Concept Of Relative Future In Sanskrit

Case 1:

Case 1A
saH AsIt -> 
"sah kim kurvan AsIt ?" -> "sah paThan AsIt" or "sah paThiShyan AsIt"
        paThan AsIt =           Odutta idda = "he was there (being) the one who (is)         reading" or simply "he was reading"
paThiShyan AsIt = OduvavanAgi idda = "he was there (beingthe one who (will be) reading" ?
conveys the meaning that he was there about to read in future.or with an intent to become the one who reads.

Case 1B
saH asti -> "sah kim kurvan asti ?" -> "sah paThan asti" or "sah paThiShyan asti"
        paThan asti =           Odutta iddAne = "he is there (being) the one who (is)         readingor simply "he is reading"
paThiShyan asti = OduvavanAgi iddAne = "he is there (being) the one who (will be) reading"

Case 1C
saH bhaviShyati -> "sah kim kurvan bhaviShyati?" -> "sah paThan bhaviShyati " or "sah paThiShyan bhaviShyati "
        paThan bhaviShyati =           Odutta iruttAne = "he will be there (being) the one who (is)         reading" or simply "he will be reading"
paThiShyan bhaviShyati = OduvavanAgi iruttAne = "he will be there (being) the one who (will be) reading

Here, paThiShyan is relative future to 'AsIt/asti/bhaviShyati'
