Few more sentences

स: मुनि: प्रातर् एव उत्तिष्ठति| That sage wakes up early in the morning.
स: प्रातर् उत्थाय किं करोति? What does he do waking up early?
स: प्रातर् उत्थाय तप: आचरति | After waking up, he does tapas.
Now let us look at these sentences in detail. The word पश्य means see, look. It is in imperative tense - आज्ञार्थक - लोट् लकार .
So how do you say "You read a book" in Sanskrit?
त्वं पुस्तकं पठ|
If you want to say "You are reading a book" - you use present tense.
त्वं पुस्तकं पठसि|
Look at another sentence in imperative tense.
You drink water and eat the fruit.

उत्तिष्ठ कमलाकान्त त्रैलोक्यं मङ्गलं कुरु|
which can be roughly translated as
