māraṇēṃ (मारणें).—v c (mṛ S) To kill. This sense, although the first etymologically or appropriately to the root mṛ, is, popularly, neither the first sense, nor scarcely ever the sense unless the verb be determined and fixed by conjunction in the ūna form with the verb ṭākaṇēṃ, or by construction with certain emphatic adverbs or with the noun jīva adverbially employed; e.g. mārūna ṭākaṇēṃ, ṭhāra māraṇēṃ, agadīṃ māraṇēṃ, niśśēṣa māraṇēṃ, jivānaśīṃ or jivānēṃ or jivēṃ māraṇēṃ 2 To beat, buffet, thump; to knock or hit; to strike in general whatever object with whatever instrument. 3 To overcome, vanquish, defeat. 4 To destroy the active qualities of, to kill (quicksilver, lead &c.) 5 To attack (houses, villages, travelers). 6 To rob or seize with assault (i. e. with killing or beating or personal violence). Ex. sōnēṃ māralēṃ, khajānā māralā, huṇḍī māralī. 7 To master, subdue, tame (affections, appetites, lusts). 8 To drive in (nails, pegs, stakes): to apply, fix, fasten, clap on (locks, rafters, fetters, anything whatever when smartness of action or firmness of fixture is implied). 9 māraṇēṃ is much used in the large or free sense of Do or Make; and conveys always an impression of force, promptitude, smartness, or briskness. Ex. ēvaḍhēṃ kāma māratōṃ āṇi yētōṃ. Involving this bold sense and expressed by māraṇēṃ are the applications:--to fire (a gun); to fight (a battle); to lay on (a sword, whip, cane); to dart or hurl (a missile); to strike (a sudden assault); to strike up (a run, a dance, a stretch, strain, spurt, any smart effort); to pitch (a tent); to chuck in or toss off (a sweetmeat, a morsel, a mouthful); to gulp, i. e. to embezzle (monies or goods); to earn smartly and cleverly, to make (profit in a business); as tyā vyāpārānta myāṃ dōnaśēṃ rupayē māralē; to utter sharply and loudly (a cry, call, shout, halloo); to make or do vehemently or eagerly (fun, frolic, freaks, extravagancies);--cala laukara hāta māra phaḍaśā karūna ṭāka. The above applications are not given as exhausting the sense and power of this verb. They are a few exemplifications only; for the cases in which māraṇēṃ is employed in construction with nouns to express a work or an action forcibly or smartly performed or done are, without any hyperbole, several hundred. māraṇēṃ thus is to be classed with ghālaṇēṃ, ṭākaṇēṃ, lāvaṇēṃ, pāḍaṇēṃ, hāṇaṇēṃ, ṭhōkaṇēṃ, and a few others, of the large use of all which wherever vehemence or vigor, activity or animation, are to be signified, notifications appear in every sheet of the dictionary. māraśīla (or jāḷaśīla &c.) tara puḍhēṃ jāśīla If you strike (me &c.) you will go farther (you will learn something beyond). A phrase of warning to one threatening to beat. mārāvā hattī luṭāvā bhaṇḍāra Away! do some great feat, some sounding exploit (I, demens, sævas curre per Alpes). Said to a driveling boaster.
