Difference between Upapade Vibhaktis and Karaka Vibhaktis

[Guest guest]

Can anybody explain what is the difference between the two.

To explain this briefly, the kaaraka vibhakti refers to those cases

where the assignment of the case is determined by the

semantic-syntactic relationship of an item to the action signified

by a verb-root. Thus, for example, in the sentence devadatta.h

graamam gacchati, graama is the karma (object) of the verb

gacchati. On the other hand, the instances of upapada vibhakti

show those cases where the assignment of case is determined

by the co-occurrence of an item with another item. For example,

if one says graamam prati gacchati, the case assignment of

graamam is determined by its relation to prati, rather than to

gacchati. This distinction has further consequences for making

passives of these sentences. The passive of devadatta.h

graamam gacchati would come to be devadattena graamo

gamyate. On the other hand, the passive for devadatta.h

graamam prati gacchati would come to devadattena graamam

prati gamyate. Here, graamam prati functions almost like an

adverbial phrase. Be careful to distinguish the use of items like

prati as prepositions, versus their use as glued upasargas. If

they are glued to the verb-roots, they no longer function as

upapadas. Best
