Benedictive
The benedictive mood is found in Sanskrit, although extremely rarely. It expresses a blessing or wish, such as found in the English expressions "long live the king" and "may the force be with you".

Essentially, the sibilant -s is inserted between the optative marker -yā and the personal endings. By the action of the rules of sandhi, the second- and third-person benedictive endings are identical to the corresponding optative endings.
Middle voice benedictives are not found in Classical Sanskrit.
For example, the verb root bhū forms the benedictive thus:
