Synopsis

The present book is a comprehensive and detailed study of the semantics of verbs in Sanskrit as presented by Patanjali in his commentary Mahabhasya on Astadhyayi 1.3.1 bhuvadayo dhatavah. This portion of his commentary contains a skillfully arranged discussion of topics related to the linguistic units known as verbal roots, or dhatu. A verbal root is the core of the derivation of any utterance in Panini's grammar.
