Dear Oliver,

In case it hasn't been mentioned yet, there is some relevant information in Bhaṭṭoji Dīkṣita on the Gajasūtra by S.L.P. Anjaneya Sharma and François Grimal, 2013. The introduction may be of particular interest. Another more elementary text that discusses the subcategories of the kārakas is the Prayogamukha/Vārarucasaṅgraha with the commentaries by Dharmakīrti and Nārāyaṇa. A short summary is also given in Bhoja's Śṛṅgāraprakāśa 2nd Prakāśa, p. 76 (ed. Raghavan).

All the Best,

Victor

Dear all,

this question probably has an obvious answer, but I don't find it:
Let's say we have a sentence like rAmo vanaM pravizati, where the acc.
vanam expresses the goal of a motion verb.

Are there any papers or any clues from the grammatical tradition that
could tell if the accusative vanam was "felt" like a real object in
actual language use (as the sun in "I see the sun"), or rather
considered as some kind of adverbial non-core argument to the verb?

Any hint is highly appreciated.

Best, Oliver
