Lesson 25. GHçmçiç&

Read Only Series.
GHçmçiç& 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 GHçmçiç& 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.
ŠþŸþÃ ŠþŽ¹·þ to go ; ‚þ + ŠþŸþÃ ‚þŠþŽ¹·þ to come.
2. To support or substantiate a particular meaning.
©nd jçínçÆlç = to climb up. ‚þ + jçínçÆlç= ‚þjçínçÆlç 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 GHçmçiç&...
1. šþþ·¨þ˜þô þþšþ·ø ˆÅ¹äþ·þÃ ˆÅ¹äþ··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 GHçmçiç& 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 ;
œþ¹£ + á = œþ¹£−þ£ to ward off.
• Some roots change their Hço with the addition of certain GHçmçiç&
GHçmçiç& Root Original Hço Changed Hço

mçcçd, DçJç, Òç, çÆJç mLçç P.P. çÆlçÿçÆlç becomes A.P.
DçJççÆlçÿlçí
mçcçd içcçd P.P. iç®sçÆlç becomes A.P.
mç²®slçí
çÆJç, Hçjç çÆpç P.P. pç³ççÆlç becomes A.P.
Hçjçpç³çlçí
çÆJç, Dçç, HççÆj jcçd A.P. jcçlçí becomes P.P.
DççjcççÆlç
Interesting fact: GHçmçiç& 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 +ŠþŸþÃ =¬þŸþ¹šþŠþŽ¹·þ = to go towards together; to go
completely over; surpass.
Now, let's go through the list of GHçmçiç& s and see what those GHçmçiç& s
mean. Note how sometimes the same GHçmçiç& can convey two completely
separate and different ideas. ( We are getting better at sighing longer
drawn out sighs, aren't we!)

Lesson 26. He who knows his pronouns... ¡þ¸Ã and ¹ˆÅŸþÃ |

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¸Ã 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¸Ã and ¹ˆÅŸþÃ |
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¸Ã and ¹ˆÅŸþÃ 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.

Appetizer Lesson 26 A. Exercises with ¡þ¸Ã and ¹ˆÅŸþÃ |

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.

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,
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 ŸþÃ 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?

Summing Up Month 5.
We have covered major study areas this month. By the end of the fifth
month, you would know
• How to decline and use the pronoun ³çá<cçod
• that upasargas, when added to the root word, can change, emphasize
or follow the meaning of a root word. Examples of upasargas + root
words have begun to appear in our "From Our Library" series.
• how the ¡þ¸Ã and ¹ˆÅŸþÃ are used.
• that trying to form sentences of your own is the only way to get
familiar with the usage of words...especially since Madame Sanskrit
Teacher( God bless her soul) has decided to give only 10 sentences for
translation each week( God bless her soul even more for that.)
• that the ˆ¼Å šþþ·é, if mastered, can help construct sentences when you
are not sure of how to conjugate verbs.
• that the "From Our Library" section builds your vocabulary and gives
you glimpses of how Sanskrit is spoken and written.
• that if you would make a list of words you would like to know Sanskrit
words for, shed your inhibitions and contact me, i could build a
wonderful dictionary of sorts especially for our study circle.
Everybody would benefit, don't you think? So start keying in.....
O.K. Month 6, here we come!
