" yad is joined with tvad to express generalization e.g. śūdrās tvad yās tvad , " either the śūdras or anybody else " S3Br. ; or immediately followed by a pers. pron. on which it lays emphasis e.g. yo 'ham , " I that very person who " ; yas tva katha vettha , " how do you know? " S3Br. ; it is also used in the sense of " si quis " e.g. striya spśed ya , " should any one touch a woman. " yad is also used without the copula e.g. andho jaaha sarpī saptatyā sthaviraśca ya , " a blind man , an idiot , a cripple , and a man seventy years old " Mn. viii , 394 ; sometimes there is a change of construction in such cases e.g. ye ca mānuā for mānuāś-ca Mn. x , 86 ; the nom. sg. n. yad is then often used without regard to gender or number and may be translated by " as regards " , " as for " , e.g. katra vā etad vanaspatīnā yan nyag-rodha , " as for the nyag-rodha , it is certainly the prince among trees " AitBr. ; or by " that is to say " , " to wit " e.g. tato devā eta vajra dadśur yad apa , " the gods then saw this thunderbolt , to wit , the water " S3Br. yad as an adv. conjunction generally = " that " , esp. after verbs of saying , thinking &c , often introducing an oratio directa with or without iti ; iti yad , at the end of a sentence = " thinking that " , " under the impression that " e.g. Ratna7v. ii , 2÷8. yad also = " so that " , " in order that " , " wherefore " , " whence " , " as " , " in as much as " , " since " , " because " [the correlative being tad , " therefore "] , " when " , " if " RV. &c ; ádha yád , " even if " , " although " RV. yad api id.
