Questions
What are प्रत्यया: and how are they classified in Sanskrit grammar?
Refer to the introduction section where प्रत्यया: are defined and classified.
Solution
प्रत्यया: are suffixes added to the end of roots (धातु) or stems (प्रातिपदिक) to form new words or to indicate grammatical relations. They are classified into three main types: कृत् प्रत्यया:, तद्धित प्रत्यया:, and स्त्रीप्रत्यया:. कृत् प्रत्यया: are added to roots to form nouns and adjectives, तद्धित प्रत्यया: are added to nouns to form derivatives, and स्त्रीप्रत्यया: are used to form feminine nouns. For example, adding the कृत् प्रत्यय 'क्त' to the root 'गम्' forms 'गत:', meaning 'gone'. Similarly, adding the तद्धित प्रत्यय 'इक' to 'ग्राम' forms 'ग्रामिक:', meaning 'related to a village'. स्त्रीप्रत्यया: like 'टाप्' are added to masculine nouns to form their feminine counterparts, e.g., 'बालक' becomes 'बालिका'.
Explain the use of शतृ प्रत्यय with examples.
Look for examples in the शतृ-प्रत्यय section.
Solution
The शतृ प्रत्यय is used to form present participles from roots, indicating an action that is currently being performed. It is added to the root in the present tense. For example, the root 'गम्' (to go) with शतृ becomes 'गच्छन्' (going), 'पठ्' (to read) becomes 'पठन्' (reading). These participles can be declined like adjectives to match the gender, number, and case of the noun they describe. For instance, 'गच्छन् बालक:' (the boy who is going), 'पठन्ती बालिका' (the girl who is reading). The शतृ प्रत्यय is essential for constructing sentences that describe ongoing actions.
Describe the function of शानच् प्रत्यय and provide examples.
Check the शानच्-प्रत्यय section for detailed examples.
Solution
The शानच् प्रत्यय is used to form present participles for आत्मनेपद roots, indicating an action being performed by the subject for themselves. It is added to the root in the present tense. For example, the root 'सेव्' (to serve) with शानच् becomes 'सेवमान:' (serving), 'मुद्' (to rejoice) becomes 'मोदमान:' (rejoicing). These participles agree in gender, number, and case with the noun they describe. For instance, 'सेवमान: बालक:' (the boy who is serving himself), 'मोदमाना बालिका' (the girl who is rejoicing). The शानच् प्रत्यय is crucial for expressing reflexive or self-directed actions.
What is the significance of तव्यत् प्रत्यय in Sanskrit?
Refer to the तव्यत्-प्रत्यय section for more examples.
Solution
The तव्यत् प्रत्यय is used to form gerunds or future passive participles, indicating an action that should or must be done. It is added to the root and often conveys obligation or necessity. For example, the root 'कृ' (to do) with तव्यत् becomes 'कर्तव्य:' (to be done), 'पठ्' (to read) becomes 'पठितव्य:' (to be read). These forms are used in sentences like 'कर्तव्यं धर्मं संरक्षेत्' (One should protect duty) and 'पठितव्य: ग्रन्थ:' (The book should be read). The तव्यत् प्रत्यय is essential for expressing duties, obligations, or necessary actions.
How is the अनीयर् प्रत्यय used in Sanskrit?
Look for examples in the अनीयर्-प्रत्यय section.
Solution
The अनीयर् प्रत्यय is used to form adjectives indicating worthiness or necessity, often translating to 'worthy of' or 'should be'. It is added to the root or noun. For example, the root 'पूज्' (to worship) with अनीयर् becomes 'पूजनीय:' (worthy of worship), 'रक्ष्' (to protect) becomes 'रक्षणीय:' (should be protected). These forms are used in sentences like 'गुरव: पूजनीया:' (Teachers are worthy of worship) and 'धर्म: रक्षणीय:' (Duty should be protected). The अनीयर् प्रत्यय is crucial for expressing values, duties, or qualities that are deserving of attention or action.
Explain the role of मतुप् and वतुप् प्रत्यय in Sanskrit.
Refer to the मतुप् and वतुप् section for detailed examples.
Solution
The मतुप् and वतुप् प्रत्यय are used to form possessive adjectives, indicating possession or association. मतुप् is added to nouns ending in consonants, and वतुप् to those ending in vowels. For example, 'बुद्धि' (intelligence) with मतुप् becomes 'बुद्धिमान्' (intelligent), 'धन' (wealth) with वतुप् becomes 'धनवान्' (wealthy). These forms are used in sentences like 'बुद्धिमान् जन:' (an intelligent person) and 'धनवान् पुरुष:' (a wealthy man). The मतुप् and वतुप् प्रत्यय are essential for describing qualities or possessions associated with nouns.
What is the function of इन् प्रत्यय in Sanskrit?
Check the इन्-प्रत्यय section for examples.
Solution
The इन् प्रत्यय is used to form adjectives indicating possession or association, similar to मतुप् and वतुप्. It is added to nouns to denote someone who possesses the quality or object. For example, 'बल' (strength) with इन् becomes 'बलिन्' (strong), 'गुण' (virtue) becomes 'गुणिन्' (virtuous). These forms are used in sentences like 'बलिन् जन:' (a strong person) and 'गुणिनी नारी' (a virtuous woman).

Refer to the त्व and तल् section for more examples.
Solution
The त्व and तल् प्रत्यय are used to form abstract nouns indicating a state or quality. त्व is added to stems ending in consonants, and तल् to those ending in vowels. For example, 'गुरु' (heavy) with त्व becomes 'गुरुत्व' (gravity), 'महत्' (great) with तल् becomes 'महत्ता' (greatness). These forms are used in sentences like 'गुरुत्वं भारस्य' (the gravity of weight) and 'महत्ता गुणस्य' (the greatness of virtue).

For example, 'ग्राम' (village) with ठक् becomes 'ग्रामिक:' (related to a village), 'देश' (country) becomes 'देशिक:' (related to a country). These forms are used in sentences like 'ग्रामिक: जन:' (a villager) and 'देशिका भाषा' (the national language). The ठक् प्रत्यय is crucial for describing relationships or affiliations.
Explain the significance of स्त्रीप्रत्यया: in Sanskrit grammar.
Refer to the स्त्रीप्रत्यया: section for detailed examples.
Solution
स्त्रीप्रत्यया: are suffixes used to form feminine nouns from masculine or neuter stems. Common स्त्रीप्रत्यया: include टाप्, ङीप्, and ङीष्. For example, 'बालक' (boy) with टाप् becomes 'बालिका' (girl), 'गुरु' (teacher) with ङीप् becomes 'गुर्वी' (female teacher). These forms are used in sentences like 'बालिका पठति' (the girl reads) and 'गुर्वी अध्यापिका' (the female teacher). स्त्रीप्रत्यया: are essential for gender agreement in Sanskrit grammar, ensuring nouns and adjectives match in gender.
