Another example of a passive used in active sense occurs in Setu 15.86: 5 f737 51 FH CE!... H FAST aparea FT G... afogo a 334 ÀE-30-1 Here disihisi (draksyase) is used for drakşyasi. The forms disahasi and disihasi occur in Lila 695, 708 where they are used in the regular sense. Setu 3.33 has likewise disihai (draksyate). Cf. GS 7.17. It is therefore surprising to find dīsihi si used in the same work in active sense; and the variant dacchihisi shows that this irregular form is not found in all the recensions. It may, however, be pointed out that disai (dyśyale) is sometimes used in active sense in Apabhramśa, and more than one instance of this occurs in Svayambhū's Païmacariu”. The occurrence of disihisi in active sense in Setu 15.86 might be due to the influence of Apabhramśa of which there are other indications in the text followed by Rāmadāsa.
Some of the infinitives used in Setu are ghettum 10.40, ahileum 4.53, loheum 11.27, langheum 12.80, ņiatteum 3.24, nivyodhum 1.93, kāum 4.36, appāheum 11.31 etc. Some infinitives are formed by adding the suffix to passive verbs; e. g., 3117a afazi forfas TE31341 4.51; a z 437 ... 3FF7EU L' 8.30; afragi 9371... FEU qaft 7.71. 171 173 43477.... CATTY 12.45. These infinitives of passive verbs are usually followed by the past participle of a verb meaning 'to begin' to mark the commencement of the action denoted by the infinitive.4 1 HC's mention of pijjaï (4:10) as an active verb appears to be based on current
usage. 2 वहिणि सहोयार दससयणेत्तहो ।। किर सहुँ सहियहि ढुक्कइ सरवरु दीसइ ताम सयरु TEATAE || fat fraaie ... 5.4.7 ff.; egye å fogtutte q$u$ I 1961
