Though eṣa may be styled the emphatic ayam, both pronouns are sometimes used almost promiscuously. Mhbh. 1, sarga 154 Kuntî asks Hiḍimbâ, who she is: »are you a deity of this forest?” asya vanasya devatā, Hiḍimbâ answers yad etat paśyasi vanam etc. In the second act of the Vikramorvaçî the king offering a seat to Citralekhâ says etad āsanam āsyatām, in the first act of the Mudrarâxasa Câṇakya to Candanadâsa idam āsanam āsyatām.
