Question 2. Write the correct form from the two options given:
Answer:
(क) अम्ब! मम काचिद जिज्ञासा अस्ति।
(ख) प्रथम ब्रह्मणः आकाशस्य उत्पत्तिः अभवत्।

(घ) आहारात् कीटय: प्राणिन: उत्पन्ना: खलु अम्ब?
(ड) अहम् आधुनिक् रसायनशास्त्रम् उपनिषद्खग्रन्थान् च पठितवती।
(च) अस्माक् मौलिक् ज्ञान् तेषु एव निहितम् अस्ति।

Exam Tip: Pay careful attention to grammatical agreement - the form must match the gender, number, and case of the noun it modifies.

Question 3. Fill in the blanks showing the singular, dual, and plural forms:

Answer: The table above shows the correct declension patterns for each word across all three numbers. Each form follows the rules of Sanskrit grammar based on the noun's gender and class. For masculine nouns ending in consonants, the dual adds a specific suffix while the plural takes another. For feminine nouns ending in -आ or -ई, there are corresponding feminine markers attached to the base. Learning these declensions helps build a strong foundation in Sanskrit morphology.

Exam Tip: Memorize the common noun declension patterns - they repeat across similar word types, so mastering one masculine or feminine template unlocks many words at once.

Question 4. For the following statements, write interrogative sentences as shown in the example:
(क) माता आपणागत् गृहम् आगच्छति।
(ख) राजेश : विद्यालयात् पुस्तकम् आनयति।
(ग) विकास: महेशात् लेखनी स्वीकृतवान्।
(घ) माता गृहात् पुत्र पश्यति।
(ड) हिमालयात् गड्डा प्रवहति।

Answer:
(क) माता कस्मात् गृहम् आगच्छति? / माता कुत: गृहम् आगच्छति?
(ख) राजेश: कस्मात् पुस्तकम् आनयति? / राजेश: कुत: पुस्तकम् आनयति?
(ग) विकास: कस्मात् लेखनी स्वीकृतवान्? / विकास: कुत: लेखनी स्वीकृतवान्?
(घ) माता कस्मात् पुत्र पश्यति? / माता कुत: पुत्र पश्यति?
(ड) गड्डा कस्मात् प्रवहति? / गड्डा कुत: प्रवहति?

Exam Tip: When converting to interrogative form, replace the location or source word with the appropriate question word (कस्मात्, कुत:, कत्र) and add a question mark - the rest of the sentence structure stays the same.

Question 5. Study the crossword puzzle with the given word list and write all the Hindi equivalents and their meanings:

Across (बामतः दक्षिणम्):

Answer: The crossword puzzle integrates vocabulary from the chapter. Each word, when crossed with others, builds understanding of Sanskrit noun forms and their meanings. Work through the puzzle by matching the Hindi definitions with their Sanskrit equivalents, then fill in the grid systematically - start with the words you know with certainty, then use those letters to help identify crossing words. The completed puzzle reinforces retention of key terms used throughout the lesson.

Exam Tip: Crossword puzzles test both spelling accuracy and meaning recall - double-check letter counts match the grid spaces, and verify that crossing words make sense before finalizing your answers.

Question 6. Match the teacher (शिक्ष) with the teaching (आचार्य):

Answer:

Exam Tip: These teacher-student pairs are drawn from Indian mythology and history - recognize them by their famous associations and the type of knowledge each passed on (warfare, statecraft, spirituality, etc.).
