Journal Article
On the Distribution, Use and Meaning of the Dhātu√vṛt in the Mokṣadharmaparvan and the Śāntiparvan of the Mahābhārata
2017
Overview
Given the importance of
pravṛtti
and
nivṛtti
as shaping ideologies in the
Mahābhārata
and a host of other Indic texts, a study of the occurrence of the uses of
√vṛt
in the widest possible sense is a desideratum for an understanding of both the
Mahābhārata
and its
Mokṣadharmaparvan
. The present contribution discusses concentrations of occurrences of
√vṛt
-words in particular passages and considers whether these are associated with the communication of specific doctrines. Both nominal and verbal forms of
√vṛt
, prefixed and unprefixed, are studied, with special attention being paid to the objects which they take; in particular, the grammatical cases used with the present participle
vartamāṇa
, are surveyed. It is concluded that
√vṛt
conveys the sense of “of operating or functioning in a particular state,” especially when used with a noun in the locative, thus differing from other verbs such as
√as, √bhū
and
√gam
. In addition, the greater frequency of
√vṛt
prefixed by
pra-
and
ni-
, as opposed to other prefixes, is noted, indicating how significant
pravṛtti
and
nivṛtti
had become as ideologies in our text.
