Dhatupatha

The Dhatupatha (dhatupatha) is a lexicon of Sanskrit verbal roots subservient to the Ashtadhyayi grammar by Panini. It is organized by the ten present classes of Sanskrit, i.e. the roots are grouped by the form of their stem in the present tense.

1. bhūv-ādayaḥ (thematic presents)
2. ad-ādayaḥ (root presents)
3. ju-ho-ti-ādayaḥ (reduplicated presents)
4. div-ādayaḥ (ya thematic presents)
5. su-ādayaḥ (nu presents)
6. tuda--ādayaḥ (thematic presents)
7. rudh-ādayaḥ (n-infix presents)
8. tan--ādayaḥ (no presents)
