It is, however, quite possible that we have wo sentences, i.e. pratisrutam is not to be construed with pratijia. Mbh 5,70.42 (prasanianiah samabhinas ca sriyam tan asnuvimahi), where we are faced with a "discordant use of the attribute with the noun it qualifies" ( MEENAKSHI 1983: 35), is emended by VAN BUITENEN, ad. loc., to Sriyam + 1am. ‘When two subjects are connected by ca, the predicative adjective normally agrees in. gender with the nearest item (see APTE 1925: 11 [§ 22]). But cases like dhytya tusto narendrasya gandhart viduras tatha, Mbh 15,3.15, are occasionally to be met with. CE. AiGr. III § 80 rem. (pointing out the possibility that bahu is an adverb).10.2.1.

In the Epics, however, it parallels even an instrumental (plural!) and a genitive (see SEN 1952: 124 and SPEYER 1896: 17 [§ 60 rem.]): sugrivapriyabharyabhis 1arapramukhato nrpa | anyesaim vanarendranam stribhih parivrta hy aham / gantum icche sahdyodhyam rajadhdnim tvayd saha ‘I wish to go together with you to your capital Ayodhya, o king, surrounded by the dear wives of Sugriva, headed by Tara, [and] the wives of the other monkey-chiefs’, R 6,App.72.3-5 (v.l. ‘prabhytibhi), sadrsam rajasardiila tavaitad bhuvi ndnyatah ...

AtMbh 6, 103.20 (yatha prajvalitam vahnim patarigah samabhidravan | ekato mrtyum abhyeti) ekatah has the meaning ‘exclusively, only’ (HOPKINS 1902: 118). And at Mbh 12,12.11 it is used to contrast one thing against another: ekatas te trayo rajan grhasthasrama ekatah. > Cf. SPEYER (1886: 219 [§ 289]) and CALAND (1892: 105-107 [=KI. Sch. p. 554-5S6]).
