So in the last post we have seen about the lakkaras. It is just a basic and starting a lot to cover yet, but let me not confuse you more by continuing the grammar, lets see some prose and conversations.... Below is a simple story :-

एकस्मिन् ग्रामे कश्चित् निर्धनः युवकः आसीत् । तस्य नाम धनपालः आसीत् । सः प्रतिदिनं भिक्षायै ग्रामं ग्रामं प्रति भ्रमति स्म । भिक्षायां प्राप्तैः सक्तुभिः तस्य घटः पूर्णः अभवत् । सः घटं नागदन्ते अवलम्ब्य तस्य नीचैः खट्वायां शयनं करोति स्म, शयनकाले च निरन्तरम् एकदृष्ट्या घटं पश्यति स्म ।

सः एकदा रात्रौ एवम् अचिन्तयत् – मम अयं घटः सक्तुभिः पूर्णः अस्ति । यदा दुर्भिक्ष्यं भविष्यति तदा सक्तु-विक्रयेण प्रचुरं धनं प्राप्स्यामि । ततः तेन धनेन अहम् अजाद्वयस्य क्रयं करिष्यामि । अजाद्वयस्य शिशुभिः अजानां समूहः मम समीपे भविष्यति । अजानां विक्रयेण गवां, महिषीणां, अश्वानां च क्रयं करिष्यामि, तासां शिशुभिः बहवः पशवः भविष्यन्ति । तेषां विक्रयेण मम पार्श्वे बहूनि धनानि आगमिष्यन्ति । धनेन विशालस्य भवनस्य निर्माणं कारयिष्यामि । तदा मां धनिकं मत्वा कोऽपि रूपवतीं कन्यां मह्यं प्रदास्यति। ततः मम पुत्रः भविष्यति । तस्य नाम सोमशर्मा इति करिष्यामि। कदाचित् क्रीडन् सः पुत्रः मम समीपम् आगमिष्यति। तदा कुपितः अहं स्वपत्नीं वदिष्यामि – “गृहाण एनं बालकम्।” सा गृहकार्ये संलग्ना मम वचनं यदा न श्रोष्यति तदा अहं पत्न्याः उपरि पादेन प्रहरिष्यामि।

एवं स्वप्नेन प्रेरितः सः पादप्रहारम् अकरोत्। तेन सक्तुपूरितः घटः भूमौ पतितः भग्नः च अभवत्। भग्नेन घटेन सह एव तस्य मनोरथाः अपि भग्नाः अभवन् । अतः युक्तमेव उक्तं “अतिस्वप्नरञ्जनं किमर्थम्। अति सर्वत्र वर्जयेत् ।

In English

In a village there lived a poor man. His name was Dhanpal. Everyday he used to go inside the village for alms, because of his daily routine his pot would be full of rice. Then he hanged his pot  in a hook and just down that he slept and very often he used to see the pot for his satisfaction.

One night he was dreaming that my pot is completelly full. During the bad times i would sell my rice and get a male and female goat from them i would have goat kid, then i would have a complete goat family. Later on i will sell them and get cows and buffaloes, from them too i will have cows and buffaloes kids. I will sell them then i would have a lot of money. From that money i will build my house. Seeing that a man would give a very beautiful daughter and i will marry her. I will have a son from her. He would grow up and start playing. while playing he would come to me then i would call my wife and say her to take him she did not listen and angrily I would kick her.

Even he was in dream but he was kicking in real. By mistake he kicked his own pot that pot fell down all his dream also fell down like a pot . What is the use of high dreams?

Moral of the story:

 We should not be over excited for anything.

Learn Sanskrit 16 ( grammar Lakaras part 2)

In the previous post you can find the test paper which you can see and answer, so it would be easy for you to make a quick revision of what we have learned earlier.
Now  lets go ahead with our lessons.

In the last post (Learn Sanskrit 15 (grammar)) we had learned the basic introduction to TENSE. To make more clear lets see it briefly with few examples.

So lets remember that words in sanskrit  belongs to two categories depending on whether the activity specified in the verb applies to the person himself or whether it applies to someone other than the subject of the verb.

Verbs referring to the activity for the self are said to be

"Atmanepada"  verbs.

Verbs referring to the activity for others are said to be

"Parasmaipada" verbs.

Verbs which can take both forms are known as 

"Ubhayapada" verbs

 Forms of the verb for the different tenses and moods are obtained by adding suffixes or prefixes or both to the root form and adding an infix as well. So we may say that the general form of any "lakara" is

 (prefix) + root form + infix + suffix.

The parenthesis indicates that the prefix is not present  in all forms. Let me not confuse you more i will give u a very simple example for you to understand easily.

Past tense (simple past tense)
The form here is लङ् ( lang)

As seen above the formation  of the verb may be specified by a formula.
  (prefix) + root form + infix + suffix.

The infix is based on the root person while suffix is referred to the word termination depends on the tense or mood. For simple past Tense "अ" is the prefix. The word we take here is पठति 

Person	Singular	Dual	plural
IIIrd	अपठत  He read	अपठत; They two read	अपठन They read
IInd	अपठ:  You read	अपठतं  You two read	अपठत They read
Ist	अपठम I read	अपठटाव् We two read	अपठटाम् We read

This is the very basic formula. You have to just remember the root of all the verbs like for the above word पठति  the root is पठ. Based on the root of the verbs you have to find the tense, which is not that difficult.
so let me conclude this post by just giving you a small exercise so you can understand and remember more.

Write the Lang lakaras for the following word

गच्छति ( the root of the word गच्छति is  गच्छ)
