Simple Sanskrit Lesson 14

Having studied how one verbal root

can yield various new -s, I think it is
time to complete all commonly used -s
for at least one most-used . As most-used ,
one which comes to mind is ( ). Note, what is
detailed in the parantheses here is and of the
, e.g. = , .
Actually the of a is also given a name
from that , which is considered to be foremost
(most representative) of the particular . Names
for -s by that consideration are
( + ) ( + )
( + ) ( + )
( + ) ( + )
( + ) ( + )
( + ) ( + )
Note,
= starting from. + = starting
from or with as the foremost.
Only for the third the name has the
inflection of the root verb in ,
-
 This may also provoke a deliberation
as to, why a particular is considered
as the foremost for a particular . But this
will get into the realm of grammarians logic.
That would be beyond the scope of Simple
Sanskrit,
Before detailing forms of ( ) in
commonly used -s, the ten -s are
(1) = = Present Tense
(2) = - = Past tense
(3) = -( )- = Aorist
Past tense
(4) = - = Past unseen by the
speaker
(5) = = Mood equivalent to
should in English
(6) = = Imperative Mood
(7) = = Benedictive Mood, as
in May God bless you !
(8) = -( )- = Future
Tense
(9) = = Future Tense not in
common use
(10) = = Future Tense not in
common use
Out of the ten -s, we have studied the
following four.
(1) = = Present Tense See Lesson
1 for Lesson 10 for -s
(2) = - = Past tense See
Lessons 9 and 10
(4) = - = Past unseen by the
speaker See Lessons 9 and 10
(6) = = Imperative Mood See Lesson
2 for Lesson 10 for -s
Three more as below shall now be
detailed
(5) = = Potential Mood equivalent
to should in English
(7) = = Benedictive Mood, as
in May God bless you !
(8) = -( )- = Future
Tense
Because is , its inflections are
tabulated as below

It can be seen that study of all inflections

of even one becomes quite an involving
study. A bookseller Mr. T. R. Krishnachar once spent
his time in compiling forms/inflections of a large
number (662) -s. It became a book with the title
! Recently the book has been re-
published by -, .
