The Rigveda contains five occurrences of the 2nd sg. mid. śṛṇviṣé (accented once), a form of the fifth-class present (śṛṇóti) of the root śru ‘hear’ with the ending -iṣe, otherwise characteristic of the perfect. Whitney, Sanskrit grammar §699b, qualifies this form as ‘of anomalous and questionable character.‘ Oldenberg, Noten ad 4.42.7, and Renou, Gramm, de la langue véd. §319.1, attribute the creation of śṛṇviṣé to influence of the perfect.
