WHO , pron. (Relat.)
यः या यद्, यौm. du., येf.n.du., येm.pl., यःf.pl., यानिn.pl. The relative pronoun is not much used in Sanskrit excepting at the beginning of a sentence; as,
‘he who desires great riches is not wise,’ यो बहुधनम्आकांक्षति स बुद्धिहीनः. In other cases it is more usually expressed by स च or is inherent in a compound word or indecl. part.; thus,
‘in that city there dwelt a king who was beloved by his subjects,’ तस्मिन् नगरे वसति राजा स चप्रजावल्लभः;
‘a saint who has subdued his organs of sense,’ जितेन्द्रियो मुनिः;
‘by all the birds who had assembled,’ सर्व्वैःपक्षिभिर् मिलित्वा. — (Interrog.) कः का किं, कौm. du., केf.n.du., केm.pl., काःf.pl., कानिn.pl.;
‘who are you?’ कस् त्वं;
‘who's there,’ कोऽत्र.
