Synopsis
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1884 edition. Excerpt: ...as in vdhasd, ' by dint of,' Mil. 379; Suttavibh. ii. 158 (comp. the v. 1.); talasd, 'by the sole of the foot' (com. pddatalena), Jat. ii. 223; rasasd, 'by taste,' Jat. iii. 328; bilasd, padasd, Kacc. 91; balasd, ' by force,' Cariy. ii. 4, 7. In the ablative the terminations in dhammasmd, dhammaniha, and in the Ioc., dhammasmim, dhammamhi, are taken from the pronominal inflection. Besides, we have two other terminations for the ablative, to = skt. tas, and so = cas, which occur mostly in later texts, but also in a few instances in the Jataka and Dhp. Instances are ganandto, 'by number,' Jat. i. 29; cdpdto, 'from the bow,' Dh. v. 320; devato, ' from a deva,' Bv. xvi. 7; orato pdram gacchati, pdralo Oram dgacchati 'goes from this end of the field to the further end and back again from the far end to this,' Jat. i. 57; mettdto,' from friendship,' Saddhammop. v. 487, 489. With so we have bhdgaso, 'by portion,' Mil. 330; parivattaso,' by turns,' Mahaparin. 60; tini yojanaso, 'three yojanas wide,' Bv. xxi. 24. In the locative the forms in e and in smim or mhi are almost equally frequent already in earlier texts, see Torp, Die Flexion des Pali, p. 18. The forms bilasi and padasi given by Kacc. 91 do not occur anywhere else. The locative is used instead of a dative in brdhmane, Cariy. i. 9, 47. In the nom. pl. of the masculine we have a form in dse which corresponds to the vedic nom. pl. in dsas, as panditdse, 'the learned,' Fausb. S. N. xi. 167; rukkhdse, 'the trees,' Jat. iii. 399, comp. Oldenberg, KZ. xxv. 315. The acc. pl. of the masculines in e is somewhat difficult to explain: Kuhn compares it to the vedic pronominal forms asme, yushme, which are used likewise for the nominative and accusative, and refers to the explanation offered by...
