Prahelika

[Mohan Chettoor]

Here is a prahelika. 

 You have to identify the verb(क्रियापदम्) in this sloka, with its grammatical form.

"प्रातः प्रातः समुत्थाय द्वौ मुनी कुंभमंभसा।"

अत्र क्रियापदं वक्त्तुर्हैमं दास्यामि कङ्कणम्।

[It's literal meaning goes like this: "Whosoever finds out the verb in the first part of  this sloka will get a bangle made of gold."

Dear Sri. Mohan Chittoor,

It is an interesting puzzle. 

The first प्रात:, has the expected meaning, "in the morning." and the other  प्रात:, is derived from the धातु, namely, "प्रा" as follows:

०२.००५६ (कौमुदीधातुः-१०६१) प्रा प्रा पूरणे अदादिः परस्मैपदी सकर्मकः अनिट् (to fill, to be satisfied, to be content) (भरना, तृप्त होना)

प्रातः ✓प्रा , कर्तरि लट्लकारः (परस्मैपदम्), प्रथमपुरुषः , द्विवचनम्

Thus, the meaning of the sloka will be:

"Having got up in the morning, the two sages fill their two water pots."

Namaste,

Subrahmanyam Srinivasan

प्रा पूरणे अदादिगणस्य धातोः प्रथमपुरुषे द्विवचनम् 

द्वौ मुनी कुम्भं जलेन पूरयतः
