Dear list members,

First happy holidays to everyone.

While looking at a stotra I came across  the form kṛṣīṣṭa which I was told, and as far as I can see, is a benedictive ātmanepada.  Both Whitney and Macdonell assert that the benedictine/precative ātmanepada doesn't exist in classical sanskrit. but on doing a quick internet search kṛṣīṣṭa  appears multiple times in the literature including in the Bhāgavata-purāṇa. 

1) Can someone confirm that kṛṣīṣṭa is a benedictive ātmanepada form.

2) Are there other benedictive ātmanepada forms in the classical literature?

The examples I found for are:

1) Bhāgavata-purāṇa 5.10.24

tan me bhavān nara-devābhimāna-

madena tucchīkṛta-sattamasya

kṛṣīṣṭa maitrī-dṛśam ārta-bandho

yathā tare sad-avadhyānam aṁhaḥ

2) mudira-madam udāram by Rupa Goswami

last line all verses

3)  śrīśivakeśādipādāntavarṇanastotram

rvyāmagnevātigaurastulitasurasaridvāripūraprasāraḥ ।

puṣṭāṃ tuṣṭiṃ kṛṣīṣṭa sphuṭamiha bhavatāmaṭṭahāso'ṣṭamūrteḥ ॥ 12॥

4) kanakadhārāstotram

5) lalitā-stava-ratnamālā verses 19 and 72
