त्वां मुञ्चन्त्याः मम मरणं, मां मुञ्चतः तव । (हे) सारस, यस्य यः दूरस्थः सः अपि कृतान्तस्य साध्यः ॥
“Leaving you I shall meet my death; leaving me would mean your death. O Sarasai, whosoever (of us), is separated from the other will fall a victim to Death".
Here preservation of # in a is noteworthy as an archaic form.
Similarly one can illustrate तइं. 371. भिस् – प्रत्ययेन युष्मद् – सर्वनाम्नः तुम्हेहिं (आदेशः)।।
In Apabhramúa the pronoun ghe in Instr. pl. has तुम्हेहिं adesa.
युष्माभिः अस्माभिः यत्कृतं ( तद् ) दृष्टं बहुक-जनेन । तद्-तावद् समरभरः निर्जितः एकक्षणेन ॥
“What yourself and ourselves did was witnessed by innumerable (lit. 'many') persons : such a vast (lit. 'of such a vast measure') battle was won in a moment".
Here तुम्हेहिं is Instr. pl. 372. उसि-स्-प्रत्यययोः युष्मद् - सर्वनाम्नः तउ-तुज्झ-तुध्र (आदेशाः)।
In Apabhransas the pronoun युष्मद् has the adesas - तउ, तुज्झ, तुध्र-each in Abl. sing. and Gen. sing.
Illustrations of Abl. sing. : त्वत्तः ( तउ, तुज्झ, ध्र ) भवान् आगतः । — He has been from you.' Illustration of Gen. sing. : (1) तव गुणसंपदं तव मतिं तव अनुत्तरां क्षान्तिम् ।
यदि (आसाम् ) उत्पत्तिं अन्ये जनाः महीमण्डले शिक्षन्ते ॥ " Your exquisite (lit. 'rich' ) qualities, your (stupendous) intellect, and your extraordinary forbearance-if the source of these is learnt (and the qualities copied) by other persons (how wonderful it would be.)!" 1. The Sarasa bird here is an emblem of intense conjugal love
