Level 2. The second vibhakti.
It is time that we take our study of Sanskrit to Level 2. You would have
developed quite a bit of understanding of the language by now. However,
when reading texts or when attempting to translate subhashitas, you might
find yourself wondering why a particular vibhakti has been used and not
another more 'logical' one. The answer is quite simple actually. grammar
rules. And how!
I'll take you through each vibhakti and list out the words that compel you to
use a particular vibhakti. Explanations/examples follow after the list.
Let's understand a few technical terms first.
The relationship between a noun and a verb is called @pZ@ $

Therefore any relationship between words that are not connected to a
verb cannot be called a @pZ@ $
There are six kark s in Sanskrit. @O"p @X" @ZNp _"XT"QpS" T"pQpS"
and {R"@ZNp ie, all the vibhaktis except the sixth.
The sixth connects to another noun in a sentence and not to a verb
and therefore is not categorized as a @pZ@ $ For exmple: {p\"_Y"
T"se"# BpNpup#$ {p\"_Y" connects to T"se"# $
Certain indeclinables, \Y"Y"s , are used with certain vibhaktis. For
example when ever you use {W"O"# , which means 'all around', you
need to use the second vibhakti. RY"pT"@X"o {W"O"# F>pe"p#
T"{\"p[SO" $ The students sit all around the teacher.
Level 2 - Month 18 Lessons 65 - 70. 444/485

Vibhaktis which are thus governed by indeclinables are called

T"T"Q{\"W"[O" s.
Similarly, we have vibhaktis which are governed by verbs. For example,
whenever you use the verb Qp in any form, the person that the gift is
given to is always'chosen' from the fourth vibhakti. `z ZpX"pY" T"s^T"z
QQp{X" $ I give Rama a flower.

These verb-governed vibhaktis are called @pZ@{\"W"[O" s.
Now let's get to the job on hand:
Whenever you use the following words, you must use the {O"rY"p {\"W"[O"#
You've already done a few in Level 1. This is the complete list.
The first vibhakti is used only to identify the subject and the number and
gender of the subject. It is not an T"T"Q{\"W"[O"# or a @pZ@{\"W"[O"# $

consider those verbs and the sixth vibhakti as having a 'relation'. (Sounds
confusing but let's leave it at that.) However there are several words and
ideas best expressed with the Genitive.
