LESSON 1
THE SANSKRIT ALPHABET
1. The Vowels—There are 13 vowels in the Sanskrit alphabet.
They are divided into simple vowels and diphthongs.
Every simple vowel, except the last, last shows a short and a
long form.
J short: a 5 i 3 u % r 3 1
Simple vowels 1 , * J.
[ long : en a f I u H r
Diphthongs: tr e ai 8?t o sft au
2. The Consonants—The Sanskrit consonants are classified according
to the organs of pronounciation. There are five categories : those
pronounced from the throat are called gutturals; those pronounced
from the palate are called palatals; those pronounced from the
roof of the mouth are called cerebrals; those pronounced from the
teeth are called dentals; those pronounced from the lips are called '
labials—The Sanskrit names for those five categories are :
qsN'*
Each category contains seven consonants : 5 mutes, 1 semi-vowel
and 1 sibilant. The five mutes of each category are divided as follows :
2 hard mutes, one non-aspirate, the other aspirate ; 3 soft mutes, one
non aspirate, the second aspirate and the third nasai. The semi-vowels
are soft, the sibilants are hard.

lst pers. ^ f a
I fall We two fall We fall
2nd pers. ^ftr
Thou fallest You two fall You fall
3rd pers. ^fa ^ f o
He falls They two fall They fall
In roots like sffa (to live) and (to blame), the medial
vowel does not take gur>a because it is long.—Hence : sffafa, fa^fa I
Roots having a final vowel, short or long: ftr (to conquer),
(to become), ^ (to move).
Formation of the base
(1) Guiia of the final vowel—fa § ; ;
(2) The letter e? is added—sr + 8?;
In Sanskrit, two vowels following each other must be com-
bined according to definite rules. Those rules are called the rules
of vowel-sandhi.
In the case of and of *ft+3|, the following rules applies :
When IT and 9FT are followed, in the same word, by any vowel. they
are changed respectively to 0TT and e^
Hence: ; 3?=*rsr

The sons become heroes—g^TT: qftfof ^tlT: 1
(3) to indicate a noun in apposition to the subject:
Rama, the hero conquers—im: 1
14. The Accusative case is used :
(1) to indicate the direct object of a transitive verb :
The father leads the sons—^b: gsfi^ siqfa i

LESSON 15
NOUNS ENDING IN CONSONANTS
72. General Principles of Consonant-Sandhi
(1) No Sanskrit word can end with more than one consonant. A
final compound consonant must be reduced to its first member, e.g. : ift^Ef
becomes
(2) Exception is made for a final double consonant the first member
of which is ^ and the second, a consonant which is not a termination
e.g.: which according to (3) will become I
(3) A Sanskrit word (i.e. a verb with its terminations or a nominal
stem with ks case-ending) can end only with one of the eight following
consonants: ,2 , q, or visarga. All other final consonants
must be reduced to one of these eight:
and palatals are reduced to ^ or e.g.: ^re becomes
99T5T becomes 5RT2 I
Cerebral are reduced to e g . : STTf^becomes STf?
Dentals are reduced to e.g. : g g ^ becomes
Labials are reduced q , e.g. : becomes
^ and ^ are reduced to visarga, e.g.: becomes ftRTC^
becomes focP'i
(4) A final hard consonant becomes soft before a vowel or a soft
consonant, e.g. : ^qr^ 5 ^WK ^ifo 1
(5) This rule does not apply to the final hard consonant of a
verbal base or a nominal stem followed by a termination or a case-ending
beginning with a vowel or a semi-vowel, e.g.: I

PRESENT AND PERFECT PARTICIPLES
83. Present participle active and passive ( grg, s r ^ )
(1) Present participle active
Verbs taking parasmaipada terminations form their present participle
active in . To form it, the termination 3?f?cT of the 3rd pers. plur.
of the present active is replaced by sr^
e.g.: ift H^far — — leading
% ^o^cT — — playing
f ^ — f^RTfll — entering
^qfal — — stealing
In the masculine and neuter, the present participle parasmaipada
is declined like sfor^ (see No. 82), wiih the following modifications :
(1) the nom. sing. masc. does not lengthen the 8?;
PRESENT AND PERFECT PARTICIPLES 85
(2) the nom., accus. and vocative dual neuter take the strong
stem in—8?^, necessarily in the 1st, 4th and 10th conjugations, and
optionally in the 6th conjugation.

fflq^and ^fq^= 4 having done'.
(2) nouns ending in s?^
(3) adjectives of direction ending in a?^

INDECLINABLE PAST PARTICIPLE ( qsn and )
LOCATIVE AND GENITIVE ABSOLUTE
115. The participles dealt with so far are treated like adjectives
and are subject to the rules of agreement with the noun
they qualify.
There exists a past participle active, also called gerund, which
is never declined.
Its formation is as follows:
(1) verbs not preceded by a preposition form their gerund by

LESSON 26
THE ADVERB-CLAUSE
127. The adverb-clause expresses a particular circumstance of
the action of the main clause. In Sanskrit, the adverb
clause generally precedes the main clause and is introduced by a
conjunctive adverb to which a simple adverb corresponds in the
main clause' e.g. : The tree lies where it fell* will be translated
into Sanskrit as "Where the tree fell, there it lies".
