O sage, listen attentively as the intricate wisdom of the roots and their classifications is unfolded, as taught to Nārada. The terms 'Charioteer', 'not a charioteer', and those beginning with 'nasat', as well as 'amnarbhuva', 'ratha', and similar expressions, are all carefully considered in this tradition. So too are the expressions 'having given', 'having possessed', 'having one's own', 'with sons', and 'praised by men'. From the fourfold abundance, both activity and inactivity arise, demonstrating the interplay of action and rest within the universe. The roots that begin with 'bhū' are to be known as belonging to the parasmaipada voice, as is remembered by tradition. Furthermore, the roots beginning with 'at', along with thirty-eight others, are also classified as parasmaipada. There are fifty roots beginning with 'phak', all marked by the udātta accent. The roots starting with 'gup', forty-two in number, are said to carry the udātta accent as well. In the same way, twenty-seven roots beginning with 'aṇ' are also marked by the udātta accent. A group of seventy-two roots, starting with 'mavya' and 'mukhā', are similarly bound by the udātta accent. Meanwhile, the group beginning with 'kṣudhā', numbering fifty-two, are recited as anudātta. Another group, beginning with 'dyutā', and numbering twenty-two, are also considered anudātta. After these, the group beginning with 'jvalad', numbering fifty-two, are marked as udātta. Verbs called anudātta are thus distinguished, while those beginning with 'bhā' and 'dyut' are from this point considered udātta. The groups beginning with 'sad' and 'āśraya' are likewise udātta, as are those beginning with 'kucād' and 'veda'. A special group of four, beginning with 'svarit', 'icch', and 'bhṛñ', are considered to have the svarita accent. Those roots beginning with 'aṣṭādaśa' are classified as ātmanepada. The roots beginning with 'hṛ' are parasmaipada, while the three roots 'gup', 'ā', and 'tra' may be used in both voices. Fifteen roots, beginning with 'skaṃbh', are also considered parasmaipada. The group beginning with 'pac', marked as svarita, are also in the parasmaipada. The group starting with 'bhū', and others, numbering one thousand and six, are all considered roots. Among them, the group beginning with 'dviṣ', four in number, are roots with the svarita accent. The group beginning with 'ir', thirteen in number, are anudātta roots. Seven roots beginning with 'ṣu' are declared to be parasmaipada, and three roots beginning with 'ghu' are likewise enumerated as parasmaipada. The single root 'ṣṭuñ' is well known among grammarians, O Nārada, while the root 'iṅ' is declared to be exclusively ātmanepada. The root 'ñiṣ', meaning 'to sleep', is also parasmaipada. The roots dī, dhī, ve, and hve are considered to be in the ātmanepada, according to the tradition. The root hnu, when used with the anudātta accent, is said to be carkarīta, O best of sages. The roots beginning with dā are regarded as parasmaipada in the Vedas. The roots mā, hā, and dva, when in the anudātta accent, are considered svarita in the dāna group of roots. In the same manner, twelve roots beginning with ghṛ are regarded as parasmaipada. Twenty-five roots beginning with div are declared to be parasmaipada, while the seven roots beginning with pū are considered to be ātmanepada. The roots beginning with syati are classified as parasmaipada. Five roots beginning with mṛṣ are mentioned as svarita. The root rādhu is karmaka, as are those beginning with svādi and curādi in the vṛddhi class. Eight roots beginning with radh are enumerated as parasmaipada, and four hundred roots are considered in the div group. Finally, the seven roots beginning with dunoti are parasmaipada, O sage. Thus, the tradition of roots and their classifications, with their accents and voices, is laid out for the wise to contemplate, as preserved by the great grammarians.
