24.1. Dativ (चतुर्थी = "četvrti padež")

1. Da bi se izrazio cilj ili namera ("kako bi") radnje, umesto infinitiva (तुमुन्) može se koristiti i imenica sa kṛt sufiksom, koji označava radnju ili stanje, u dativu (चतुर्थी = "četvrti padež").

Primer:

umesto:

रामो गुरुवचनं श्रोतुं गतः ।

može se takođe reći:

रामो गुरुवचनस्य श्रवणाय गतः ।

ili:

रामो गुरुवचनश्रवणाय गतः ।

= "Rāma je otišao da čuje predavanje učitelja."


Slika: बाला गुरुश्रवणाय गताः
(Izvor slike: Detalji)

2. Dativ (चतुर्थी) može takođe označavati objekat infinitiva cilja koji treba dopuniti:

Primer:

फलेभ्यो ग्रामं गच्छति = "On ide u selo s ciljem voća = On ide u selo da donese voće."

Na isti način, dativ (चतुर्थी) označava cilj neke stvari ili radnje:

Primer:

यज्ञायान्नम् = "Hrana s ciljem žrtve = Hrana za žrtvu"


Slika: यज्ञायान्नम्
'Annakut' [अन्नकूट = गोवर्धन पूजा] je tradicionalni hinduistički događaj koji se održava na proslavama Hindu nove godine u svim BAPS [બોચાસનવાસી અક્ષ૨ પુરુષોત્તમ સ્વામિનારાયણ સંસ્થા = Bochasanwasi Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha] mandirima. Stotine vegetarijanskih jela se prinosi Bhagwan Swaminarayan [સ્વામિનારાયણ] tog dana.

3. The dative (चतुर्थी) also denotes the person or thing for which the object of an action is intended (indirect object; question: to whom?). (However, note the verbs with double accusative (द्वितीया)!)

Example:

रामाय फलं ददाति = "He gives Rāma a fruit." (Root दा, 3rd present class)


Fig.: बाला बालाय रक्षबन्धनं ददाति
Raksha bandhan is celebrated with fervour and joy all across India. This festival epitomizes the unconditional love between brothers and sisters.

4. The dative is used with certain verbs (and some other words) similar to German in response to the question "to whom?":

Examples:

क्रुध् : देवो नरेभ्यो क्रुध्यति = "The god is angry with the men."

अलम् Adverb: "enough, sufficient, equal": अलं योधो योधाय = "a warrior is the match of another warrior"


Fig.: अलं योधो योधाय
"Rama (right) seated on the shoulders of Hanuman, battles the demon-king Ravana." ca 1820
