568 A CRITICAL STUDY OF PAUMACARIYAN
Optional used of basic forms in Acc. is a tendency of the Apabhraíśa (Hem. 8.4.344). 'usabhe' (usabhe sumamgalāe jão bharaho 20.106) Inst. Sing. is just like Apabhraíśa (See Hem, 8.4.333 and P. L. Vaidya's notes). Name' is such an example in Lilāvai p. 81.
'Hi' is used as Loc. Sing. in 'mahurahi' at 89.24 (Māgadhi of Mrcchakațika also uses this form-Pischel.).
Kavana (Kim)' as Interrogative pronoun is observed in the PCV at a few places. (71.8, 105. 29, 110.13; 117.28; 118.62.). "Kavaņā' at 79.10 as Fem. Nom. Sing; Kavanam' at 118.61 as Masc. Acc. Sing.; at 118.40 and 77.68 as Fem. Acc. Sing.; and at 94.98 as Neut. Acc. Sing. According to Hemacandra (8.4.367) it is an Apabhramśa (See form Pischel 428) also.
Verbal Terminations There is no distinction between Parasmaipada and Ätmanepada roots. Generally the Parasmaipada terminations are appended to the verbal roots, but some Ātmanepada forms are also found in the Paumacariyam.
The complications of ten conjugations of Sanskrit have been simplified by doing away with their distinctions. All the roots generally end in vowels and the terminations are directly appended to them. Thus there is no necessity of adding conjugational signs before the terminations. Though the system has been simplified yet some of the conjugational signs with the necessary phonetic changes survive in the language of the PCV.
There are generally two tenses-the Present and the Future. The Past is denoted by Past-passive participles.
Present Tense I. Sing. fF-HTPA PiBĘ, I. Plural 1-94531 88313 II. Sing. fa-HTTFET EIEE II. Plural -farat 251€5 III. Sing. इ-बन्धइ २।६७ III. Plural न्ति-रडन्ति ५६।४५
At 102.75 there is 'anumayanti' metri causa. There are three instances of 'mu' turmination for I Plu. 'vacchâmu'17.38; 45.38 'paremu' 117.21. Hemacandra (8.3. 144) permits it.
Termination of Plural for Singular 'Mo' termination is used for 1st Person sing. Example:
अभिरमामो ३३।४८, पन्थेमो ३१।३६, गिहिमो ३१।५१, १०८।३२, भुजिमो ५२।२०; १०५।६१, काहिसिमो ५६।१५.
