ and ‘bhūva’. Thus, the word ‘bhū’ is substituted by ‘bhūva’. Saralopa etc. are applicable by the rule ‘saralopo amādesappaccayādimhi’ (83-67). So kira rājā babhūva (You know he had become a king), te kira babhūvu (You know they have become); tvaṃ kira babhūve (You know you have become). The word ‘dhātūhi’ is understood. And the word ‘kvaci’ is understood by sīhagati.

When ‘asabbadhātuka terminations’ follows, the vowel ‘i’ is augmented.

When any asabbadhātuka termination follows, sometimes, the vowel ‘i’ is augmented after the roots.

“This augment is applicable when a non-sabbadhātuka
termination beginning with a consonant follows. Due to
the governing ‘kvaci’, sometimes, this augment would
not be there even if a termination beginning with a […]

Moreover, in this context, the analysis of ‘asabbadhātukaṃ’ is : ‘that which is not sabbadhātuka’. By the rule ‘hiyyattanī sattamī pañcamī vattamānā sabbadhātukaṃ’ (431-442), the term sabbadhātuka is applied to hiyyattanī terminations etc. The four terminations other than those are called ‘asabbadhātuka’. Tumhe kira babhūvittha (Indeed, you had been); ahaṃ kira babhūvaṃ (Indeed I had been), mayaṃ kira babhūvimhe (Indeed we had been). In attanopada :- so babhūvittha (He had been), babhūvire; babhūvittho babhūvivho; babhūviṃ babhūvimhe; In the passive sense :- the augmentation of ‘ī’, the suffix ‘ya’ and the augmentation of ‘i’ are applicable in attanopada. Anubabhūviyittha. When the elision of the suffix ‘ya’ is made by the rule ‘kvaci dhātu’ etc. (517-472), the i-vaṇṇa is not augmented when asabbadhātuka termination follows. Tayā kira anubabhūvittha (Indeed you have been experienced), anubabhūvire etc. In the bhāva sense :- babhūviyittha, or babhūvittha. Similarly, papaca, papacu; papace, papacittha; papacaṃ, papacimha; papacittha, papacire; papacittho, papacivho; papaciṃ, papacimhe. In the passive sense :- papaccittha, papaccire etc. Similarly, apacca, apaccū etc.

With regard to ‘gama’ the dvebhāva is applicable by the rule ‘kvacādivaṇṇānaṃ’ etc. (458-445). The term abbhāsa is applied by the rule ‘pubbo abbhāso’ (459-446). The word ‘abbhāse’ is understood :-

The ‘ka’ class (is changed into) ‘ca’ class.

The ‘ka’ vagga belonging to abbhāsa becomes ‘ca’ vagga; thus, the ‘ga’ becomes ‘ja’. By the rule ‘kvaci dhātu’ etc. (517-472), lengthening […] termination follows. So gāmaṃ jagama kira (Indeed, he had gone to the village), jagama or jagamu; jagame, jagamittha; jagamaṃ, jagamimha; jagamittha, jagamire; jagamittho, jagamivho; jagamiṃ, jagamimhe. In the passive sense:- jagamīyittha, or jagamittha etc.

(Here end) Parokkhā terminations.

(428-452) Ajjattanī ī uṃ o ttha iṃ mhā ā ū se vhaṃ aṃ mhe.

Section titled “(428-452) Ajjattanī ī uṃ o ttha iṃ mhā ā ū se vhaṃ aṃ mhe.”

The suffixes ī, uṃ, o, ttha, iṃ, mhā, ā, ū, se, vhaṃ, aṃ and mhe are called ‘ajjattanī’’.

The twelve (vibhatti-s) beginning with ‘ī’ are called ajjattanī. Ajjattanī means existing (time) (upto) today. This vibhatti is called ‘ajjattanī’ because it indicates ajjattano. The words apaccakkhe, atīte, and paccakkhe are understood :-

The ajjattanī (suffixes) are used in the sense of near (past).

The ajjattanī is used to denote a past event which happened before today noticed or unnoticed by the narrator. Thus, the Aorist, third person, singular termination ‘ī’ belonging to parassapada is accomplished.

The augmentation of the vowel ‘a’ and vuddhi are applicable as before. By the rule ‘kvaci dhātu’ etc. (517-472) sometimes, shorthening is applicable to the terminations ‘ī’ and ‘mhā’ etc. The terminations ‘o’, ‘ā’, […] So abhavī or abhavi (He had been). When the augmentation of ‘a’ is not applicable : bhavi. The word ‘vā’ is understood by maṇḍūkagati in the following :-

After all (roots) ‘uṃ’ (becomes) ‘iṃsu’.

The termination ‘uṃ’ is substituted by ‘iṃsu’ optionally after all roots. Te abhaviṃsu or bhaviṃsu (They had been), abhavuṃ or bhavuṃ; tvaṃ abhavi or bhavi (You had been) abhavo or bhavo; tumhe abhavittha or bhavittha (You had been). The vowel ‘i’ is augmented. Ahaṃ abhaviṃ or bhaviṃ (I had been), mayaṃ abhaviṃha or bhaviṃha (We had been), abhavimhā or bhavimhā.

The twelve terminations beginning with ‘ssati’ are called ‘bhavissanti’. This vibhatti is called ‘bhavissanti’ because it indicates future time.

The bhavissanti terminations (are used) in the sense of future.

The bhavissanti terminations are used in the sense of future time.

“Even in the sense of past, the bhavissanti is applicable
due to the desire to indicate that tense; as in :

The entire root ‘hara’ is changed into ‘giṃ’ when the suffix ‘sa’ follows. Even the root ‘ji’ becomes ‘giṃ’ by yogavibhāga from ‘giṃ se’ (in the present rule). The reduplication is applicable because the term dhātu is applicable even to a substitute indirectly due to the position. Bhikkhaṃ jigiṃsati (He wishes to take away the food.), jigiṃsanti. The root ‘su’ is used in the sense of listening. Sotuṃ icchati (One desires to hear.), sussūsati sussūsanti :- By the rule ‘kvaci dhātu’ etc. (517-472) lengthening is applicable. The root ‘pā’ is used in the sense of drinking. In the sense of ‘wishing for drink’ :- the suffix ‘sa’, reduplication, and the substitute ‘i’ are applicable. The substitute ‘vā’ is applicable by the rule ‘tato pāmānānaṃ vāmaṃ sesu’ (467-517). Pivāsati pivāsanti etc. The root ‘ji’ is used in the sense of winning. Vijetuṃ icchati (He wishes to win), vijigiṃsati etc. In the sense of ‘The Order makes itself like a mountain’ or ‘The Order behaves like a mountain’ :-

(435-520) Āya nāmato katt-upamānād-ācāre.

Section titled “(435-520) Āya nāmato katt-upamānād-ācāre.”

After a noun denoting the agent of comparison, the suffix ‘āya’ is used to express conduct.

In the sense of conduct, the suffix ‘āya’ is used after a noun denoting […] the agent who performs the action and who belongs to comparison. Upamānaṃ means that with which comparison is made. Kattupamānaṃ means the comparison of the performer. Therefore, the word ‘iva’ is to be cancelled by (paribhāsā) ‘vuttatthānaṃ appayogo’. By the word ‘tesaṃ’ in the rule ‘tesaṃ vibhattiyo lopā ca’ (274-317), the vibhatti-s are elided because of ending in dhātuppaccaya. The pakatibhāva is applicable by the rule ‘pakati cassa sarantassa’ (275-318). Saralopa etc. are applicable. The terminations are applicable by the rule ‘dhātuppaccayehi vibhattiyo’ [435-514]. Pabbatāyati saṅgho (The saṅgha performs as mountain.). Similarly, samuddaṃ iva attānaṃ ācarati / samuddāyati (He conducts himself as the ocean), cicciṭāyati saddo means the sound hisses as cicciṭa. Similarly, dhūmāyati. The words ‘nāmato’ and ‘ācāre’ are understood :-

And after (a noun denoting) comparison, the suffix ‘īya’ (is used).

After a noun denoting comparison, the suffix ‘īya’ is used in the sense of behaviour. The word upamāna is used again in order to cancel the word ‘kattu’ (from the previous compound kattupamānā). By that, (īya) is accomplished after (noun denoting) kamma. The remaining process is the same. Chattīyati means : He regards as umbrella that which is not an umbrella. Puttīyati sissaṃ ācariyo means the teacher treats student like a son. Why the word ‘upamānā’ is used ? For, we have : dhammaṃ ācarati. Why the word ‘ācāre’ ? For we have :- achattaṃ chattaṃ iva rakkhati. The word ‘īyo’ is understood in the following :-

wish.

After a noun, the suffix ‘īya’ is used in the sense of one’s own wish. Pattīyati means one wishes for his own alms-bowl; similarly, vatthīyati, parikkhārīyati, cīvarīyati, paṭīyati, dhanīyati, puttīyati. Why the word ‘atticchattha’ is used ? For, we have : aññassa pattaṃ icchati. In the sense of ‘daḷhaṃ karoti vinayaṃ’ (He makes the discipline strong) :- The word ‘kārita’ is to be understood in the following :-

(439-523) Dhātu-rūpe nāmasmā ṇayo ca.

Section titled “(439-523) Dhātu-rūpe nāmasmā ṇayo ca.”

And after a noun in the form of a root, the suffix ‘ṇaya’ (is laid down).

When a form from the root is to be derived, or the form in the sense of ‘taṃ karoti tena atikkamati’ etc. is to be used, the suffix ‘ṇaya’ is applied after a noun and it is called ‘kārita’. When ‘nā’ is elided, and the vibhattilopa and saralopa etc. are made, the terminations are applied. Daḷhayati vīriyaṃ (One practices the perserverance thoroughly.); similarly, pamāṇayati, amissayati. Furthermore, atihatthayati means one crosses over the way with an elephant, upavīṇāyati means one sings a song on the lute, visuddhayati memans the night is fine, kusalayati means one asks the well-being etc.

(438-524) Dhātūhi ṇe-ṇaya-ṇāpe-ṇāpaya-kāritāni hetu-atthe.

Section titled “(438-524) Dhātūhi ṇe-ṇaya-ṇāpe-ṇāpaya-kāritāni hetu-atthe.”

After roots, the suffixes ṇe, ṇaya, ṇāpe and ṇāpaya are used and called kārita-s in the sense of ‘cause’.

After all roots, the suffixes ṇe, ṇaya, ṇāpe and ṇāpaya are laid down in the sense of cause. And they are called kārita-s. Hetvattha means the […] meaning indicating the cause only. And the term ‘hetu’ is taken from the rule ‘yo kāreti sa hetu’ (282-288), the payojaka (impeller) of suddhakattā (performer) is called ‘hetukattā’. Hetu means an impelling activity like urging requesting etc. Moreover, in this context :-

“The suffixes ‘ṇe’ and ‘ṇaya’ only are applied after the
roots ending in u-vaṇṇa. The last two suffixes should
be applied after the roots ending in ‘ā’. After the
remaining roots, four or two suffixes are (optionally)
applied because the word ‘vā’ is understood as continued.
Further, the intransitive roots become transitive when the
causal suffix is applied. And the transitive roots would
take two objects. The roots having two objects become
tikammaka (having three objects) when kārita-suffix
follows. Therefore, the ākhyāta terminations may possibly
be used in active or passive sense. It is not possible
in bhāva. And ‘suddhakattā’ is called kamma in the
contex of kārita. The padhānakamma of the roots ‘nī’
etc. the appadhānakamma of the roots ‘duha’ etc. and
suddhakattā are to be treated as objects belonging to
the verbs in the causal use.”

In this context, whosoever is becoming, to him other person says, ‘you become ! you become !.’ Or another person inspires one to prosper when he has potentiality of prospering. Or, he causes to be. In this sense the suffixes ṇe and ṇaya are laid down by this rule. Also the technical term kārita is laid down for these suffixes. The vākya is not used by (paribhāsā) ‘vuttatthānaṃ appayogo’. The sound ‘ṇa’ is elided by the rule ‘kāritānaṃ ṇo lopaṃ’ (523-510). The vuddhi ‘o’ for the vowel ‘u’ is […] applicable by the rule ‘asaṃyogantassa vuddhi kārite’ (483-511). The words ‘o’ and ‘e’ are continued and the word ‘dhātu’ is understood in the follwing:-

When a kārita-suffix follows, those are changed into ‘āva’ and ‘āya’.

When a kārita-suffix follows, those vowels ‘o’ and ‘e’ belonging to the final of the root are changed into āva and āya. The roots ‘jhe’ etc. are changed into ‘āya’ even in non-kārita suffix by yogavibhāga from ‘te āvāya’. Thus, the vowel ‘o’ is changed into ‘āva’. Saralopa etc. are applicable. The terminations ‘ti’ etc. are applied by the rule ‘dhātuppaccayehi vibhattiyo’ (455-511). So samādhiṃ bhāveti / bhāvayati (He cultivates the cocentration.), bhāventi / bhāvayanti, bhāvesi / bhāvayasi, bhāvetha / bhāvayatha, bhāvemi / bhāvayāmi, bhāvema / bhāvayāma, bhāvayate / bhāvayante. In the passive sense :- the attanopada, the suffix ‘ya’, the ī-augment and saralopa etc. are applicable. Tena bhāvīyate samādhi (The concentration is being cultivated by him.), bhāvīyante, bhāvīyati bhāvīyanti. Similarly, bhāvetu / bhāvayatu, bhāventu / bhāvayantu, bhāvehi / bhāvaya/ bhāvayāhi, bhāvetha / bhāvayatha, bhāvemi / bhāvayāmi, bhāvema / bhāvayāma, bhāvayataṃ / bhāvayantaṃ. In the passive sense :- bhāvīyatu bhāvīyantu. Bhāveyya / bhāvaye / bhāvayeyya, bhāveyyuṃ / bhāvayeyyuṃ, bhāveyyāsi / bhāvayeyyāsi, bhāveyyātha / bhāvayeyyātha, bhāveyyāmi / bhāvayeyyāmi, bhāveyyāma / bhāvayeyyāma, bhāvetha / bhāvayetha, bhāveraṃ / bhāvayeraṃ. In the passive sense :- bhāvīyeyya bhāvīyeyyuṃ.

In ajjattanīvibhatti : - the sound ‘sa’ is augmented even after a kārita ending in long vowel by yogavibhāga from ‘sattaṃ ajjattanimhi’ (491-507) […] abhāvayiṃsu / bhāvayiṃsu, abhāvayuṃ / bhāvayuṃ, abhāvesi / bhāvesi, abhāvittha / abhāvayittha, abhāvesiṃ / bhāvesiṃ, abhāvayiṃ / bhāvayiṃ, abhāvimha / abhāvayimha. In the passive sense :- abhāvīyittha, abhāvīyi. Bhāvessati / bhāvayissati, bhāvessanti / bhāvayissanti, bhāvessasi / bhāvayissasi, bhāvissatha / bhāvayissatha, bhāvessāmi / bhāvayissāmi, bhāvessāma / bhāvayissāma. In the passive sense :- bhāvīyissate bhāvīyissante, bhāvīyissati bhāvīyissanti. Abhāvissa / abhāvayissa, abhāvissaṃsu / abhāvayissaṃsu. In the passive sense :- abhāvīyissatha, abhāvīyissa etc.

Similarly, whosoever is cooking, to him the other person says ‘you cook ! you cook !’ or other person inspires one to cook or he causes to cook. In this sense according to the previous process, the suffixes ṇe, ṇaya etc. are to be applied. The lengthening (‘ā’ for ‘a’) is applicable. The remaining process is the same. So devadattaṃ odanaṃ pāceti (He makes Devadatta to cook rice.), pācenti, pācesi pācetha, pācemi pācema; pācayati pācayanti, pācayasi pācayatha, pācayāmi pācayāma. However in the case of the suffixes ṇāpe and ṇāpaya :- so puriso taṃ purisaṃ odanaṃ pācāpeti (That man makes that person cook rice), pācāpenti, pācāpayati pācāpayanti. In the passive sense : so odanaṃ pācīyati (He makes the rice cooked), tena pācayīyati (The rice is being made cooked by him.), pācāpīyati pācāpayīyati.

Similarly, pācetu / pācayatu, pācāpetu / pācāpayatu, pācīyataṃ pācīyatu, pācayīyataṃ pācayīyatu, pācāpīyataṃ pācāpīyatu, pācāpayīyataṃ pācāpayīyatu, pācepeyya / pācayeyya, pācāyeyya / pācāpayeyya, pācīyeyya pācīyeyyuṃ, apācesi / pācayi, apācāpesi apācāpayi, pācessati / pācayissati, […] pācāpessati / pācāpayissati, apācissa / apācayissa, apācāpissa / apācāpayissa etc. To indicate the meaning : ‘He impels one who is going’ or ‘He impels one to go’, the suffixes ṇe and ṇaya are applicable. When lengthening is applicable :- The rule ‘asaṃyogantassa vuddhi kārite’ (483-511) is understood.

(The vuddhi) of the roots ‘ghaṭa’ etc. (is applicable) optionally.

When a kārita-suffix follows, the roots ‘ghaṭa’ etc. not ending in conjuncts are optionally lengthened. The lengthening is not applicable by the word ‘vā’ in this rule. The word ‘vā’ is in the sense of vavatthitavibhāsā. So taṃ purisaṃ gāmaṃ gameti / gamayati (He makes that man to go to the village.), gacchāpeti / gacchāpayati, so gāmaṃ gamīyati (He is being made to go to the village.), gamayīyati tena, gacchāpīyati gacchāpayīyati etc. This process should be applied everywhere. Similarly, even in the (context of) further (terminations).

The root ‘ghaṭa’ is used in the sense of ‘īha’ (attempt). Ghaṭantaṃ payojayati (He impels one who is attempting), ghateti. The vuddhi is not applicable by the rule ‘ghatā-dīnaṃ vā’ (the present rule). Ghaṭayati ghaṭāpeti ghaṭāpayati. The word ‘kārita’ is understood in the following :-

(The vowels) of the roots guha and dusa become long.

When a kārita-suffix follows, the vowels of the roots guha and dusa become long. This rule is for laying down an exception to vuddhi. The root ‘guha’ is used in the sense of restraining. Gūhayati means ‘one causes […] to restrain’, gūhayanti. The root ‘dusa’ is used in the sense of hatred. Dūsayati means one encourages the hater, dūsayanti etc.

Similarly, icchāpeti icchāpayati means one causes some one to desire, eseti / esayati; niyāmeti / niyāmayati means one causes some one to determine; āseti / āsayati means one causes a person to hope, acchāpeti/ acchāpayati; lābheti / lābhayati means one causes a person to obtain; vāceti/ vācayati means one causes to speak, vācāpeti / vācāpayati; similarly, vāseti/ vāsayati, vāsāpeti / vāsāpayati; vāheti / vāhayati, vāhāpeti, vāhāpayati; jīreti jīrayati, jīrāpeti jīrāpayati; māreti mārayati, mārāpeti mārāpayati; dasseti dassayati etc.

Furthermore, todeti / todayati means he encourages one to prick, todāpeti todāpayati; paveseti / pavesayati means he encourages one who enters or He encourages to enter, pavesāpeti / pavesāpayati : uddisāpeti/ uddisāpayati means one urges the advisor; pahāpeti / pahāpayati means one makes one to be able; sāyeti / sāyayati means one causes to sleep, sāyāpeti/ sāyāpayati. By the rule ‘kvaci dhātu’ etc. (517-472), when the suffixes ‘ṇāpe’ and ‘ṇāpaya’ follow, the āya-substitute is shortened. Nayāpeti/ nayāpayati means he encourages the carrier; patiṭṭhāpeti / patiṭṭhāpayati or patiṭṭhāpeti means he causes one to be established. In the sense of ‘One makes to kill’, :- The suffixes ‘ṇe’, ‘ṇaya’ etc. are applicable. The word ‘ṇamhi’ is understood :-

The root ‘hana’ becomes ‘ghāta’.

The root ‘hana’ is changed into ‘ghāta’ when a kārita-suffix having ‘[…] ṇa’ follows. Ghāteti / ghātayati, ghātāpeti / ghātāpayati. The vadha-substitute is applicable by the rule ‘vadho vā sabbattha’ (592-487). Vadheti / vadhāpeti; juhāpeti / juhāpayati means he urges the offerer; jahāpeti / jahāpayati means he urges one to abandon, hāpeti / hāpayati; dāpeti / dāpayati means he makes a donor to give; pidaheti / pidahayati means he urges one who closes, pidahāpeti / pidahāpayati; rodheti / rodhayati means he causes one to hinder, rodhāpeti / rodhāpayati; chedeti / chedayati means he causes one to cut, chedāpeti / chedāpayati; yojeti / yojayati means one encourages someone to unite, yojāpeti / yojāpayati; bhojeti / bhojayati means one causes one to enjoy, bhojāpeti / bhojāpayati; moceti / mocayati means he makes one to liberate, mocāpeti / mocāpayati; deveti / devayati means he makes one to gamble; uppādeti / uppādayati means he makes one to rise up; bodheti / bodhayati means he makes one to know. The sound ‘ya’ is augmented by the rule ‘dādhā-antato yo kvaci’ (564-462). Bujjhāpeti / bujjhāpayati; toseti / tosayati means he makes one to satisfy, tosāpeti / tosāpayati; sameti / samayati means he makes one to calm down. Here, vuddhi is not applicable as the root belongs to the group of ‘ghaṭa’ etc. Kopeti / kopayati means he causes one to be angry; janeti / janayati means he causes one to be born; vuddhi is not applicable as the root belongs to the group of ‘ghaṭa’ etc. Dhammaṃ sāveti / sāvayati means he makes one to listen to the doctrine; pāpeti / pāpayati means he makes one to obtain; vikkāpeti / vikkāpayati means he makes one to sell; jayāpeti / jayāpayati means he causes one to conquer; ñāpeti / ñāpayati means he makes one to know; gāheti / gāhayati means he makes one to grasp, gaṇhāpeti / gaṇhāpayati; vitāneti / vitānayati means he makes something extended.

[…] One is performing. The other one tells him ‘you do ! you do !’. He encourages the performer or he causes to do : kāreti / kāryati, kārāpeti/ kārāpayati etc. Corāpeti / corāpayati means he causes one to steal; cintāpeti/ cintāpayati means he causes one to think; pūjāpeti / pūjāpayati means he makes one to worship etc. It is easy to understand in the context of remaining cases.

“The kārita-suffixes may be applied even after the verbal
suffixes. And in this context, it is indicated that the
suffixes ‘yu’ and ‘ṇvu’ are found even after causal
forms.”

By that, in the sense of ‘one encourages the tolerant’ we have titikkheti / titikkhāpeti; tikiccheti / tikicchayati means one causes to cure, tikicchāpeti / tikicchāpayati; similarly, bubhukkheti bubhukkhayati, bubhukkhāpeti bubhukkhāpayati; pabbatāyati means one encourages some one who behaves like a mountain. By this, also the expressions like ‘puttīyati’ are accomplished.

(Here ends) the process of the words
ending in the dhātu-paccaya-s.


“According to my knowledge, I have taught the Ākhyāta
topic for the (buddha) sāsana. The clever ones may think
over it with their power of learning. An expert in the
characteristics of kamma, should know bhavati tiṭṭhati,
seti ahosi, etc. as intransitive verbs. Even intransitive
[…] ones ending in the hetu-suffixes should be known as
transitive ones. For example, ‘a monk cultivates (bhāveti)
the path which removes passion etc.’ “

Here (ends) the Ākhyāta-kaṇḍa,
the sixth chapter in Rūpasiddhi.


The ‘Nāmakaṇḍa’ is introduced in the Rūpasiddhi by the words ‘Atha nāmikavibhatyāvatāro vuccate’ (Now, the topic about the nominal case-ending is being told). ‘Nāma’ means the designation of matter (Dabbābhidhānaṃ). And the meaning of the word ‘Nāma’ is divided into two as follows :- 1] It tends towards the meaning (atthaṃ namatīti nāmaṃ). 2] It brings the meaning in itself (attani nāmetīti nāmaṃ).

The ‘Nāma’ is twofold as :-

1. Anvatthanāma (noun according to the sense) (PDṬ p. 24. ‘Atthaṃ gataṃ anvatthaṃ’). For example :- Puriso (man). 2. Rūḷhināma [noun grown by convention or the noun which is grown not according to sense but according to desire]. (PDṬ p. 24. ‘atthanirapekkhaṃ nāmaṃ yadīcchānāmaṃ’.) For example ‘tisso, sirivaḍḍho’ etc.

The ‘Nāma’ is threefold as :- 1] Pulliṅga (masculine) i. e. Rukkho (tree). 2] Itthīliṅga (feminine) i. e. mālā (garland). 3] Napuṃsakaliṅga (Neuter) i. e. dhanaṃ (wealth).

It is fourfold as :-

1. Sāmaññanāma [the noun based on the state of generality]. (PDP. p. 98 ‘samānānaṃ bhāvo sāmaññaṃ, sāmaññehi pavattaṃ nāmaṃ sāmaññanāmaṃ’.) For example :- rukkho

[…] 2. Guṇanāma [The noun which describes the specification of matter]. (PDP. p. 98 ‘attano dabbaṃ guṇeti pakāseti guṇo, guṇehi pavattaṃ nāma guṇanāmaṃ’.) For example :- nīlo (dark blue). 3. Kiriyānāma [The noun which is based on an action] (PDP. p. 98 ‘karaṇaṃ kiriyā, kiriyāya pavattaṃ nāmaṃ kiriyānāmaṃ’.) 4. Yadicchānāma [The noun which is based on desiring]. (PDP. p. 98 ‘yā yā icchā yadicchā, yadicchāya pavattaṃ nāmaṃ yadicchānāmaṃ.’) For example :- sirivaḍḍho, tisso etc.

It is eightfold as :- 1 & 2. Avaṇṇapakatināma [The noun ending in ‘a’ or ‘ā’] like purisa, sā etc. (PDṬ p. 25). 3 & 4. Ivaṇṇapakatināma [The noun ending in ‘i’ or ‘ī’] like aggi, daṇḍī etc. (PDṬ p. 25). 5 & 6. Uvaṇṇapakatināma [The noun ending in ‘u’ or ‘ū’) like bhikkhu, abhibhū etc. (PDṬ p. 25). 7. Okārantapakatināma (The noun ending in ‘o’) like go, sutano etc. (PDṬ p. 25). 8. Niggahītantapakatināma (The noun ending in niggahīta) like kiṃ, idaṃ etc. (PDṬ p. 25).

‘Nāma’ is often mentioned first as in the following verse from PDṬ:-

“padaṃ catubbidhaṃ vuttaṃ nāmākhyātopasaggañca
nipātañcāti viññūhi, asso khalu abhidhāvati.”

Rule 60 :- The rule ‘Jinavacanayuttaṃ hi’ is ‘adhikārasutta’. The meaning of ‘adhikāra’ is ‘governing’. PDṬ has given explanation that ‘adhikāra’ is so called because it governs (adhikiriyati). The meaning is […] rules. The adhikāra is divided into three as :-

1. Sīhagatika-adhikāra means it is governing as lion looks forward and backward; f. e. the rule ‘Jinavacana-yuttaṃ hi.’ 2. Maṇḍūkagatika-adhikāra means it is governing as frog jumps forward and not backward; f. e. the rule ‘Ghapato smiṃ yaṃ vā’ (180). (Rūp T. p. 65 f. e. ‘ghapato smiṃ yaṃ vā ito maṇḍūkagatiyā vāti.’) 3. Yathānupubbika-adhikāra means it is governing by sequence, according to the rule or it is governing like stream of a river. [PDP. p. 43. ‘nadīsotagatikādhikāra.’].

Rule 61 :- The word ‘pātipadika’ which occurs in this rule (61) is a synonymous for the word ‘Liṅgaṃ’. About ‘Liṅgaṃ pātipadikaṃ’ PDṬ remarks that it is the expression of noun only. (PDṬ p. 26 ‘nāmassa eva pariyāyo’.) So, this rule is ‘paribhāsāsutta’. And the words ’liṅga, nāma and pātipadika become synonyms. (PDP. p. 103 ’Liṅgaṃ nāmaṃ pātipadikasadisaṃ.)

Rule 62 :- This rule is the ‘vibhattividhisutta’. The word ‘ca’ which occurs in the rule implys that even after the suffixes ‘tave, tūna’ etc., the case-ending is to be applied (such as kātave, kātūna, katvā, katvāna etc.) The case-ending is elided by the rule ‘sabbāsaṃ āvuso’ etc. [Rūp T. p. 361 ‘tavetūnamantato sabbāsamāvusoti-ādīnaṃ vibhattilopo.’]

Rule 63 :- 1. Saññāsutta : ‘Sesā byañjanā’ (8) etc. 2. Paribhāsāsutta : ‘Parasamaññā Payoge’ (11), ‘Liṅgañca nipaccate’ (61) etc.

[…] In Kaccāyanasuttattha we have sixfold division as :- 1. saññāsutta 2. paribhāsāsutta 3. vidhisutta 4. niyamasutta 5. atidesasutta 6. adhikārasutta (KS p. 15 “saññā ca paribhāsā ca vidhipi niyamo pi ca
atidesādhikāroti chabbidhaṃ suttalakkhaṇaṃ”)
The present is vidhisutta.

Rule 68 :- The word ‘ekasesa’ which occurs in this rule has twofold implication : 1) sarūpekasesa :- it is the case when a single form out of the similar ones remains as a final one, for example, ‘Puriso ca purisā ca purisā’. 2) virūpekasesa :- it is the case when one form out of different forms remains, f. e. ‘mātā ca pitā ca pitaro’. (PDP p. 114). PDṬ has given more explanation as ‘samānaṃ rūpaṃ yesanti sarūpā. eko ca so seso cāti’. (PDṬ p. 29). Among them, the sarūpekasesa is divided into three as :-

1. saddasarūpekasesa : the words are similar but meaning is different : ’māso ca māso ca māsā (month and bean) 2. atthasarūpekasesa : the meaning is similar but words are different ‘vaṅko ca kuṭilo ca kuṭilā’ (crooked). 3. saddatthasarūpekasesa : both meaning and word are the same ‘puriso ca puriso ca purisā’. As it is told :
“sarūpasseva saddattha saddatthānaṃ sabhāvato
tibbidhattaṃ yathā māsā kuṭilā purisāti ca”.
(PDP. p. 114)

The virūpekasesa is divided into two as :-

[…] preceding word is elided as :- ‘mātā ca pitā ca pitaro’.

2. paravirūpekasesa : When the forms are different, the following word is elided as ‘sāriputto ca moggallāno ca sāriputtā’.

The words belonging to the ‘virūpekasesa’ must be related in meaning; like mātu pitu, ayyaka ayyikā etc.

According to Rūp T. & S. tatheva = tathā + eva. B. reads : tattheva= tattha + eva. B. seems to be better because translation would be ‘in that (pulliṅga) only’ instead of just ‘then’ or ‘moreover’.

Rule 69 :- The word ‘vā’ is understood :-

1. Niccavidhi : In masculine the case-ending ‘yo’ is changed into ā-e always. For example :- purisā purise. 2. Aniccavidhi : In neuter the case-ending ‘yo’ is not always changed into ā-e. For example :- rūpā / rūpāni. 3. Asantavidhi : When preceded by ‘i’ (technically called ‘jha’.) The case-ending ‘yo’ is not changed into ā-e. For example:- aggayo, munayo.

Rule 83 :- The words “āviṭṭhena purisena so puññaṃ karoti” occur under this rule. The meaning is “The non-human spirit (amanussa) makes merit for the man in whom it is living (i. e. in his body)”. For this, the PDṬ gives the example as follows :- “so amanusso abhivādanādīni karonto puññaṃ karoti vibodhanakāle dussimāro viya.” (PDṬ p. 30).

[…] Rule 95 :- The word ‘manoppabhūtigaṇo’ occurs under the rule 95. B. & S. read :- ‘manopabhuti’ (as in PTS Dict). T. reads ‘manoppabhūti’. pabhuti (short) seems to be more correct. But in Rūp T. everywhere, it is long only. For example :- ‘bhikkhuppabhūtito’ (155). (Rūp T. p. 67.), ‘mahāmandhātupabhūtayo’ (167) (Rūp T. p. 71.).

Rule 96 :- After this rule Rūp T. & S. read : ‘vāti vattate’. B. reads ‘manogaṇādito vāti ca vattate’. B. seems to be correct because both words are to be followed in the next rule (97). The word ‘vā’ is also vavatthitavibhāsā in three ways as : i. Niccavidhi : mānasikaṃ cetasikaṃ (‘sa’ is always augmented). ii. Aniccavidhi : manasā manena, manaso manassa (sometimes ‘sa’ is not augmented). iii. Asantavidhi : mano manā manaṃ mane PDP. p. 127. [no augmentation of ‘sa’]

Rule 97 :- Rūp T. & S. read : ‘savibhattissa ntussanto, sabbasseva ntussāti ca’. B. reads : ‘savibhattissa ntussāti ca’. Sub-commentary has given explanation as : ’The word ‘savibhattissa’ is taken from the rule ‘amhassa mamaṃ savibhattissa se’ [120-243] and the word ‘ntussa’ from the rule ‘ntussa-nto’ [99]. For the words ‘sabbasseva ntussa’ which are repeated in Rūp T. & S. seem to be redundant. Thus, the rule should be read as in B.

Rule 101 :- Rūp T. & S. read : ‘aṃ a ā ādesā honti’. B. reads: ‘aṃavaṇṇa iccete ādesā honti’. The meaning of both the readings is the same because ’a ā = avaṇṇa. But in this way, Rūp T. & S. want to express the meaning of avaṇṇa clearly. So, it has become ‘a ā ādesā’.

Rule 112 :- By the word ‘ca’ which occured under this rule, […] even the word ‘santa’ can change into ‘sa’ though the nimitta is other than the second ‘bha’. But that word must be compound only, as ‘santapuriso’ becomes ‘sappuriso’. The word ‘santa’ is originated from the root sama + ta suffix. (PDṬ. p. 137). The final sound ‘ma’ is changed into ‘na’.

Rule 120 :- In Rūp T. The words ‘smāvacanassa nābyapadeso’ occur under the rule 120. B. reads : ‘smāvacanassa nābhāvātideso’. S. reads : ‘smāvacanassa nābyapadesātideso’. The meaning does not differ. But B. seems better than other readings as the sub-commentary paraphrases : ‘smāvacanassa nārūpassa atideso’.

The word ‘atidesa’ also occurs under this rule. The meaning is ‘the expression’ (PDṬ p. 34. ‘atidisatīti atideso’). It is sixfold as follows :-

1. Byapadesātidesasutta : the expression of nomenclature like ‘Taddhitasamāsakitakā nāmaṃ vā tavetunādīsu ca’ [334]. 2. Nimittātidesasutta : the expression of nimitta like ‘Sarā sare lopaṃ’ [13] and ‘Tathā kattari ca’ [511]. 3. Taṃrūpātidesasutta : the expression of the particular forms. Reference may be made to ‘amhatumhantu……..smā nāva’ [120]. Brahma + smā = brahmunā. The case-ending ‘smā’ is changed into ‘nā’ by this rule. 4. Taṃsabhāvātidesasutta : the expression of general nature [sabhāva] of forms. Reference may be made to ‘itthiyaṃ bhāsitapumitthī pumāva ce’ [338]. It is indicated that the

[…] 5. Suttātidesasutta : The expression of the rule [which is not mentioned] like ‘anupadiṭṭhānaṃ vuttayogato’ [59]. 6. Kāriyātidesasutta : The expression of the way of grammatical action like ‘sesesu ntuva’ [108], ‘yaṃ ntussa kāriyaṃ vihitaṃ, tameva ntasaddassāti atidisati’ (PDṬ. p. 33)

Rule 149 :- Rūp T. & S. read : ’jhalato sassa no vāti sassa no ‘jhala’ iccetehi parassa’. B. reads : ‘jhalato sassa no vāti no’. Genitive suffix is changed into ‘no’ by the rule ‘jhalato……..vā’ [124]. For example: aggino.

Rule 164 :- For this rule, Rūp T. & S. read : ‘satthun-āttaṃ ca’. B. reads : ‘sutthunattañca’. The meaning is : ’The [final] of satthu also becomes ‘ā’. Thus, satthānaṃ : satthu + naṃ. U becomes ‘ā’. The state of ‘a’ for the final of the word satthu etc. is indicated

Rule 167 :- In this rule, the word ‘sakamandhāt-ādīnañca’ occurs. Instead of the word ‘sakamandhātu’, the sub-commentary gives the form : ‘sakkamandhātā’ [sakko ca mandhātā ca] (PDṬ. p. 39).

Rule 168 :- The expression ‘bhāvaniddesena’ is based on the rule ‘aññesu ārattaṃ’ [159]. Rūpasiddhi wants to indicate the optional forms for the substitute ‘āra’ in the case of the word ‘pitu’. Thus, pitūbhi pitūhi etc.

Rūp T. & S. read : itthīliṅgāni. B. reads : itthiliṅgāni. This word occurs in the title of the topic about feminine gender. Rūp T. & S. lengthen ‘i’ (‘itthī’) when joined with ‘liṅga’. According to B. the word ‘itthiliṅgāni’ […] is a compound [Tappurisa]. So the word ‘itthī’ is shortened. For example :- ‘itthiyā rūpaṃ = itthirūpaṃ’. Bhikkhunīnaṃ saṅgho = bhikkhunisaṅgho. ‘Itthī’ is the feminine word ending in ‘ī’. Everywhere, in the compound, Rūp T. & S. make it lengthened. For example :- itthīpaccayā [176], itthīliṅgo etc.

Rule 189 :- Mahāvutti or Mahāsutta is fourfold :-
“Mahāsuttā tesu vuddhi kvaci dhātu ca paccayā
–daniṭṭhā yadanupādi cattāripi nipātanā”.

1. Tesu vuddhilopāgamavikāraviparītādesā ca [355]. 2. Kvaci dhātuvibhattipaccayānaṃ dīghaviparītādesalopāgamā ca [472]. 3. paccayādaniṭṭhā nipātanā sijjhanti [608]. 4. Yadanuppannā nipātanā sijjhanti [407].

‘gosaddato nadādito vā īti ipaccayo, mahāvuttinā vā’. This means : after the word ‘go’ the suffix ‘ī’ is either applied by the rule ‘nadādito vā ī’ [187] or by the mahasutta [tesu vuddhi etc]. go + ī = gāvī.

Rule 191 :- Rūp T. & S. read = ‘gomatī’. But B reads: ‘gottamatī’.

Rule 194 :- In B. due to full stop after inī, two sentences are formed. It is better than single sentence in which ‘ca’ is required [in Rūp T. & S. : ’Tatheva rāja-saddato inī ‘saralopapakatibhāva’].

Rāja + inī = Rājini. The vowel ‘a’ of the word ‘rāja’ is elided. Sometimes, ‘pakatibhāva’ is applicable. For example :- ’bhikkhu + inī = bhikkhunī. The vowel ‘u’ has pakatibhāva.

[…] The word ‘paracittavidunī’ occurs in the Rūpasiddhi twice. First expression is to indicate an example for the suffix ‘inī’ which is applied after the word vidū, yakkha etc. Second one is for the explanation of ‘paralopa - rassattāni’. Paracittavidū + inī = paracittavidunī. ‘Ū’ of vidū is shortened. And ‘ī’ of ‘inī’ is elided.

Rule 226 :- In the first line of vutti under this rule [226], Rūp T. reads = ‘paccayato’. B. & S. read ‘vappaccayato’. The meaning is : when the suffix ‘va’ follows, the word ‘kiṃ’ is changed into ‘ka’. Kiṃ + va = kva. Even before a suffix other than ‘va’ (‘tha, ha’ etc.) the word ‘kiṃ’ becomes ‘ka’. Kathaṃ = kiṃ + tha. Kahaṃ = kiṃ + ha.

Rule 241 :- Under this rule, the words ‘tava mama vā dīyate’ occur as example in Rūp T. And it is not available in B. & S. But in B. & S. it finds a place under the rule no 242.

Rule 244 :- The meaning of this rule is : ’After the words ‘tumha and amha’, the case-ending ‘naṃ’ is changed into ‘ākaṃ’ [or aṃ]. In the vutti, Rūp T. reads :- ‘attañca’. B. & S. read ‘aṃ ca’. The meaning becomes clear as follows :- tumhaṃ = tumha + naṃ. Naṃ becomes ‘aṃ’. tumhākaṃ = tumha + naṃ. Naṃ becomes ‘ākaṃ’.

And according to the rule ‘tesu vuddhi’ etc. [404-455], the word ‘amha’ is sometimes changed into ‘asmā’. For example :- amha + naṃ= asmākaṃ, asmākaṃ dhammatā.

Rule 250 :- “Tathā pañcādīnamaṭṭhādasantānaṃ katisaddassa vāliṅgattā tiliṅgepi samānaṃ rūpaṃ”. These words occur under this rule. For the word which is underlined, the reading in Rūp T. & B. is ‘cāliṅgattā’. And S. reads ‘vaccaliṅgattā’. According to Rūp T. the translation of the word ‘vā’ is ‘or’. For the word ‘ca’ the translation would be ‘and’. But for S. it is difficult to translate. The meaning is : “Moreover, the words from ‘pañca’ to ‘aṭṭhādasa’ or [and] the word ‘Kati’ being without specific gender, have the same form in all genders.” ‘Vaccaliṅgattā’ may mean : ‘the gender being dependent on the use / user.’

Rule 251 :- For the word ‘aṭṭhādasa’, B. & S. read :- ‘aṭṭhārasa’. In Rūp T., the form aṭṭhādasa is available elsewhere under the rules 250, 251, 252 and 253.

Rule 256 :- Of the word ‘Catu’, tu is elided, and ‘ca’ is changed into ‘cu’ or ‘co’. Cuddasa = catu + dasa. Coddasa = catu + dasa.

Rule 270 :- The words ‘hadāthamādi’ and ‘avapaccayepi’ should better be joined as ‘kiṃ’ is substituted by ‘ka’ even when the suffixes other than ‘va’, such as tha, ha etc. follow. Thus, Kiṃ + thaṃ = Kathaṃ. Kiṃ + haṃ = Kahaṃ.

The ‘Samāsakaṇḍa’ is introduced in Rūpasiddhi by the words ‘atha nāmānaṃ eva’ etc. That means the grammarian is expressing the samāsa [compound] following the rule [which occurs in Kaccāyana] : ‘nāmānaṃ samāso yuttattho’ (PDṬ p. 97) The samāsa is based on nouns and itself has the characteristic of a noun. When two or more words enter into combination with one another and form a grammatical unit, that unit is […] called a compound [samāsa, lit, thrown together = √āsa with saṃ].

The samāsa is made of nouns related to each other as ‘rañño puriso’ [PDṬ p. 97) etc. Moreover, the word samāsa has five meanings as ‘samo’, saṅkhepo, saṃhāro samāso saṅgaho” (AP. p. 32, 116). And through the point of view of nomenclature (saññā), it is sixfold : 1) Abyayībhāva :- Adverbial. 2) Kammadhāraya : Appoisitional, 3) Digu : Numerical, 4) Tappurisa : Determinative, 5) Bahubbīhi : Relative, and 6) Dvanvda : Copulative. The samāsa is also divided into two : [1. Niccasamāsa and 2. Aniccasamāsa] by its formation [sabhāvato] (Sadd p. 745 ‘sabhāvato niccasamāso aniccasamāsoti duvidho’). 1. Niccasamāsa means the samāsa which is not explained by the analysis (viggaha) because it is easy to understand [like the word ‘kaṇṭho’ SSMT p. 82 kaṃ ettha ṭhātīti kaṇṭho]. 2. Aniccasamāsa means the samāsa which is explained by the dissolution [like ‘nīluppalaṃ’ : nīlañca taṃ uppalaṃ cāti nīluppalaṃ]. (SSMT p. 83).

Rule 315 :- The words ‘atthapubbakehi upasagganipātehi’ occur under this rule. For the word ‘attha’, [Rūp T. & S.]. B. reads : ‘atthapubbakehi’. In the case of Rūp T. & S. the translation would be “The meaning of upasagga and nipāta having preceded”. For B. the translation would be : “The upasagga and nipāta themselves being preceded”. Both are helpful to indicate the meaning of ’abyayībhāvasamāsa : the compound having upasagga or nipāta as first member. For example :- yāvajīvaṃ [as long as life lasts], anujeṭṭhaṃ [according to seniority] etc.

Rule 316 :- The following gāthā occures under this rule :-

The grammarian wants to explain the difference between ‘samāsa’ and ‘taddhita’. PDṬ. has given more explanation that “The combination of padas [two or more] into single one is called ‘Samāsa’. (PDṬ. p. 98. “padānaṃ saṅkhepo ekapadattaṃ samāso” For example :- mahanto puriso mahāpuriso [the great man], samaṇo ca brāhmaṇo ca samaṇabrāhmaṇo [samaṇa and brahmin] etc. The addition of suffix into a pada is called ‘taddhita’. (PDṬ. p. 98. “padapaccayānaṃ saṅhitaṃ taddhitanti”). For example, ‘gāmānaṃ samūho gāmatā’. (IP. p. 168). The Taddhita suffix ‘tā’ is added to pada in the sense of ‘a collection of’.

And also the words ‘luttasamāsa’ and ‘aluttasamāsa’ occur under this rule. (Sadd p. 745. ‘so ca samāso luttasamāso aluttasamāsoti duvidho.’)

  1. Luttasamāsa means the compound in which the case-ending is elided. That is, only the final part has case-ending, not the preceding part. For example :- rājaputto khattiyakaññā etc.
  2. Aluttasamāsa means the compound in which the case-ending is not elided. That is the preceding part has case-ending like the following one. For example :- urasilomo [brāhmaṇo], dūrenīdānaṃ etc.

Rule 318 :- The word ‘atidesa’ occurs under this rule to indicate that the ‘nimittātidesasutta’ is to be used in the sense of vibhattinimitta [vibhattinimitto hutvā]. (PDṬ. p. 100). Further the words ‘sakatthavirahenidha samāsassa ca liṅgabhāvābhāvā’ occur under the rule. For the word ‘liṅgabhāvābhāvā’ [Rūp T. & B.] S. reads :- liṅgasabhāvābhāvā.’ Sub-commentary has given explanation for this word as : ‘liṅgasaññāya asambhavato’. (PDṬ. p. 100)

[…] Rule 319 :— The expression ‘nāmaṃvātavetunādīsu’ occurs in this rule. Rūp T. splits the word as ‘nāmaṃ vā tavetunādīsu’. B. & S. have joined as : ‘nāmaṃvatavetunādisu’. For the reading in Rūp T. is not clear. According to B. & S., the spliting will be ‘nāmaṃ + iva + atavetunādīsu’. The word ‘a’ means, ‘vajjetvā’ according to the vutti.

Rule 321 :- Under this rule, Rūp T. & S. read : ‘ā kumārehi yaso ākumāraṃ yaso kaccāyanassa’. B. reads ‘ā kumārehi yaso kaccāyanassa ākumāraṃ.’ Rūpasiddhi has given this example to explain the meaning of ā-upasagga in the senses of mariyādā and abhividhi. Both the examples are not different in meaning. But B. seems to be more correct.

Rule 323 :- The words ‘tirokuḍḍaṃ’ and ‘nagarato’ occur under this rule. For the word ‘tirokuḍḍa’ (Rūp T. & S.) B. reads ‘tirokuṭṭa’. According to PED (p. 219), the meaning of kuṭṭa or kuḍḍa is ‘daub wall’. For ‘nagarato’, [Rūp Ṭ. & S.] B. reads ‘nagarassa’ which seems better.

Rule 326 :- The words ‘puṇṇo mantāṇiputto, citto gahapati’, and ‘sakko devarājā’ occur under this rule. The grammarian has given explanation that these words are not samāsa-s on the strength of vibhāsā [option]. (PDṬ. p. 104).

Rule 329 :- This rule explains the nature of ‘nanipātapubbapada’. Entire ‘na’ becomes ‘a’ or ‘ana’. And the completed form of this compound is adjective as ‘amanusso’ = na manusso [This person] is not man, ‘anuttaro’ = na uttaro etc. Rūp. divides the meaning of ‘na’ into two as : [1] pariyudāsapaṭisedha means warding off a thing in the specific part as : abrāhmaṇo and [2] pasajjappaṭisedha means warding […] off all parts as : abrāhmaṇamānavo etc. For the word ‘abrāhmaṇamānavo’ which occurs under this rule [Rūp T. & S.], B. reads ‘abrāhmaṇamanussā’.

Rule 335 :- The words ‘rājādigahaṇassedaṃ gahaṇaṃ’ occur under this rule [Rūp T. & S.) But B. reads : ‘etaṃ’ at the final of the first word. The meaning is the same. According to Rūp T. & S. the form is ‘idaṃ’ that is neuter [ima]. And B. reads the form ‘etaṃ’ [from eta] in neuter. It is the adjective of ‘gahaṇaṃ’.

The word ‘attaṃ’ occurs under this rule [Rūp T. & B.]. S. reads ‘attho’. The meaning of ‘attaṃ’ is the “state of ‘a’.” It seems to be more correct than ‘attho’. Because the grammarian emphasises the vowel ‘a’ in the final of the words ‘rāja’ etc.

Rule 336 :- The word ‘anābhidhānato’ occurs under this rule. Rūp T. reads as above. B. & S. read ‘anabhidhānato’.

Rule 337 :- The words ‘aññnesaṃ samapaṭhamā-dutiyādivibhatyantānaṃ’ occur under this rule. The reading of Rūp. T. & S. is the same. But B. reads :- ‘aññesaṃ paṭhamadutiyādivibhatyantānaṃ’. Here, Rūp T. & S. have given better reading than B. Because it will be better to spilt as ‘samapaṭhamānaṃ and dutiyādivibhatyantānaṃ’. The meaning is: ‘The nouns having proper meaning are optionally combined in the senses other than their own, ending with accusative case etc. [and] always in nominative case.’ For example :- āgatasamaṇo = āgatā samaṇā yaṃ so āgatasamaṇo [saṅghārāmo]. (Rūp T. same rule p. 187). And the words underlined indicate ‘aññapada’ as ‘yo-yaṃ-yena-yassa-yasmā-yassa-yasminti paṭhamādivibhatyantānaṃ atthā aññapadatthā’. (PDṬ. p. 114) Therefore, the […] word ‘sama’ is significant.

Rule 338 :- This rule explains bahubbīhisamāsa. When we see the analysis of samāsa, the preceding and following components of bahubbīhi have the same case. The combined meaning follows the subject. Because bahubbīhisamāsa is used as an adjective. Therefore, the aññapada’ is the subject. The samāsapada qualifying the masculine subject must be masculine even if the component is feminine as ‘Kalyāṇā bhariyā yassa so kalyāṇabhariyo [puriso]’ (SSMT. p. 182), or ‘dīghā jaṅghā yassa so[?] dīghajaṅgho [puriso].’ (SSMT. p. 182)

Rule 341 :- The word ‘attaṃ’ occur under this rule. Rūp T. & S. read ‘attaṃ’. B. reads ‘āttaṃ’. Both readings are corrected. But the latter is better than the former. Because the latter retains ‘ā’, which is shown in the vutti.

Rule 342 :- Rūp T. & S. have ‘dvandva’. B. has ‘dvanda’, which is followed in DPL (p. 130).

The word ‘kvacitappassaraṃ’ occurs under this rule. B. & S. read ‘accitataraṃ’. Rūp T. reads as above. It is better to read as B. & S. because the meaning is more clear therein. The emphasised word should be put initially as ‘samaṇo ca brāhmaṇo ca = samaṇabrāhmaṇa’, ‘devo ca manusso ca devamanussā’ etc.

Rule 343 :- And sometimes, in dvandvasamāsa the pada having less vowels is put initially. For example :- ‘cando ca sūriyo ca candasūriyā’. The word ‘canda’ has less vowels than ‘sūriya’. Similarly, in ‘nigamā ca janapadā ca nigamajanapadā’.

[…] Rule 345 :- B. & S. read ‘accitappasaraṃ’, as it occurs under the rule numbers 342 (B. & S. ‘idha dvande accitataraṃ’). and 343 (B. & S. ‘kvaci appasaraṃ pubbaṃ pubbaṃ nipatati’). Rūp T. reads : ‘kvacitappasaraṃ’; the meaning of which is not clear. Thus B. & S. give better reading.

The ‘ākhyātakaṇḍa’ is introduced in Rūpsiddhi by the words ‘atha ākhyātavibhattiyo’ etc. to indicate verbal terminations. Also in Sanskrit, it is called ‘ākhyāta’. The word ‘ākhyāta’ is from ‘ā’ [upasagga] + √khyā + the suffix ‘ta’. The meaning is ‘the pada indicating action’ [‘kiriyaṃ ācikkhatīti ākhyātaṃ’ or ‘kiriyaṃ ākkhāyatīti ākhyātaṃ’]. (Sadd T. vol. II p. 323). ‘Ākhyāta’ is a part of speech [vacīvibhāga] and indicates main verb of a sentence (KCM. p. 36). It is comprised of vibhatti (case-termination), kāla [time], pada, vacana, purisa, paccaya and vācaka.

But the significant division is threefold as :- dhātu, paccaya and vibhatti (KCM. p. 36). The ‘dhātu’ is the verbal root. ‘Paccaya’ is the sign to indicate ‘vācaka’. And ‘vibhatti’ is the sign to express kāla, pada, vacana and purisa. The vibhatti of ākhyāta is eightfold : vattamānā, pañcamī, sattamī, parokkhā, hiyyattanī, ajjattanī, bhavissanti and kālātipatti. ‘Kāla’ is threefold as : paccuppannakāla [present], atītakāla [past] and anāgatakāla [future]. It has two padas as : parassapada and attanopada. It has two vacanas as : ekavacana [singular] and bahuvacana [plural]. It has three purisas as: paṭhamapurisa, majjhimapurisa and uttamapurisa. ‘Dhātu’ is divided into eight groups as : bhū, rudha, diva, su, kī, gaha, tana and cura. And it has three kārakas as kattukāraka, kammakāraka and bhāvakāraka. Further it is […] told in Rūpasiddhi that the word which has three kāla-s, three purisa-s, indicating action, having three kārakas and no gender [and] having two vacana-s is called ‘ākhyāta’. (see Text p. 87).

Rule 408 :- The word ‘bhūvādayo’ occurs in this rule. The Ṭīkā has given explanation as : ’bhū ca vā ca bhūvā vā’ti gati-bandhanesu imassa gahaṇaṃ. (PDṬ. p. 134)

Rule 412 :- The word ‘tassāddhānāniyamena’ occurs under this rule. B. & S. have ‘tassā ṭhānāniyame’ which is better because the meaning becomes clear as : ‘there is not a rule indicating the place of suffix’.

Rule 416 :- The word ‘sādhakavācake’ occurs under this rule. Rūp T. & S. read as above. B. reads kārakavācake. The meaning of ‘sādhaka’ is ‘accomplishing’ or ‘effecting’. (PED. p. 210) The word ‘kāraka’ means ‘the doer’ (PED. p. 703) or ‘subject’. The grammarian implys that ‘when noun indicating kāraka [subject) having the same-case relation is used or not’. It is undestood as : ‘bhikkhu gāmaṃ piṇḍāya pavisati; paccāgantvā attano vihāre taṃ bhuñjati’. (KS. p. 108). First sentence has the subject (bhikkhu), but second has not. The verbs ‘pavisati’ and ‘bhuñjati’ have the same person [purisa] and number [vacana]. Thus, according to PDṬ, B. has better reading than Rūp T. & S. [‘tumhamhavajjite kārake abhidheyyeti attho’]. (PDṬ. p. 135).

Rule 425 :- The words ‘gamu sappagatimhi’ occur under this rule. Rūp T. reads as above. B. & S. read ‘gamasappa gatimhi’. The roots ‘gama’ and ‘sappa’ are in the sense of going. [PDṬ :- ’gamusappaiccete gatimhi gamane vattante.]. (PDṬ. p. 137).

Rule 430 :- The word ‘sampattibhavanaṃ’ occurs under this rule. Rūp T. & S. read as above. B. reads ‘sampatibhavanaṃ’. The word ‘sampati’ [saṃ + pati; = Sanskrit samprati] means ‘now’ (PED. p.670). The word ‘sampatti’ [saṃ + patti] means success, attainment, happiness (PED. p. 670) etc. So, B. is better reading than Rūp. T. & S.

Rule 440 :- The word ‘hiyyopabhūti’ occur in this rule. Rūp T. reads as above. B. & S. read ‘hiyyoppabhuti’. [ū of pabhūti becomes ‘u’] According to PDṬ., it is shortened : ‘pabhutisaddo ādiattho’. (PDṬ. p. 139). B. & S. are supported by PED. : ‘pabhuti [ādi] beginning, since etc’. (PED. p. 415.)

Rule 443 :- The word ‘taddhīpakattā’ occurs under this rule. B. & S. read ‘taddīpakattā’. The meaning is ‘Due to indicating that.’ [Taṃ + dīpakattā]. Similar expression occurs under many rules i. e. 452. [taṃdīpakattā], 456 [bhavissantikāla-dīpakattā], and 458 [taddīpakattā]. PDṬ., p. 141 : ‘taṃkāladīpakattāti ādi vuttaṃ’.

Rule 447 :- The words ‘tassa bhūssa’ occur under this rule. B. & S. read : ‘vāssa bhūssa’. The grammarian wants to give explanation of the vowel preceding the reduplicated syllable. When the suffix kha, cha and sa follow, the vowels a, ā, u are [optionally] changed into i. ī. For example :- Jigucchati = √gupa + cha + ti. ‘Gu’ is reduplicated = gugupachati. ‘Ga’ is changed into ‘ja’ = jugupachati. The vowel ‘u’ of ‘ju’ becomes ‘i’ = jigucchati. (KCM. p. 137). Pivāsati = √pā + sa + ti. Pā is reduplicated : pāpā. The letter ‘pā’ is changed into ‘vā’ = pāvāsati. The vowel ‘ā’ of abbhāsa is changed into ‘i’ = pivāsati. (KCM. p. 142).

Rule 450 :- The words ‘asabbadhātuke byañjanādimhe vāyamāgamo’ occur under this rule. For the words ‘nādimhe vāyagamo’ [Rūp T. & B.], S. reads ‘-nādimhevāyamāgamo’. It can be spilt as : ‘-nādimhi + eva + ayaṃ + āgamo’. As in Rūp T. & B. the meaning of ‘vā’ is ‘optional’. In the context of S. : ‘eva = only’, which is supported by PDṬ. : ‘byañjanādimhevāti ttha-mha-ssati-ssāti-evaṃ-ādike byañjanapubbake eva’ (p. 140).

Rule 457 :- The words ‘anekajātisaṃsāraṃ sandhāvissaṃ’ occur under this rule. The grammarian has given explanation that even in the sense of past, the ‘bhavissanti’ is used and in that context this example is given. Saddanīti does not agree with Rūpasiddhi Because the word ‘sandhāvissaṃ’ is not bhavissanti but it is ajjattanīvibhatti. And ‘iṃ’ is changed into ‘issaṃ’. This vidhi occurs in Saddanīti under the rule 1103. [Sadd T. vol. II p. 371] ’atikkante atthe vattabbe ‘iṃ-vibhattiyā issaṃādeso hoti vā so ca kho gāthāvisaye daṭṭhabbo, ahaṃ pure saññamissaṃ sandhāvissaṃ anibbisaṃ etc’.

Rule 463 :- The word ‘makāro’ occurs in this rule. The sound ‘m’ is augmented before the word akāro. ‘M’ is used as the sign. Then, the translation of this rule is : In ajjattanivibhatti, the sound ‘a’ of vaca becomes ‘o’, such as : avoci avociṃ etc.

Rule 464 :- Like the preceding rule, here also augment occurs as a sign. The sound ‘d’ is augmented at the initial of īcchi [kusasmā dīcchi]. This ‘d’ is then dropped.

Rule 466 :- The word ‘dīgho’ occurs under this rule. In B. & S., this word does not occur. According to vutti, ’sometimes one ‘ya’ is elided and lengthening is applicable. For example :- jiyyati = jīyati, jiyyanti = jīyanti. Rūp T., therefore seems to be better because therein we have direct injunction about lengthening.

Rule 472 :- The word ‘ucāgamo’ occurs in the stanza under this rule according to Rūp T., B. & S. It should be spilt as it is done in PDṬ. (p. 143), “u cāgamo (vā tthamhesūti tthamhesu vā ukārāgamo ca hotīti attho). The meaning is : ‘u is also augmented’. For example :- agamuttha. (VP. p. 546.). The similar explanation is found in Moggallāna Vyākaraṇa. (Mogg. p. 270 ’mhātthanamuñ vā hoti; agamumhā, agamimhā; agamuttha, agamittha.). The words ‘mekāro’ and ‘kārato’ [Rūp T], should be joined together as in B. & S.

Rule 473 :- The word ‘savuddhikabhūvādinayo’ occurs after the rule ‘niggahitañca’ [473]. Rūp T. & S. read as above. B. reads : ‘avuddhikabhūvādinayo’. According to Rūp T. & S. the roots ‘bhū’ etc have vuddhi. But according to B. the roots ‘bhū’ etc. would have no vuddhi. Rūp T. & S. therefore are correct in supposing that the group of the roots ‘bhū’ etc. have vuddhi. For Example :- bhū + a + ti = bhavati, hū + a + ti = hoti, si + a + ti = seti, sayati. (VP. p. 505). [PDṬ. p. 143. “savuddhikābhūvādito, tudādito ca paro apaccayo lopaṃ āpajjatīti”].

Rule 480 :- The words ‘asa antalopo’ occur under this rule. Rūp T. reads as above. B. & S. read : asasmā antalopoti ca adhikāro. The words ‘āsasmā’ and ‘ca’ are taken from the following rule : ‘asasmā mimānaṃ mhimhantalopo ca’ [483]. Rūp T. has maintained the original form ‘[…] asa’. But B. & S. have used it in the ablative case (pañcamī).

Rule 492 :- The words ‘avuddhikā’ and ‘bhūvādi’ occur in the concluding stanza under this rule. Here according to the grammarian the roots ‘bhū’ etc. are to be known as fourfold : 1] avuddhika 2] tudādi-s 3] hūvādi-s and 4] juhotyādi-s. The word ‘avuddhikā’ means the roots having no vuddhi as : the roots dā, dhā etc. (PDṬ. p. 146, “Dādhādayo panettha avuddhikabhūvādayo.). For example :- adāsi, dadhāsi etc. (Rūp T. p. 284.). For the word ‘bhūvādi’ [Rūp T.], B. & S. read ‘hūvādi’. (Cf. Rūp T. p. 281 “hūvādayo”).

Rule 495 :- For the rule ‘Tathā kattari ca’ [Rūp T.]. B. & S. read ‘yathā kattari ca’. KcP. (p. 237) and KCV. (p. 222) also read ‘yathā kattari ca’. The word yathā is indicating the comparision [upamānajotaka]. In the vutti, both words occur to indicate that even in the active sense, the suffix ‘ya’ is changed as well as in the impersonal and passive sense. This rule is ‘nimittātidesasutta’. Therefore, the reading in B. & S. seems better.

Rule 526 :- The words ‘evaṃ uparipi’ occur under this rule. According to PED., p. 145, and EPD. p. 2, ‘upari’ means above, over, upon. According to DPL. p. 531, ‘upari’ means above upon, over, upwards, beyond and further. It is better to translate this word in this context as: ‘Similarly, even in the [context of] further [terminations]’. Because Rūpasiddhi has given example only about the root ‘gama’ as ‘so gāmaṃ gamīyati, tena gamayīyati etc.’ But even in the case of other roots, this rule is applicable. For example :- ’ghaṭantaṃ, payojayati, ghaṭayati, ghaṭāpeti

Rule 527 :- Rūp T. reads : ‘hanantaṃ payojayatīti atthe’– ‘ṇeṇayādayo ṇamhīti vattate.’ B. & S. read : ‘hanantaṃ payojayutīti atthe ṇeṇayādayo. Ṇamhīti vattate.’

For Rūp T. the translation is : ’In the sense of ‘one makes to kill’. The words ṇeṇayādayo and ṇamhi are understood. For B. & S., translation is : ’the suffixes ‘ṇe’, ‘ṇaya’ etc. are applicable in the sense of ‘one makes to kill’. The word ‘ṇamhi’ is understood. It is better to read with B. & S. because the meaning becomes more clear as the suffixes ṇe and ṇaya are applicable like payojeti payojayati etc. And the word ‘ṇamhi’ is taken from the rule ‘ṇamhi rañjassa jo bhāvakaraṇesūti’ [563] [PDṬ. p.157].

As the conclusion of ākhytākaṇḍa, the grammarian [Buddhappiya] himself describes his composition ‘for the benefit of the dispensation’. He refers to the roots divided into two groups as : 1] akammaka [intransitive] e. g. bhavati tiṭṭhati, seti ahosi etc. 2] sakammaka [transitive] e. g. pivati, gacchati, neti etc. Even ‘akammaka-dhātu’ is used in the sense of sakammadhātu as in ‘bhikkhu bhāveti maggaṃ rāgādidūsakaṃ’. Here the root ‘bhū’ is transitive [cf. Sadd. p. 554 ’bhū pattiyaṃ. patti pāpaṇaṃ; sakammikā dhātu]. Then, the grammarian also advises the scholars to think over it. But this occurs only in Rūp T. & B. It does not occur in S.
