Vedic literature, written in the oldest Indian language of Sanskrit, contains a particular grammatical expression of the idám bhū construction. Nominative subject and neutral singular noun idám [nominative/accusative] structure this construction, and it uses the verb as/bhū [be/become], which is ordinarily used as a copula. In the instances of gender, number, and case, there are a few differences between nominative subject and idám. Furthermore, idám and such subjects could not have the same meaning. Hence, researchers distinguish idám bhū construction from general predicative expression (X is Y). In preceding studies, it has been clarified that the primary meaning of idám bhū construction is “subject[X] exists or comes to exist, by being featured by idám”, and idám is not used as predicative nominative noun nor adverb, but used as Inhaltsakksativ is the accusative which represents meanings of verbs. Frequently, some neutral singular words which relate to laws or social systems, can adapt to idám bhū. However, there remain many questions on the functions of each neutral singular word in idám bhū, and the meaning held by idám bhū with each word. The Vedic word mitrá-, which means alliance or treaty, is also be used as“idám” in idám bhū. Certain examples of this usage were already present in Vedic literature. Therefore, the author sheds light on the construction of Vedic literature’s idám bhū, accompanied by mitrá-, mitrám as/bhū, by gathering all 15 examples. In conclusion, the author discovered the use of mitrá- as Inhaltsakksativ in all examples. Subsequent research shows that, mitrám as/bhū specifically implies that subject [X] allies or comes to ally with object [Y] expressed in the genitive case. In addition, research clarified that the alliance represented by mitrá- mainly implies that, allies will not injure each other.
