Lesson 66: The King
Index · Lesson 65: The Name · Lesson 67: The Self
राजा means “a king.” The subject has no visarga. Lesson 29: Mother and Father has पिता, and राजा is a different column after the subject. The object is राजानम्. The with-form is राज्ञा. The of-form is राज्ञः. The call is हे राजन्, with no visarga.
हनुमान्, on the gods page, is not this column. It stays a subject form, like महान्.
