Quoting "Deshpande, Madhav" <mmdesh at UMICH.EDU>:

>      'pazya' and 'dRz' have a suppletive relationship in Sanskrit
> like'go' and 'went' in English.  Both 'pazya' and 'dRz' taken
> separately have incomplete paradigms, but in the actual usage of

> passive form corresponding to pazyati is dRzyate, and so on.  The

> na zRNoty enAm exhibits this suppletive behavior.
