Lesson 107: Having Left
Index · Lesson 106: The Prefix अ · Lesson 108: He Obtains
Lesson 43: Having Gone builds गत्वा and त्यक्त्वा with no prefix on the verb. A verb that already has a prefix does not take -त्वा. It takes -य, and the prefix and the verb are one word.
| Form | Meaning |
|---|---|
| परित्यज्य | having left behind. परि is the prefix. त्यज् means “leave.” With no prefix the form is त्यक्त्वा. |
| प्राप्य | having obtained. प्र sits on आप्, “obtain.” |
| विहाय | having abandoned. वि sits on हा, “leave.” |
| आगत्य | having come. आ sits on गम्. The form is not आगत्वा. |
| आश्रित्य | having resorted to. आ sits on श्रि, “lean on.” |
| नियम्य | having held in. नि sits on यम्, “hold.” |
| Sentence | Meaning |
|---|---|
| सर्वान् धर्मान् परित्यज्य सः गच्छति। | Having left all duties, he goes. सबै धर्म छाडेर ऊ जान्छ। धर्मान् is the object plural, like छात्रान्. सर्वान् matches it. |
| फलं प्राप्य बालः तुष्यति। | Having obtained the fruit, the boy is glad. फल पाएर केटा खुशी हुन्छ। तुष्यति means “he is glad.” It follows पठति. |
| गृहम् आगत्य अहं पठामि। | Having come home, I read. गृहम् keeps म् because आगत्य starts with a vowel. |
| भयं विहाय सः तिष्ठति। | Having left fear, he stands. भयम् is written भयं before विहाय. भयम् means “fear,” डर. It is like पुस्तकम्. |
