INTRODUCTION TO ARDHA-MĀGADHI
[S. 350.
350 Nominative of the predicate of a few verbs of incomplete predication. For at Hag arag I Das. 9.4.14. 'He becomes an eternal Siddha.' कसाया अग्गिणो वुत्ता । U. 23.53. 'Passions are said to be fires.' Bg SITAT I Ay. 1.1.1. 'Who was I?' Ta poate faît o 1 Erz.' The king made her the owner of the whole kingdom.'
Words standing in apposition to the subject and words joined with nāma naturally remain in the nominative; atthi iheva bhārahe väsve pondavaddhanam nāma puram/tammi siharaho nāma rāyā Erz. 48.24, ‘There is in this very country of Bharata a town P. by name.

In cases like pādei rayanavutihi Pau. 3.69.‘he showers jewels.' bhañjanti bālassa vahena pitthi Sut. 1.5.2.14. 'They break the back of the ignorant man with weapon.' kahehi dārayauppatti Vas. 119.14. “Tell the origin of the child' we should better admit the interchange of a long vowel for a nasalised one. A disjunctive use of the Nom. is found in : so eva bhaniyametto viņiggao naravai Paum. 28.31. " When he said thus the king went away.'
352 ACCUSATIVE : It expresses the object of transitive verbs : acela a El Sut. 1.1.2.1. “They undergo
