Dear list members,

 

1.

Coulson's book on Sanskrit says that the relative pronoun must agree with

its antecedent in number, gender and person.

 

Is it wrong to have a construction like this where the relative pronoun and

its antecedent don't agree in gender.

 

yAm mudrAm tad vastv Anaya | Bring that thing which is a coin.

 

2.

What would be the best way in Sanskrit to say something like: "Go to

Hastinapuri, a great city!"

Would you normally use a relative clause or an adjective phrase in

apposition?

 

Thanks,

Harry
