One,Two,Three They Gonna Run Back To Me...Climbing Over Mountains And A Sailing Over -Seas

Well..its not about Elle King's Ex's and Oh's here.

Its about another One,Two and Three which we might need to climb over mountains and sail over seas of knowledge for a deeper understanding...here goes..

1) प्रथमपुरुषः(prathamapuruSaH) 3rd person 

2)मध्यमपुरुषः(madhyamapuruSaH) 2nd person

3)उत्तमपुरुषः(uttamapuruSaH) 1st person.


पुरुषः (puruSaH) means Person.

प्रथम:(prathama) means First.

मध्यम:(madhyama) means Middle

उत्तम:(uttama) means Foremost.


प्रथमपुरुषः(prathamapuruSaH) 3rd person  Singular is सः(He) , सा (She)

But you might wonder why is the 3rd person called prathama(1st person) here.

Well this is where Sanskrit differs a little from English.

In Sanskrit He/She is called prathamapuruSaH (meaning first person though it denotes He/She) because the cultural concept of giving importance to another person more than self.
Therefore even though He/She is actually 3rd person but we give respect to the other person and call him/her 1st person.

Next ...मध्यमपुरुषः(madhyamapuruSaH) 2nd person singular is त्वम् (You)
Middle person here denotes 2nd person in between 1 and 3.


Last but not least...uttama villain! Sorry..I mean उत्तमपुरुषः(uttamapuruSaH) 1st person...अहम्(I)
