9 Lesson 25. GHçmçiç& Read Only Series. %psgr s are prefixes. They are added to the beginning of a root word and affect the roots and their meanings in several ways. They are extremely popular in Sanskrit and you will find them invited to join a root word at the drop of a hat. There are 22 %psgr s in Sanskrit. The technical term for them is " œïþ¹." Their functions could be any of the following. 1. To change the meaning of the root. ŠþŸþà ŠþŽ¹ þ to go ; þ + ŠþŸþà þšþž¹ þ to come. 2. To support or substantiate a particular meaning. éh! raehit = to climb up. þ + raehit = araehit to climb up. 3. To emphasize the original meaning. šþþ þã šþþ þ¹ þ to run œï + šþþ þã œïšþþ þ¹ þ to run fast. Two lovely verses expound the %psgr šþþ þ þô þþšþ ø ˆÅ¹äþ þ㠈Źäþ þÿþ é þ þä ø þÿø þ ¹ þ¹ªþ þ«ù þ þ: œþ þšþäšþ¹ þ¹ þšþþ Some prefixes change the meaning of a root; some reinforce or even enhance the same; while others follow the original meanings. These are the functions of %psgr s. 2. œþ þšøäµþ šþþ þ þøä þ þþ þ þ þú þ ø œï þ þ þ þ þ ¹ þ þ œþ¹ þ þ þã œþ þšþä changes the meaning of a root, for example á changes its meaning because of various œþ þšþä s. œï + á = œï þ to strike ; þ + á = þ þ to eat; þÿþã + á = þ þ to kill ; ¹ þ + á = ¹ þ þ to walk for pleasure ; 174/189

10 œþ¹ + á = œþ¹ þ to ward off. Some roots change their pd with the addition of certain %psgr %psgr Root Original pd Changed pd sm!, Av, à, iv Swa P.P. it:qit sm! gm! P.P. gcdit iv, pra ij P.P. jyit iv, Aa, pir rm! A.P.rmte becomes A.P. Avit:Qte becomes A.P. smgcdte becomes A.P. prajyte becomes P.P. Aarmit Interesting fact: %psgr s are very generous. They give themselves away willingly. Two or more can be added quite happily to a root word. For example, þÿþã + ¹šþ +ŠþŸþà = þÿþ¹šþšþž¹ þ = to go towards together; to go completely over; surpass. Now, let's go through the list of %psgr s and see what those %psgr s mean. Note how sometimes the same %psgr can convey two completely separate and different ideas.

14 Lesson 26. He who knows his pronouns... þ à and ¹ˆÅŸþà One of my most treasured memories of this year's Chaaturmaasya is Param Poojya Swamiji's rendition of the œþ þ¹þ þþ þø þÿþã in His Divine mellifluous voice. That Devi, she who resides in all as forgiveness, knowledge, modesty...( there are many verses in the stotra, each verse revealing a quality)...to her my salutations. þþ ½ þú þ þäžê ø«é ýöþ³œøµþ þ ¹ þ þþ þÿþ þ ù þÿþ þ ù þÿþ þ ù þÿþø þÿþ: Doesn't the stotra reinforce the feeling of oneness with the Lord? There are many stotras that come up with the words " she who", " he who" or "whose." They are pronouns and can be easily understood if translated in Hindi by the word þø The pronoun is þ à and is declined in three different ways...masculine, feminine and neuter. The masculine and neuter are exactly alike except for the first two vibhaktis. Another pronoun, ¹ˆÅŸþÃ,is used to ask questions. That too is declined in the three genders. Take a look at Supplement 10 which will give you the complete declensions of þ à and ¹ˆÅŸþà The entire lot are so rhythmic and musical that it is pretty easy to memorize them. Trust me. Keep the supplement handy to refer to while i go on with the lesson. þ à and ¹ˆÅŸþà are used extensively in conversations and riddles. i may ask... þ: œïˆåþªþ þž¹ þ, þ: ˆÅ:? He who gives light, who is he? þ: œïˆåþªþ þž¹ þ, þ: ê þä: He who gives light, he is the Sun. Or i may ask...ˆ½å þ þ, þÿþ: ŠþŽ¹ þ? And someone might answer... ø þ þ þÿþ: ŠþŽ¹ þ, þ þ þþÿþ Ÿøªþ: ˆÅ þþ þ, þÿþ: ŠþŽ¹ þ? þú þ þþ þ þÿþ: ŠþŽ¹ þ þ ½ þÿþã þÿþþ¹ÿþ, þ ½ þ þÿþã ¹œþ þÿþ¹ þ...¹þ þ ½ þ ˆÅø ŸÎ þÿþ ˆÅþ ˆÅ þú/ ˆÅ þþ»â, þ ½ þ ˆÅø éÿþ žþú þÿþ ˆÅþ ˆÅ ø ø Fairly simple isn't it? Now over to our exercise lesson. 179/189

15 Appetizer Lesson 26 A. Exercises with þ à and ¹ˆÅŸþà We've avtaarofied yet again! A little birdie told me that we have spent enough time on translating hazaar sentences. So i told the little birdie that i would get my Buffets and Banquets to go into hibernation, since my students now have got the hang of it. ONE exercise lesson with each detailed concept lesson and 10 sentences set for translations. That's it and no more. They will be called "Appetizers"... hoping to whet your appetite. You'll have to cook your meals yourself, though! Thrown in for good measure, once in a while, will be lessons called " Hearty Khichadis"... revision lessons which will encompass all things learned so far. There will be no concept lessons accompanying them. The coming lessons will concentrate on building your vocabulary. Now, knowing how to handle each vibhakti, the verbs, adjectives and avyayas, you can intelligently use the words to start conversing with whosoever will listen to you. With the bonus time that you will acquire, you will set yourselves to 1. concentrating on memorizing the slowly-but-surely-ever-growing Supplement Section. 2. writing your own simple sentences AND sending them to me for my scrutiny. So shall we begin? Translate: 1. Who gives the poor man wealth? 2. He who gives the poor man wealth, he is a rich man. 3. Amongst the students, he whose name is Ram,( he) come here. 4. Who is standing here? ( feminine) 5. If Gopal is not here then how am i cooking? ( oh, dear.) 6. Give that boy milk. 7. Who is giving that boy milk? 8.

17 Lesson 27. Making life easy with the ˆ¼Å šþþ é ( To be sung to the tune of the Beetles number!) Listen, do you want to know a secret.. Do you promise all to tell(!) oh, ohhhh... Closer, let me whisper in your ear.. the ˆ¼Å šþþ é is always here, To be used by you...uuuuuuu ( Here's hoping that i shall not be sued for plagiarism!) Sometimes the sheer effort of having to remember which šþþ é conjugates in which manner, can get one's morale down. Right up to one's toes. You come across a new šþþ é and you wonder..."which Šþµþ is it from? How is it conjugated? Which is the correct ¹ þˆå µþ to add?" Well, wonder no further, dear one. Take a look at the following sentences. þÿþþ¹ÿþ þÿþ þ ˆÅ ø¹ÿþ ˆÅ þ þþ¹ÿþ ˆÅ þ þ ˆÅ ø¹ÿþ ¹þ þ þþ¹ÿþ ¹þ þ þ ˆÅ ø¹ÿþ œêþ þþ¹ÿþ œêþ þ ˆÅ ø¹ÿþ Is the horizon looking brighter? I just convert a root word, šþþ é, into a noun in the singular( ˆÅ þþ þ,) object form (¹ þú þþ ¹ þžþ¹æ þ), add ˆÅ ø¹ÿþ (if the subject is "I") and VOILA! I am doing namaskaar. I am doing talk. I am doing thought. I am doing worship. Sounds absolutely ridiculous translated in English, but in Sanskrit, it is the done thing. Acceptable too. Without a doubt. Trust me. So, š þþ þþ¹ÿþ, becomes š þþ þ ˆÅ ø¹ÿþ Simple. Your discovery today: šþþ é s can be converted into a noun and a verb as well! Your question today: Can šþþ é s be converted into other thingamajiggees? My answer: Wait and watch! There are millions of words we are already familiar with. We use them as nouns every single day. þþ þ, š þ þ þ, žþþ þ,žþøþ þ, ý þµþ, Ÿþ þ þ, 182/189

18 ¹þ þ þ, ¹ þ¹ š þþ þ þ, ªþ þ þ, ø þ þ, Ÿþ þø Øþ þ...so on and so forth. Just add the Ÿþà to your noun, add the ˆÅ ø¹ÿþ ( only if you are using the ˆÅ þþä, of course ) and your sentence is ready. Why didn't i tell you this before? There's a very important reason... Much as the ˆ¼Å šþþ é simplifies sentence structures, it robs the language of its sweetness if used too generously. How often can one use ˆÅ ø¹ÿþ and sound like a scholar at the same time?! Therefore it's best to revert to the ˆ¼Å šþþ é only when you are unsure of a verb's conjugated forms. This wonder šþþ é ( 8. U.P.) shall now be revealed to you in all its glory in the Supplement section. Just the þùã and þøùã today...the present tense and the imperative mood... Please refer to Supplement 11. Is it right in front of you? Here goes... Present tense examples: Let's take the word ø þ þÿþã and use it with the ˆ¼Å šþþ é. ø þ þÿþã is the noun form meaning "to write."... ø þ þ ˆÅ ø¹ÿþ I am writing. þ: ø þ þ ˆÅ ø¹ þ He is writing. þ ø þ þ ˆÅ ø¹«þ You are writing. é þþ ø þ þ ˆºÅ² þ: The two of you are writing. And so on and so forth. Do you see how when forming sentences, the form of the noun, as in whatever it is that one is doing, does not change? It remains the same whether I, you or he does the writing, or the cooking, or the eating, or the cleaning. Just make sure to match the ˆÅ þþä with its correct verb form. Imperative mood examples: þ ø þ þ ˆºÅ² You write. ¹ˆÅ þ þ ø þ þ ˆÅ þþÿþ? May all of us write? Over to the Appetizer exercise now. 183/189
