                                                                        Lesson 73. च्विप्रयोगः

Once upon a time there was a forest. A peaceful dense forest with not a man treading its hallowed precincts. One day a hunter chanced upon this natural beauty and proceeded to build a hut on its very edge. "I must let my family know of this wonder. My cousins too would like a home here."
Alas, the hunter had converted the forest into a village!

 

Example:
कः एष व्याधः यः तपोवनं स्वाज्ञया ग्रामीकरोति  |
The word ग्रामीकरोति  is a च्विरूपम्  | Whenever you wish to bring into अस्तित्व, into existence, something that was hitherto not present in an object, the च्विप्रयोग  is available for your use.

 

 

Let's look at a few more examples before I explain to you how you can form these words.
 
1. फेर  ऍण्ड  लव्ली  मुखं धवलीकरोति   |
    'Fair and Lovely' makes one's face fair.

2. मातुः दुःखं  लघूकर्तुं, बालिका तस्याः कृते पुष्पाणि आनयत्    |
    To lessen the unhappiness her mother was feeling, the girl bought her flowers. 

3. मातुः दुःखं  लघूकृत्य, बालिका क्रीडाङ्गणम्  अगच्छत्   |
    Having lessened her mother's unhappiness, the girl went to the playground.

4. गाईड् इति चित्रपटे देवानन्दः साधूभूतः  |
    In the film 'Guide', Dev Anand became a sadhu.

5. स्वस्य  इच्छा तेन प्रकटीकृता  |
    He expressed his wish.

6. सर्वे कपोताः एकचित्तीभूय उड्डयन्त   |
    All the pigeons flew as one.

 

                                                              

How about just a few more words?
सुरभीकरोति, गृहीभवति, शुक्लीभूतः, सफलीभूता, औषधीकर्तुम्, चूर्णीभविष्यति, स्पष्टीकरणम्    |

 

 

 

 

So what's the common thread? Obviously the following…
1. The first part of the words ALL seem to end in either ई or ऊ  ,
2. The endings of the words can be ALL forms of the कृ  or the भू धातु  |

    Let's get into the basics now….
1. The beginnings of the words can be either nouns (नाम ) or adjectives (विशेषण). For example, either गृह  (नाम )  or शुक्ल  (विशेषण).
2. Those nouns or adjectives are converted into either an ई  or an ऊ   depending on whether the original word ended in an अ ,आ  or an उ | ग्राम + कृ  =

    ग्रामीकरोति | सफला  + भू  = सफलीभूता  | साधु  + भू  = साधूभूतः |
3. There can never be a त्वान्त  word, only a ल्यबन्त , simply because a prefix has been added.
    मूर्तीभूय  and not  मूर्तीभूत्वा   |
4. Though all forms of the कृ  or the  भू धातु  can be used, while forming the past tense, the addition of the अ  before the धातु  can pose a problem. 

    (Pose?? IT DOES!!!! ) Circumvent this by using the क्त प्रत्यय  | Then you must remember that with the कृ  धातु  which is सकर्मक  you will need to use   the कर्मणि    construction. This is not applicable to the भू  धातु ,  simply because it is an अकर्मक  धातुः  |

For example:
भयेन  दमयन्ती  कातरीभूता  |
अध्यापकेन  कृष्णफलकः  शुक्लीकृतः  |  Gotit?                                                                                                                                                                             

Translate the following. Convert the bold type into the  च्विरूपम्   |
 1. Tarakasura treats (makes) the three worlds as grass.तृण |
 2. By the boon received from Brahma, he has  become arrogant. गर्व |
 3. The Devas and the people become unhappy.  दुःख |
 4. They express their unhappiness to Brahma. प्रकट |
 5. Brahma explains his idea. स्पष्ट |
 6. Parvati, having become Shiva's servant, serves Him with devotion. दासी |
 7. Shiva, having made Madana into ash, sits in meditation. भस्म |
 8. Seeing her husband in such a state, Rati becomes very uneasy.  व्याकुल |
 9. "Tarakasura having become an enemy, troubles us," they say वैरी  + भू  |
10. " To make us happy, forgive Madana and make Parvati a bride." सुख / वधू  |
11. Shiva's anger cools down.  शीतल |
12.  He accepts Parvati. अङ्ग |
13.  " Madana will become Pradyuma and Rati too will become happy." says Shiva. प्रद्युम्न  / सुख  |

 

Do try converting the same present-tense sentences into the past for further practice. Remember to use the passive construction.
