Doubts in ॐ भद्रं कर्णेभिः शृणुयाम देवाः

[RamanaMurthy Bathala]

Dear Sir,

I have come across the Shanti Mantra: 

ॐ भद्रं कर्णेभिः शृणुयाम देवाः ।

भद्रं पश्येमाक्षभिर्यजत्राः ।

स्थिरैरङ्गैस्तुष्टुवांसस्तनूभिः ।

व्यशेम देवहितं यदायुः ।

I have two doubts:

1)

कर्णेभिः = with the ears (ear)

But कर्ण is masculine word. Its instrumental plural is कर्णैः .

But in the sloka the inflected word used is : कर्णेभिः

2) व्यशेम = वि + अशेम = may (we) live

What is the tense or mood of the word अशेम? What is its root (धातु) and to which class it belongs? Is it आत्मनेपद or परस्मैपद?

I request someone to provide the answers to the above questions.

Thanks in advance.

Regards

व्यशेम from वि+ अश् (A and P 1) = To reach, attain. First person, singular, optative mood.  Meaning of व्यशेम = 'May we attain'   (As later in the same hymn पश्येम.)

कर्णेभि: = कर्णै:, आर्ष प्रयोग.

Sorry, I meant 'Plural' in the above.

Dear Sir,

Thanks for the reply.

In your reply, you mentioned " अश् (A and P 1)". Does "1" mean it belongs to 1st class?

I have seen अश् belonging to 5th class as per Apte's Dictionary.

I do not know how to conjugate verbs. So I use the website "http://sanskrit.inria.fr/DICO/grammar.html" for getting the conjugated forms.

1. When I mention that it belongs to 1st class, I get the correct form अशेम in विधिलिङ्ग् (first person, plural)

2. When I mention that it belongs to 5th class, I get the different form अश्नुवीमहि in विधिलिङ्ग् (first person, plural).

I am confused here. Please clarify.

अतो भिस ऐस् 7.1.9 इति भाषायां नित्यं कर्णैः इति।

बहुलं छन्दसि 7.1.10 इति च्छन्दसि क्वचिदप्रवृत्तिः। तत्र कर्णेभिः इति रूपं जायते।

[hnbhat]

Yes. It is used in different 1st class in Vedic usage.
