 yád [ yad ]

( nom. and acc. sg. n. and base in comp. of 3. ya ), who, which, what, whichever, whatever, that, RV. etc. ( with correlatives tad, tyad, etad, idam, adas, tad etad, etad tyad, idaṃ tad, tad idam, tādṛśa , īdṛśa, īdṛś, etāvad, by which it is oftener followed than preceded

or the correl. is dropped, e.g. yas tu nâ`rabhate karma kṣipram bhavati nirdravyaḥ, ' [he] indeed who does not begin work soon becomes poor, ' R.

or the rel. is dropped, e.g. andhakam bhartāraṃ na tyajet sā mahā-satī, ' she who does not desert a blind husband is a very faithful wife ' cf. Vet. yad is often repeated to express ' whoever ', ' whatever ', ' whichever ', e.g. yo yaḥ, ' whatever man '

yā yā, ' whatever woman

yo yaj jayati tasya tat, ' whatever he wins in war belongs to him ' cf. Mn. vii, 96

yad yad vadati tad tad bhavati, ' whatever he says is true ' , or the two relatives may be separated by hi, and are followed by the doubled or single correl. tad e.g. upyate yad dhi yad bījam tat tad eva prarohati, ' whatever seed is sown, that even comes forth ' cf. Mn. ix, 40

similar indefinite meanings are expressed by the relative joined with tad e.g. yasmai tasmai, ' to any one whatever ', esp. in yadvā tadvā, ' anything whatever '

or by yaḥ with kaśca, kaścana, kaścit, or [ in later language, not in Manu ] ko'pi e.g. yaḥ kaścit, ' whosoever '

yāni kāni ca mitrāṇi, ' any friends whatsoever '

yena kenâpy upâyena, ' by any means whatsoever. ' yad is joined with tvad to express generalisation, e.g. śūdrāṃs tvad yāṃs tvad, ' either the Śūdras or anybody else ' cf. ŚBr.

or immediately followed by a pers. pron. on which it lays emphasis, e.g. yo 'ham, ' I that very person who '

yas tvaṃ kathaṃ vettha, ' how do you know ? ' cf. ŚBr.

it is also used in the sense of ' si quis ', e.g. striyaṃ spṛśed yaḥ, ' should any one touch a woman. ' yad is also used without the copula, e.g. andho jaḍaḥ pīṭha sarpī saptatyā sthaviraśca yaḥ, ' a blind man, an idiot, a cripple, and a man seventy years old ' cf. Mn. viii, 394

sometimes there is a change of construction in such cases, e.g. ye ca mānuṣāḥ for mānuṣāṃś-ca cf. Mn. x, 86

the nom. sg. n. yad is then often used without regard to gender or number and may be translated by ' as regards ', ' as for ' , e.g. kṣatraṃ vā etad vanaspatīnāṃ yan nyag-rodhaḥ, ' as for the Nyag-rodha, it is certainly the prince among trees ' cf. AitBr.

or by ' that is to say ', ' to wit ', e.g. tato devā etaṃ vajraṃ dadṛśur yad apaḥ, ' the gods then saw this thunderbolt, to wit, the water ' cf. ŚBr. yad as an adv. conjunction generally = ' that ', esp. after verbs of saying, thinking etc., often introducing an oratio directa with or without iti

iti yad, at the end of a sentence = ' thinking that ', ' under the impression that ', e.g. cf. Ratnâv. ii, 2/8. yad also = ' so that ', ' in order that ', ' wherefore ', ' whence ', ' as ' , ' in as much as ', ' since ', ' because ' [ the correlative being tad, ' therefore ' ], ' when ', ' if ' cf. RV. etc.
