Note: धृ धातु , when conjugated differently, {धृ (धारयति ) to wear. धृ (धरति) to hold } has two different meanings.
विना (without) goes with the second, third and the fifth vibhakti.

1. अहं रामेण सह विद्यालयं गच्छामि  |  I go to school with Ram.
2. अहं रामेण विना विद्यालयं न गच्छामि | I do not go to school without Ram.

 

 

Languages are unique...try to translate some sentences of one language into another and we land up with preposterous statements. These two sentences  are an example. सह means "with" ...but is used specifically with the trtiya vibhakti when you wish to say "with someone. ( as in a person)" So translated it becomes "with with someone."  
Therefore मालया सह, देवेन सह, राधया सह, शिष्येन सह  etc. 
If you say अहं कन्दुकेन क्रीडामि you mean that you are playing with a ball.  If you say अहं कन्दुकेन सह क्रीडामि the idea that you convey is you and the ball are pals and the two of you are playing together while you talk and laugh and fight and do whatever kids do when they play. (Hope the difference comes through clearly.)

 

 
 
रामेण विना translated is "with Rama without"...ridiculous in English, but accurate in Sanskrit. Also accurate is रामं विना |
3. रामः ईश्वरेण सह (सार्धं वा साकं वा समं वा) खेलति | Ram is playing with Ishwar. (You can choose any one of the four. i personally prefer सह | But i keep the rest in mind so that i recognize them when they do crop up in texts.)

 


4. रामः ईश्वरः च खेलतः| Ram and Ishwar are playing. (Do you see how the two sentences are different? In sentence 3, since Ram is playing with Ishwar, Ishwar falls into the तृ०वि०  and Ram becomes the subject...therefore the verb has to be खेलति |  In sentence 4, we have two subjects therefore the verb has to be खेलतः |)
 A. Translate (Sometimes, the verb is not stated. It has to be inferred.)
बाणेन युद्धं न तु भाषणेन       ज्ञानेन साधुः न तु वल्कलेन |
रथेन यात्रा न मनोरथेन         श्रमेण विद्या न तु पुस्तकेन ||

 

 

तु  means "but". In most cases it is used  as a filler to help keep the metre of the poetic line intact. Other such fillers are हि , च , वा , वै |

B. Choose the correct word from those given in the bracket.
• महेशः ________  लिखति | (  हस्तं , हस्तः ,हस्तेन )
• जनकः _________( मोदकैः , मोदकाः ,मोदकौ ) _____(मुखाभ्यां ,
          मुखेन ,मुखैः )__________(खादतः , खादन्ति ,खादति ) |
• _____(सुरेशाभ्याम्  , सुरेशं ,सुरेशः ) _____(पुष्पैः , पुष्पे ,पुष्पेण ) _____
(पश्यामि , पश्यतः ,पश्यति )|
C. Correct the following sentences.
चेतनं सह सचिनं गच्छामि |        अहं विद्यालयैः  गच्छति |
