grāmaṁ parito dāsau aśvān nayataḥ

 

ग्रामं परिवदासौ अश्वान् नयतः

The phrase "grāmaṁ parito dāsau aśvān nayataḥ" can be analyzed as follows:

• grāmaṁ – accusative singular of grāma (village, settlement), meaning “the village.”
• parito – ablative or instrumental singular of paritaḥ (around, surrounding, or encircling), contextually “around the village.”
• dāsau – nominative plural of dāsa (servants, attendants, slaves), here referring to the agents.
• aśvān – accusative plural of aśva (horse), meaning “horses.”
• nayataḥ – past tense, third person plural of nayati (to lead, guide, or drive), meaning “they led” or “they drove.”

Putting it together in a coherent translation:

“The servants drove the horses around the village.”

This reflects a straightforward Vedic or classical Sanskrit construction, where the verb nāyati governs the accusative object (aśvān) and the instrumental or circumstantial phrase (parito grāmaṁ) specifies direction or location.
