A partitive genitive is frequently employed in the elder literature, and had not yet entirely disappeared in the days of Pânini. But in classic Sanskrit such phrases as(he gives of the ambrosia), af aa (he desires of the butter) are out of use. In mantra, brâhmaṇa and upanishad it is often attending verbs of giving, begging, eating, drinking and the like ¹).
