Chapter IV Analysis of Sentences

Here two complex sentences are connected by tasmaa (= therefore), which is understood.

N.B. - Atha and tasmaa are not conjunctions like English "and", but conjunctive adverbs.

68. It is stated above that a sentence consists of two parts - the subject and the predicate. The following simple sentence may be divided into those two parts though it contains so many words:-

"Paatubhuuta-sattaratano raajaa Kaali`ngo Cakkavattii ekadivasa.m sabbaala`nkaara-patima.n.dito maalaa-vilepanadharo sabbaseta.m Kelaasakuu.ta-pa.tibhaaga.m gajaratanam aaruyha maataapitunna.m assama-pada.m paayaasi."
YP: "One day, the wheel-rolling king, the manifested-seven-gem Kalinga, decorated with all ornaments, wearing garland and perfume, mounted the all-fair Kelasakuta-resembling elephant-jewel, and set out to the foot of the hermitage of (his) parents."

Subject:
Raajaa, Kaali`ngo Cakkavattii, paatubhuuta-sattaratano, sabbaala`nkaara-patima.n.dito, maalaa-vilepanadharo.

YP: Kaali`ngo = king of Kalinga? king by the name Kalinga?

Predicate:
Paayaasi, sabbaseta.m Kelaasakuu.ta-pa.tibhaaga.m gajaratanam aaruyha, maataapitunna.m assamapada.m.

69. The subject must be a noun or some word or words used instead of a noun.

(1) A noun: Puriso gaama.m gacchati.
YP: The man goes to the village.
(2) A pronoun: So rukkha.m chindati.
YP: He cuts the tree.
(3) An adjective used as a noun: Dhanavaa geha.m ki.naati.
YP: The rich (person) buys the house.

(4) A gerund: Tattha gamana.m sukhaavaha.m bhavissati.
(5) An infinitive: Na sakkaa gantu.m.
