* pasiidati always refer to a word in the locative case.

** Since this chapter introduces the locative case, pi.takasmi.m is used. However, the sentence can also be understood as "The hunter carries arrows using a basket", in which the instrumental case prevails. Then the Pali will be "Luddako pi.takena sare harati". For more examples, please see Exercise 3 (Translate into Pali/17), 4 (Translate into English/1) and 5 (Translate into English/11, Translate into Pali/8).
