Exercise on compound verbs in  p:_-

              Choose the most plausible distribution of the forms in parentheses.  Give an explanation of your choices.  Translate.

Model 1.  v:h m:ØJ:ð Ap:n:ð s:aT: l:ðkr kz:ün: raðR ki Aaðr l:aòX  ________.           ( p:_i,  g:I )
    ==>    v:h m:ØJ:ð Ap:n:ð s:aT: l:ðkr kz:ün: raðR ki Aaðr l:aòX p:_i.   (from  c:aòraha  by  
g:Ø, d¶: )
     While  g:I  is not wrong here,  p:_i  is preferable because the subject  ( v:h )  does not return in a way that takes her away from the speaker.
               'Taking me with her, she returned in the direction of Curzon Road.'

Model 2.  a.  haú,  j:b: D:rm: ki b:at: Aa  _______ ,  t:að kaðI Vy:a khð.       ( p:_i,  g:I )  
                b.  Ok edn: n:y:i ev:p:e¶: Aa  _______ .                                       ( p:_i,  g:I )  

      ==>   2a. Aa g:I.           (from  g:aðdan: )
      ==>   2b. Aa p:_i.         (from  g:aðdan: )           [ Aa g:I  is also possible in 2b.  See example (17c).]

      2a: A form of vector  j:a  sounds better because the subject  ( D:rm: ki b:at: )  is not inauspicious.   2b: Here  p:_  fits because the subject  ( ev:p:e¶: )  is something whose arrival is not desirable. (But  j:a  can also be used.)

      2a. 'If it's a question of dharma,  the matter is settled.'

      2b. 'Then one day a new catastrophe arrived.'
