Lesson 13

Beginning Prayers:
  • शुक्लाम्बरधरं विष्णुम् - shuklaambaradharaM viShNum
  • सरस्वति नमस्तुभ्यम् - saraswati namastubhyam 
  • गुरुर्ब्रह्मा गुरुर्विष्णुः - gururbrahmaa gururviShNuH 
Topic Summary:
  • More pronouns in all the 3 genders
  • Building vocabulary
Home Work:
  • Make as many small sentences using the pronouns, nouns and verbs learnt so far. (Hint: Use the vocabulary list for assistance.  Write their English meanings below the Sanskrit sentences.)
Topic Details:
The pronouns for today are words to refer to things/persons who are far away, as in, 'he/she/that'.  The gender of the pronoun used depends on the gender of the word that is used for the noun.

The word for 'he' is सः (saH)
The word for 'she' is सा (saa)
The word for 'it/that' is तत् (tat)

Sentences made using these words, reinforce our learning.

सः अजः saH ajaH m. That is a goat
सः गजः  saH gajaH  m. That is an elephant
सः बालः  saH baalaH  m. He is a boy
सः चोरः saH choraH m. He is a thief
सः स्तेनः  saH stenaH  m. He is a thief
सः तस्करः saH taskaraH m. He is a thief




सा बालिका saa baalikaa f. She is a girl
सा लता saa lataa f. That is a creeper
सा भर्या saa bharyaa f. She is a wife
सा माला saa maalaa f. That is a garland




तत् पर्णम् tat parNam n. It is a leaf
तत् पुस्तकम् tat pustakam n. It is a book
तत् फलम्  tat phalam  n. It is a fruit

Now put these pronouns, nouns and verbs learnt previously to make your own sentences.

Ending prayer:
  •  ॐ पूर्णमदः पूर्णमिदम् - aum pUrNamadaH pUrNamidam
