Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)

[«𱹾dzܲ Ա»] � Karmavadbhava in Vyakarana glossary
: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammar

Karmavadbhāva (कर्मवद्भाव).—The activity of the agent or kartā of an action represented as object or karman of that very action, for the sake of grammatical operations: e. g. भिद्यत� काष्ठं स्वयमे� (bhidyate kāṣṭha� svayameva);. करिष्यते कट� स्वयमे� (kariṣyate kaṭa� svayameva). To show facility of a verbal activity on the object, when the agent or kartā is dispensed with, and the object is looked upon as the agent, and used also as an agent, the verbal terminations ति, � (ti, ta); etc. are not applied in the sense of an agent, but they are applied in the sense of an object; consequently the sign of the voice is not � (a) (शप� (ś)), but � (ya) (यक� (yak)) and the verbal terminations are �, आताम� (ta, ) etc. (तङ� (ٲ�)) instead of ति, तस� (ti, tas) etc. In popular language the use of an expression of this type is called Karmakartari-Prayoga. For details see M. Bh. on कर्मवत्कर्मण� तुल्यक्रिय� (karmavatkarmaṇ� tulyakriya�) P.III.1.87. Only such roots as are कर्मस्थक्रिय� (karmasthakriyaka) or कर्मस्थभाव� (첹ٳ󲹲屹첹) i.e. roots whose verbal activity is noticed in the object and not in the subject can have this Karmakartari-Prayoga.
