Futures. Both futures, with the conditional, are made from the causative stem, with the auxiliary इ i, which takes the place of its final अ a. Thus: S-Futures.धारयिष्यामि dhārayiṣyā́mi etc. | धारयिष्ये dhārayiṣyé etc. | धारयिष्यन्त् dhārayiṣyánt | धारयिष्यमाण dhārayiṣyámāṇa | Conditional.अधारयिष्यम् ádhārayiṣyam etc. | अधारयिष्ये ádhārayiṣye etc. | Periphrastic Future.धारयितास्मि dhārayitā́smi etc. |
a. It has been mentioned above that RV. and AV. contain only two examples each of the s-future, and none of the periphrastic. The former begin to appear in the Brāhmaṇas more numerously, but still sparingly, with participles, and conditional (only adhārayiṣyat ÇB.; alāpayiṣyathās ChU.); of the latter, ÇB. affords two instances (pārayitā́smi andjanayitā́si). Examples of both formations are quotable from the later language (including the middle form darçayitāhev: 947 c).
