of the instrumental case. That is, she uses the word 'saha'
or 'saddhi.m' only when the word expresses the meaning of
accompaniment, as we have seen in the above two sentences. For the
rest of the sentences, 'saha' or 'saddhi.m' is missing (as in No. 3
and 5). Is this a convention used in the Pali texts? Kindly
enlighten me.
