The benedictive mood is found in Sanskrit, although extremely rarely. It expresses a blessing or wish, such as found in the English expressions "long live the king" and "may the force be with you". For verbs in the active voice (''parasmaipada''), it is formed by adding endings very similar to the athematic optative endings directly to the verb root itself. Essentially, the sibilant ''-s'' is inserted between the optative marker ''-yā'' and the personal endings. By the action of the rules of ''sandhi'', the second- and third-person benedictive endings are identical to the corresponding optative endings (''-yāst'' turns into ''-yāt'' for the third person, and ''-yāss'' into ''yās'' for the second person). Middle voice (''ātmanepada'') benedictives are not found in Classical Sanskrit. For example, the verb root ''bhū'' forms the benedictive thus: ==Bibliography== * ''Devavāṇīpraveśikā: An Introduction to the Sanskrit Language'' – Robert P.
