Is "lajjamAnena" an adv.? Quote
Jagat Posted March 28, 2002 Report Posted March 28, 2002 yathAjJApayati devaH is the standard response of a servant to a king's order. "As you command, O Lord." <hr> tatas tena siMha-vyAghrAdIn uttama-parijanAn prApya sRigAlAn avalokya lajjamAnena avajnayA dUrIkRitAH svajnAtayaH<hr> This sentence is confusing because it uses a passive construction. The subject of "prApya" and "avajJAya" is in the instrumental. sva-jJAtayaH tena lajjamAnena dUrIkRtAH | "When the jackal gained the association of such high class animals as the lions and tigers, he became ashamed of the other jackals and abandoned them with a flurry of insulting remarks." (slightly embellished). Quote
