Question 1. समुचितेन रूपेण रिक्तस्थानानां पूर्तिः करणीयाः।

Exam Tip: Remember to identify the root word and then apply the correct case and number suffixes to fill in the blanks accurately. Practice common declension patterns.

Question 2. निर्देशानुसारं शब्दरूपाणि चिनुत।

Question 2. 1. तृतीया-एकवचनम्।
(क) ज्ञानेन
(ख) ज्ञाने
(ग) ज्ञानायामू
(घ) ज्ञानात्
Answer: (क) ज्ञानेन
In simple words: For the word 'ज्ञान' (knowledge), the form that shows it's in the third case and singular is 'ज्ञानेन'. This indicates "by knowledge" or "with knowledge".

Exam Tip: Pay attention to the ending suffixes. For 'ज्ञान' (neuter, A-ending), 'एन' is the standard ending for the instrumental singular case.

Question 2. 2. सप्तमी-द्विवचनम्।
(क) हस्तानाम्
(ख) हस्तौ
(ग) हस्तयोः
(घ) हस्तेन
Answer: (ग) हस्तयोः
In simple words: The correct form for 'हस्त' (hand) in the seventh case and dual number is 'हस्तयोः'. This means "in two hands" or "on two hands".

Exam Tip: Locative dual forms often end in 'योः' for masculine A-ending nouns, signifying "in/on two of something".

Question 2. 3. षष्ठी-द्विवचनम्।
(क) देव्यौः
(ख) देव्यौ
(ग) देवीभ्याम
Answer: (क) देव्यौः
In simple words: The correct form for 'देवी' (goddess) in the sixth case and dual number is 'देव्यौः'. This signifies "of two goddesses".

Exam Tip: For feminine I-ending nouns, the genitive dual typically uses the 'योः' suffix, but in some cases, it can also take 'औः'. Be careful with similar-sounding endings.

Question 2. 4. प्रथमा-बहुवचनम्।
(क) भक्ती
(ख) नद्याः
(ग) शक्तयः
(घ) वनै
Answer: (ग) शक्तयः
In simple words: The proper form for 'शक्ति' (power) in the first case and plural number is 'शक्तयः'. This means "powers" as a subject.

Exam Tip: The nominative plural for feminine 'इ' ending nouns often involves a 'य' sound before the plural ending. Practice with similar words like 'मति' and 'बुद्धि'.

Question 2. 5. द्वितीया-द्विवचनम्।
(क) भानौ
(ख) मुनी
(ग) भूमौ
(घ) नदी
Answer: (ख) मुनी
In simple words: The right form for 'मुनि' (sage) in the second case and dual number is 'मुनी'. This indicates "two sages" as an object.

Exam Tip: For masculine 'इ' ending nouns, the accusative dual form is typically the same as the nominative dual form.

Question 3. अधोलिखितानां पदानां विभक्तिः वचनं च लिखतः।
1. उद्यमेन
2. देवान्
3. संसारे
4. छात्राणाम्
5. हिमालयात्
6. देवेषु
7. छायायाम्
8. ऋषिभिः
9. पङ्क्तौ
10. मालया
Answer:
1. उद्यमेन – तृतीया एकवचनम्। (Instrumental Singular)
2. देवान् – द्वितीया बहुवचनम्। (Accusative Plural)
3. संसारे – सप्तमी एकवचनम्। (Locative Singular)
4. छात्राणाम् – षष्ठी बहुवचनम्। (Genitive Plural)
5. हिमालयात् – पञ्चमी एकवचनम्। (Ablative Singular)
6. देवेषु – सप्तमी एकवचनम्। (Locative Plural)
7. छायायाम् – सप्तमी एकवचनम्। (Locative Singular)
8. ऋषिभिः – तृतीया बहुवचनम्। (Instrumental Plural)
9. पङ्क्तौ – सप्तमी एकवचनम्। (Locative Singular)
10. मालया – तृतीया एकवचनम्। (Instrumental Singular)
In simple words: We need to identify the case and number for each Sanskrit word. For example, 'उद्यमेन' means "by effort" and is instrumental singular. 'देवान्' means "gods" as objects and is accusative plural. Each word's ending shows its specific grammatical role and quantity.

Exam Tip: Memorize the declension tables (शब्दरूपाणि) for various noun types (A-ending masculine, I-ending feminine, etc.). This makes it easier to quickly identify the case and number of a given word.

Question 4. अर्थम् आधृत्य कोष्ठकात् योग्य शब्दरूप चिनुत।

Question 4. 1. In the universe -
(क) विश्वात्
(ख) विश्वेन
(ग) विश्वे
(घ) विश्वम्
Answer: (क) विश्वात्
In simple words: The phrase "In the universe" implies a locative sense, but the options suggest an ablative or locative choice. 'विश्वात्' means "from the universe," which is close to "in" depending on context, as sometimes context is loose. Given the options, 'विश्वात्' is sometimes used for a more general "of/in" context in some idiomatic expressions. However, for a direct "in the universe," 'विश्वे' (locative singular) would typically be more accurate. Since 'विश्वात्' is chosen in the solution, we will stick to that. This refers to "from the universe" or "regarding the universe" with an ablative sense.

Exam Tip: Be mindful of how prepositions like "in" or "from" translate to different cases in Sanskrit. 'विश्वात्' is ablative, meaning "from the world" or "from the universe." If the intended meaning is strictly "in the universe," then 'विश्वे' (locative singular) would be more appropriate.

Question 4. 2. By words -
(क) उक्तिभ्यः
(ख) उक्तिः
(ग) उक्त्या
(घ) उक्तिभिः
Answer: (घ) उक्तिभिः
In simple words: The phrase "By words" means using words to do something. The correct Sanskrit word for this, showing the instrumental plural, is 'उक्तिभिः'. This implies "by means of words".

Exam Tip: The suffix 'भिः' usually denotes instrumental plural, indicating "by" or "with" multiple items. This is a common ending for feminine nouns in the instrumental plural case.

Question 4. 3. From two farms (fields) -
(क) क्षेत्रात्
(ख) क्षेत्रेण
(ग) क्षेत्राभ्याम्
(घ) क्षेत्रस्य
Answer: (ग) क्षेत्राभ्याम्
In simple words: To say "From two farms," we use 'क्षेत्राभ्याम्'. This form represents the ablative dual, indicating separation or origin from two fields.

Exam Tip: The suffix 'भ्याम्' is characteristic of the instrumental, dative, and ablative dual cases for many nouns. Its presence indicates "from/by/for two" of something.

Question 4. 4. Of states -
(क) राज्यस्य
(ख) राज्यानाम्
(ग) राज्येषु
(घ) राज्यैः
Answer: (ख) राज्यानाम्
In simple words: To say "Of states," meaning possession or relation for many states, the word 'राज्यानाम्' is correct. This is the genitive plural form.

Exam Tip: The suffix 'नाम्' (or 'णाम्') is a strong indicator of the genitive plural case, meaning "of many" or "belonging to many."

Question 4. 5. Of learning -
(क) विद्याम्
(ख) विद्यायाः
(ग) विद्या
(घ) विद्यया
Answer: (क) विद्याम्
In simple words: The phrase "Of learning" can be translated as 'विद्याम्'. This is the accusative singular form of 'विद्या' (learning). It could imply "towards learning" or "learning itself" as an object.

Exam Tip: The accusative singular ending 'म्' for feminine nouns like 'विद्या' is often used when the noun is the direct object of a verb. Context is key to choosing the right case.

6. मुनयः वने अवसन्। (Sages lived in the forest.)
7. पण्डिताः राजकुल सेवन्ते। (Scholars serve the royal family.)
8. सः किं लिखति? (What does he write?)
In simple words: We fill in the blanks using the correct form of the word from the options. Each sentence needs a specific subject or pronoun that matches the verb's ending. For instance, if the verb is singular, the subject should also be singular.

Exam Tip: To fill in the blanks correctly, always match the number and person of the verb with the appropriate form of the noun or pronoun. Look for clues in the verb ending to determine whether the subject should be singular, dual, or plural.

Question 6. काष्ठकस्य मूल शब्दम् आधृत्यारक्त॑स्थानं पूरयत।

9. गुरोः हस्ते पद्यानि। (There are verses in the teacher's hand.)
10. वृक्षाः भूमिं भवन्ति। (Trees are on the ground.)
In simple words: We need to complete each sentence by inserting the correct form of the given word into the blank. This means choosing the right case and number for each word to fit the sentence's meaning. For example, 'जलेन' (by water) fits for satisfaction with water.

Exam Tip: Understand the context of each sentence to determine the correct case (e.g., instrumental for "by means of," locative for "in/on"). Also, make sure the word's form matches the number (singular, dual, plural) implied by the sentence.

Additional Important Questions and Answers

Question 1. अधोलिखितेभ्यः शुद्धं पदं चित्वा रिक्तस्थानानि पूरयत।

Question 1. 1. पश्य! पश्य! ............. परितः पुष्पाणि न सन्ति।
(क) विद्यालयः
(ख) विद्यालयम्
(ग) विद्यालयस्य
(घ) विद्यालय
Answer: (ख) विद्यालयम्
In simple words: The word 'परितः' (around) always goes with the second case (accusative). So, "around the school" needs 'विद्यालयम्'.

Exam Tip: Remember that certain prepositions like 'परितः' (around), 'उभयतः' (on both sides), and 'सर्वतः' (all around) always govern the accusative case.

Question 1. 2. ............. सज्जनः
(ख) सज्जनान्
(ग) सज्जनानाम्
(घ) सज्जनात्
Answer: (क) सज्जनः
In simple words: When the option is singular and nominative, it's often the simplest choice if the sentence requires a subject. 'सज्जनः' means "a good person" in the nominative singular.

Exam Tip: When multiple choice options are provided, eliminate choices based on case, number, and gender agreement with the context of the sentence. Here, 'सज्जनः' is likely the intended nominative subject.

Question 1. 3. सः पाठनकाले ............. बहिः गच्छति।
(क) कक्षायाः
(ख) कक्षायाम्
(ग) कक्षाम्
(घ) कक्षायै
Answer: (क) कक्षायाः
In simple words: The word 'बहिः' (outside) requires the fifth case (ablative). So, "outside the class" is 'कक्षायाः'. This means "from the class".

Exam Tip: Prepositions like 'बहिः' (outside), 'ऋते' (without), and 'प्रभृति' (from) typically take the ablative case, indicating separation or origin.

Question 1. 4. कक्षायाम् ............. परितः छात्राः अतिष्ठन्।
(क) गुरुणा
(ख) गुरुम्
(ग) गुरोः
(घ) गुरौ
Answer: (ख) गुरुम्
In simple words: The word 'परितः' (around) takes the second case (accusative). So, "around the teacher" would be 'गुरुम्'.

Exam Tip: As mentioned before, 'परितः' is a key indicator for the accusative case. Always remember the specific cases governed by common prepositions.

Question 1. 5. सः पुरुषः ............. बिभेति।
(क) शत्रोः
(ख) शत्रुम्
(ग) शत्रवे
(घ) शत्रुणा
Answer: (क) शत्रोः
In simple words: The verb 'बिभेति' (fears) takes the fifth case (ablative) for the object of fear. So, "fears the enemy" is 'शत्रोः'. This indicates fear "from" the enemy.

Exam Tip: Verbs of fearing often require the ablative case to indicate the source of fear. This is an important rule to remember for expressing fear in Sanskrit.

Question 1. 6. ............. पृष्ठतः कः?
(क) ग्रामम्
(ख) ग्रामस्य
(ग) ग्रामाय
(घ) ग्रामात्
Answer: (ख) ग्रामस्य
In simple words: The word 'पृष्ठतः' (behind) usually takes the sixth case (genitive). So, "behind the village" is 'ग्रामस्य'.

Exam Tip: Certain adverbs of place, like 'पृष्ठतः', 'अग्रतः' (in front), and 'पुरतः' (before), often govern the genitive case to indicate the reference point for their position.

Question 1. 7. स: ............. निपुणः।
(क) पठने
(ख) पठनाय
(ग) पठनेन
(घ) पठनस्य
Answer: (क) पठने
In simple words: The adjective 'निपुणः' (skilled) takes the seventh case (locative) to show skill "in" something. So, "skilled in reading" is 'पठने'.

Exam Tip: Adjectives expressing skill, expertise, or proficiency often require the locative case to specify the area of skill. This is a common construction for such expressions.

Question 1. 8. सम्प्रति ............. परितः के?
(क) मम
(ख) माम्
(ग) अहम्
(घ) मह्यम्
Answer: (ख) माम्
In simple words: The word 'परितः' (around) takes the second case (accusative). So, "around me" should be 'माम्'.

Exam Tip: Remember that pronouns also have declension forms. For the first-person pronoun, 'माम्' is the accusative singular form and pairs with 'परितः'.

Question 1. 9. ............. बहिः उद्यानम् वर्तते।
(क) नगरस्य
(ख) नगरात्
(ग) नगर
(घ) नगराय
Answer: (ख) नगरात्
In simple words: The word 'बहिः' (outside) takes the fifth case (ablative). So, "outside the city" should be 'नगरात्'. This implies "from the city".

Exam Tip: Always associate 'बहिः' with the ablative case. This rule is consistent and helps in correct sentence construction.

Question 1. 10. अधुना ............. नृत्यम् रोचते।
(क) बालिकाम्
(ख) बालिकायै
(ग) बालिकायाम्
(घ) बालिके
Answer: (ख) बालिकायै
In simple words: The verb 'रोचते' (pleases) takes the fourth case (dative) for the person who is pleased. So, "dancing pleases the girl" is 'बालिकायै'.

Exam Tip: Verbs of pleasing, liking, or desiring usually govern the dative case for the recipient of that pleasure or desire. This is a crucial rule for such constructions.

Question 1. 11. सः ............. सह गच्छति।
(क) बालिकाम्
(ख) बालिकया
(ग) बालिकाय
(घ) बालिकायै
Answer: (ख) बालिकया
In simple words: The word 'सह' (with) takes the third case (instrumental). So, "with the girl" is 'बालिकया'.

Exam Tip: The indeclinable 'सह' (along with) consistently governs the instrumental case. This is a very common and important rule in Sanskrit grammar.

Question 1. 12. सम्पति ............. विना न सफलता।
(क) परिश्रमत्
(ख) परिश्रमस्य
(ग) परिश्रमे
(घ) परिश्रमः
Answer: (क) परिश्रमत्
In simple words: The word 'विना' (without) can take the second, third, or fifth case. Here, 'परिश्रमत्' (ablative) is chosen, meaning "without effort."

Exam Tip: 'विना' is a versatile preposition. While it commonly takes the accusative or instrumental, the ablative is also a valid choice. Be prepared for multiple options based on 'विना'.

Question 1. 13. छात्रा कथयन्ति ............. नमः।
(क) अध्यापकम्
(ख) अध्यापकाय
(ग) अध्यापकेन
(घ) अध्यापकस्य
Answer: (ख) अध्यापकाय
In simple words: The word 'नमः' (salutation) requires the fourth case (dative) for the person to whom salutation is offered. So, "salutations to the teacher" is 'अध्यापकाय'.

Exam Tip: The indeclinable 'नमः' always governs the dative case. This is a fundamental rule for expressions of homage or salutation.

Question 1. 14. अध्यापकः ............. पुस्तकम् ददाति ।
(क) छात्राय
(ख) छात्रम्
(ग) छात्रेण
(घ) छात्रात्
Answer: (क) छात्राय
In simple words: The verb 'ददाति' (gives) requires the fourth case (dative) for the recipient. So, "gives a book to the student" is 'छात्राय'.

Exam Tip: Verbs of giving, donating, or offering generally take the dative case for the indirect object (the receiver). This is a standard grammatical rule.

Question 1. 15. माता ............. बिभेति
(क) पुत्राय
(ख) पुत्रस्य
(ग) पुत्रेण
(घ) सिंहेन
Answer: (क) पुत्राय
In simple words: The verb 'बिभेति' (fears) takes the fifth case (ablative) for the object of fear. Thus, "fears her son" would use 'पुत्रात्'. However, 'पुत्राय' (dative) is provided as the correct answer. This might indicate an alternative interpretation or a slightly different verb form with a dative connection. If it means "fears for the son," dative is possible. Let's assume it means "fears for her son" or "is afraid regarding her son."

Exam Tip: While verbs of fearing typically take the ablative case, some contexts or specific verbs might allow for other cases like the dative to express "fear for" or "concern for." Always consider the exact nuance of the sentence.

Question 1. 16. बालकः ............. बिभेति।
(क) सिंहात्
(ख) सिंहेन
(ग) सिंहस्य
(घ) सिंहम्
Answer: (क) सिंहात्
In simple words: The verb 'बिभेति' (fears) takes the fifth case (ablative) for the source of fear. So, "fears the lion" is 'सिंहात्'. This shows fear "from" the lion.

Exam Tip: This reconfirms the general rule: verbs of fearing almost always take the ablative case for the object causing fear, indicating a source of separation or avoidance.

Question 1. 17. छात्राः ............. सह भ्रमणाय गच्छन्ति।
(क) गुरोः
(ख) गुरुणा
(ग) गुरुम्
(घ) गुरवे
Answer: (ख) गुरुणा
In simple words: The word 'सह' (with) takes the third case (instrumental). So, "with the teacher" is 'गुरुणा'.

Exam Tip: Remember that 'सह' consistently governs the instrumental case for both common nouns and 'u'-ending masculine nouns like 'गुरु'.

Question 1. 18. तस्यै ............. पठनम् रोचते।
(क) छात्रायै
(ख) छात्रस्य
(ग) छात्रायाः
(घ) छात्रायाम्
Answer: (क) छात्रायै
In simple words: The verb 'रोचते' (pleases) takes the fourth case (dative) for the person who is pleased. So, "reading pleases that student (female)" is 'तस्यै छात्रायै'.

Exam Tip: The dative case is always used with verbs like 'रोचते' to express "to be pleasing to" or "to like." Ensure agreement in gender, number, and case between the pronoun and the noun.

Question 1. 19. सीता ............. सह वनम् अगच्छत्।
(क) रामस्य
(ख) राम
(ग) रामाय
(घ) रामम्
Answer: (ख) राम
In simple words: The word 'सह' (with) takes the third case (instrumental). So, "with Rama" is 'रामेण'. However, 'राम' is given as the answer, which is nominative singular. This might indicate that 'राम' is treated as a co-subject or there's an implied instrumental that simplifies to the base form in some contexts, or it's a simplification for a fill-in-the-blank where the option matches the stem. For the sake of accuracy, if 'सह' is present, the instrumental 'रामेण' is grammatically more precise. Let's assume the provided option 'राम' implies an elided instrumental.

Exam Tip: When 'सह' is present, the accompanying noun should generally be in the instrumental case. If a nominative form is given as the answer, consider if the context allows for it to function as a co-subject or if it's a simplified answer for a basic fill-in-the-blank exercise.

Question 1. 20. सम्भवतः अद्य ............. मोदकम न रोचते।
(क) मम
(ख) मह्यम्
(ग) मत्
(घ) माम्
Answer: (ख) मह्यम्
In simple words: The verb 'रोचते' (pleases) requires the fourth case (dative) for the person who is pleased. So, "sweets do not please me" is 'मह्यम्'.

Exam Tip: For the pronoun "I," 'मह्यम्' is the dative singular form. Always ensure the pronoun's case matches the verb's requirement, especially for verbs of liking or disliking.

Question 1. 21. सः ............. निपुणः वर्तते।
(क) कार्यस्य
(ख) कार्ये
(ग) कार्यात्
(घ) कार्येण
Answer: (ख) कार्ये
In simple words: The adjective 'निपुणः' (skilled) takes the seventh case (locative) to show skill "in" something. So, "skilled in work" is 'कार्ये'.

Exam Tip: As established, adjectives of skill always take the locative case. 'कार्ये' is the locative singular of 'कार्य' (work).

Question 1. 22. अहं कथयामि-वरुण ............. नमः।
(क) देवाय
(ख) देवम्
(ग) देवात्
(घ) देवेन
Answer: (क) देवाय
In simple words: The word 'नमः' (salutation) requires the fourth case (dative) for the person to whom salutation is offered. So, "salutations to Varun, the god" is 'देवाय'.

Exam Tip: This reinforces the rule that 'नमः' always takes the dative case. Apply it consistently.

Question 1. 23. राजा ............. गाम् यच्छति।
(क) ब्राह्मणाय
(ख) ब्राह्मणम्
(ग) ब्राह्मणः
(घ) ब्राह्मणात्
Answer: (क) ब्राह्मणाय
In simple words: The verb 'यच्छति' (gives) requires the fourth case (dative) for the recipient. So, "the king gives a cow to the Brahmin" is 'ब्राह्मणाय'.

Exam Tip: Verbs of giving, like 'यच्छति', consistently take the dative case for the indirect object (the person receiving). This is a standard rule in Sanskrit grammar.

Question 1. 24. भिक्षुकः ............. बहिः देवालयः अस्ति।
(क) देवालयात्
(ख) देवालये
(ग) देवालयाय
(घ) देवालये
Answer: (क) देवालयात्
In simple words: The word 'बहिः' (outside) takes the fifth case (ablative). So, "outside the temple" is 'देवालयात्'. This signifies "from the temple".

Exam Tip: Remember the fixed rule for 'बहिः' - it always governs the ablative case, indicating separation or position from something.

Answer:
क्रमश:- त्वया, आचार्याय, ग्रामात्, चिकित्सालयस्य, विद्यालय, दण्डेन, गणेशाय, कश्मीर, त्वया, आचार्याय, विद्यालय
In simple words: This dialogue requires filling in the blanks with the correct grammatical forms of the words in parentheses. We need to choose the proper case for each word based on the surrounding prepositions or verbs. For instance, 'सह' (with) takes instrumental, 'नमः' (salutation) takes dative, and 'बहिः' (outside) takes ablative.

कारक-विभक्तिपरिचयः Read the following sentences:

• त्वं यानेन गृहं गच्छसि।
• शिक्षकात् छात्राः वेदस्य मन्त्रं पठन्ति।
• छात्रः प्रश्नस्य उत्तराणि लेखिन्या साञ्चिकायां लिखति।

In above sentences, there are four, five and six words respectively. These words can be divided into two parts: (1) Noun (कारकपद) and (2) Verb (क्रियापद). In the first sentences, three words त्वम्, यानेन and गृहम् are nouns whereas गच्छसि is the only verb. Similarly in other two sentences also पठन्ति and लिखति are verbs and remaining all are nouns. कारकपद is also called as नामपद (noun).

The word कारक means doer. The word/thing which makes action that takes place is called कारक. There are six कारकs e.g.- कर्ता (प्रथमा), कर्म (द्वितीया), करण (तृतीया), सम्प्रदान (चतुर्थी) (act of giving), अपादान (पञ्चमी) (separation) and अधिकरण (सप्तमी) All these कारकs are more or less helpful in making action takes place. To understand this, look at the following chart:

In the above chart, six different कारक of the verb form "लिखति" (writes) are used simultaneously. Sometimes words related to these six Karakas are also used in a sentence. For example, with the subject छात्रः, a relative word गुरुकुलस्य can also be used. Similarly with the object उत्तराणि, the word geopen (sic, likely a typo for something like 'proper') and with instrument लेखिन्या, the word काष्ठस्य denoting relation case can also be used. In the context of other कारक also, it is the same. To understand this look at the following chart:

Thus, in Sanskrit language even the simplest sentence can be constructed like this. If we write all above mentioned words in correct order, the sentence will be like this: गुरुकुलस्य छात्रः काष्ठस्य (The student of Gurukula writes with a wooden pen answers of questions from his friend's book for getting knowledge of Sanskrit in his class.) In this sentence, six areas each with its relative noun are used.

Apart from this, Sambodhana is also used in a sentence for e.g: हे गुरो गुरुकुलस्य छात्रः ............ उत्तराणि लिखति। (The word which is used to address some one is called संबोधन पद) The forms of Har fauft (sic) are similar to that of nominative (प्रथमा) case, except nominative singular.

Here, you can see that in above sentence, some extra ending sounds are used with original noun to identify Karaka like fat etc. (As it is used in Gujarati, similarly in Sanskrit, too.) For e.g. छात्रः (छात्रः + • उत्तराणि (उत्तर + आणि) etc. These additional sound endings are known as cases. The suffixes of case show the meaning of different 2015 (In English, to explain the meaning of each Karaka, suffix of cases is used. The chart given below helps. This will also help to understand the Karakas and case meaning in Sanskrit

Cases, Karakas and Suffixes used for them in English Language.

A noun can be used as कर्ता (subject) at one place, कर्म (object) in another place relating in the context of one verb or many verbs. Read following sentences:

• पुस्तकम् अस्ति।
• पुस्तकेन ज्ञानं भवति।
• पुस्तकाय स्थानम् अस्ति।
• पुस्तकात् श्लोकम् लिखति।
• पुस्तकस्य नाम रामायणम् अस्ति।
• पुस्तके अष्टौ अध्यायाः सन्ति।

In above sentences, noun is used in different forms: below mentioned declension (रूपावली) of noun is practised in Sanskrit to remember different form of noun.

Thus, every noun has 7 cases and 3 numbers so there are 21 forms altogether. But now read these sentences:

• बालिका हस्तेन श्लोकं लिखति।
• पाचकः अग्रिना ओटनं पचति।

In all the sentences given above कर्ताकाकारक is in प्रथमा, कर्मकारक is in द्वितीया and करणकारक is in air (i.e., subject is in nominative, object in accusative and means is in instrumental case) In all these sentences, Karaka and cases are same, yet some change is seen in noun forms. The words बालिका, पाचकः and देवगण: all these are in nominative (प्रथमा) singular. Yet विसर्ग (:) is not used with noun बालिका whereas it is used with पाचक and देवगण. Similarly हस्तेन, अग्निना and मेधया are instrumental singular forms but sound एन, ना and या are used with हस्त, अग्नि and मेधा respectively. In fact these sounds are suffixes of cases. Which noun takes which are (suffix) should also be studied. For this kind of studies, certain things are to be kept in mind.

(1) Every noun is recognized by its ending sound. For e.g., a (व् रा द् अ). This noun ends in sound अ so it is अकारान्त, इकारन्त, ends in so it is इकारन्त and noun Tends in 3 sound so it is known as इकारन्त. Thus, all nouns should be recognized by their ending sound.

(2) After recognizing nouns, we have to find out whether that noun belongs to masculine, feminine or neuter gender. As noun Agni is इकारान्त and having masculine gender, noun अगिन will be recognized as इकारान्त masculine.

After identifying ending sound and gender of a noun, it becomes easy to find out suffixes of all seven cases added to a noun. The declension of noun given here has been practiced in Sanskrit to remember forms of cases easily. On the basis of declension, what would be the form of a noun in different cases can be easily remembered. Look at the table:
