Sūtra 2·3·14
क्रियार्थोपपदस्य च कर्मणि स्थानिनः
kriyārthopapadasya ca karmaṇi sthāninaḥ
Show or hide information
The fourth case-affix is employed in denoting the object (karma) of that verb, which is suppressed (sthâni) in a sentence, and which has in construction (upapada) therewith another verb, denoting an action, performed for the sake of the future action (kriyârthe III.3.10). In other words, when the sense of an infinitive of purpose formed by ‘tumun’ and ‘nvul’ (III.3.10,) is suppressed in a sentence, the object of this infinitive is put in the Dative case.
