________________ Pāṇini - VIII. 1.7 265 (8.9.10; 9.2.16) while dache has one case of 34ef4f (17.7). There are scores of examples of 378zmfy in the older site and TET LES and usually mean 'above', or 'over' something though the commentators indiscriminately explain it as either उपरि or समीपे both, in phrases like सामीप्ये, उपरिभावे and उपरिष्ठात् समीपे all under the influence of the grammatical teaching as understood by them. A scrutinization of the examples in the state of 371464441A RA, 47G/ST, ARTE, 41a, fexuel doft and ster gives us the following result. In almost all the cases, they express the meaning above and the other shades of meanings are either due to the context of other words or the specific situation in which they occur. Mostly the Acc. of the words are used but the Loc. is also found, which fact is true of the unrepeated word 31 as well. When the objects are two or more, the repetitive sense is also found, otherwise some emphasis is implied. All these nuances of meaning are also found in all kinds of repetition and cannot be singled out for these three words alone. What Pānini then means by 11 is the quality of being in close proximity in the activity in the direction of above (with 3hfe and 34ft) and below (with 37€:) and can be rendered by such English expression as 'higher and higher and lower and lower',.but without the component of comparison which is present in the English expression. With a plural object, the meaning will be one above the other without a break’ a kind of continuity which is indicated by the word in between any two stages of the act expressed, whatever the actual physical fact. In the words of the air, it is the HId ry which is indicated in the repetition of these three words more than 31CERT, 37877901, 3414rty on the part of the speaker and the hearer. cf.
