II. If the sentence introduced by yāvat is expressive of an action, subsequent in time to that expressed by the main sentence, two cases are possible:

yāvat = until.

a.) yāvat = till what time, until.

yāvat until is generally construed with the liṅ or with its equivalent, the present (468). Then it expresses the intention, but when stating a fact, past tenses are admissible (cp. 471).

Examples: 1. with liṅ. Daç. 156 saiṣā bhavad danujatar ucchāyāyām akhaṇḍitacāritrā tāvad adhyāstāṃ yāvad asyāḥ pāṇigrāhakamānayeyam (therefore you must protect her, until I bring her husband here), Mudr. V, p. 167 tāḍyatāṃ tāvad adyāvatsarvamanena kathitaṃ bhavet (let him be beaten until he has confessed the whole); 2. with the present. Panc. 276 yāvad ahaṃ bhojanaṃ gṛhītvā samāgacchāmi tāvad atra tvayā syātavyam (you must stay here, until I return with food), ibid. 286 tāvat tvayaitau yatnena rakṣaṇīyau yāvad aham aparāmuṣṭrīṃ nītvā samāgacchāmi; 3. with the future. Daç. 72 pratīkṣasva kānicid dināni yāvad iyaṃ sukumārī… prakṛtāveva sthāsyati; — 4. with past tense, stating a fact. Kathâs. 4, 58 so ‘pi purohitaḥ] tāvac ceṭikābhir vimohitaḥ / yāvat tṛtīye prahare daṇḍādhipatir āgamat (the maid-servants beguiled the priest, until at the third prahara the judge came).

476. 承前

II. yāvatで導かれる文が、主文によって表現された時間に続いて起こる行為を表現する場合、2つの場合がありうる：

○「…まで」（until）を表すyāvat

a.) 「…の時まで」「…まで」を表すyāvat
yāvat（「…まで」）は、ふつうOpt.（liṅ）やその等価物たるPres.と文法的に結びつく（468）。そして目的を表すが、事実について述べられている場合には、過去時制が認められる（cp. cp. 471）。
