O wise Nārada, the ancient sages have meticulously classified the roots of words, each with its own accent and grammatical form. There exists a group of four roots, beginning with ‘dviṣ’ and others, that are considered the fundamental roots with the svarita accent. Another collection, starting with ‘ir’ and comprising thirteen roots, are recognized as anudātta roots. Among the roots, seven beginning with ‘ṣu’ are declared to be parasmaipada, while three starting with ‘ghu’ are also enumerated as parasmaipada. The single root ‘ṣṭuñ’ is renowned among grammarians for its unique place. The root ‘iṅ’, O Nārada, is known to be exclusively ātmanepada. The root ‘ñiṣ’, which means ‘to sleep’, is also counted as parasmaipada. Further, the roots ‘dī’, ‘dhī’, ‘ve’, and ‘hve’ are traditionally considered to be in the ātmanepada form. The root ‘hnu’, when spoken with the anudātta accent, is said to be carkarīta, a special designation, O best of sages. Roots beginning with ‘dā’ are regarded as parasmaipada in the Vedic tradition. The roots ‘mā’, ‘hā’, and ‘dva’, when in the anudātta accent, are considered svarita within the dāna group. Similarly, twelve roots beginning with ‘ghṛ’ are regarded as parasmaipada, and twenty-five roots starting with ‘div’ are also declared to be parasmaipada. The seven roots beginning with ‘pū’ are considered ātmanepada, while those beginning with ‘syati’ are regarded as parasmaipada. Five roots beginning with ‘mṛṣ’ are mentioned as svarita. Here, the root ‘rādhu’ is karmaka, along with those beginning with ‘svādi’ and ‘curādi’ in the vṛddhi class. Eight roots starting with ‘radh’ are enumerated as parasmaipada. Additionally, four hundred roots are included in the div group. The seven roots beginning with ‘dunoti’ are parasmaipada, O sage, and fourteen roots beginning with ‘tika’ are also classified as parasmaipada. The six roots beginning with ‘tud’ are said to be svarita, O best of sages. One hundred and five roots beginning with ‘vraśc’ are declared to be udātta. Four roots beginning with ‘ṇu’ are considered parasmaipada. The roots ‘pṛṅ’ and ‘mṛṅ’ are used in the ātmanepada form, while six roots beginning with ‘ri’ are in the parasmaipada. Sixteen roots called ‘pracchādi’ are all in the parasmaipada form, O sage. Likewise, roots beginning with ‘kṛti’ are considered parasmaipada. When the root ‘kṛti’ is spoken with the svarita accent, it is classified as parasmaipada, as are ‘rudha’ and ‘nandā’. Twenty-five roots beginning with ‘udātta’, ‘śiṣ’, ‘piṣ’, ‘rudh’, and others are so designated. In the forms of ‘manu’, ‘van’, and ‘ātman’, the root is spoken with the svarita accent and is thus called ‘kṛñ’. The seven roots beginning with ‘kya’ are both-sided in their forms, as are those starting with ‘sautra’ and ‘staṃbhvādika’. Twenty-two roots beginning with ‘kudhā’ are considered to have the udātta accent. Furthermore, parasmaipada roots are to be taken with the svarita accent. The roots beginning with ‘cur’ and ending with ‘ñy’ number one hundred and thirty-six. Those beginning with ‘carcā’ and ending with ‘ādhṛṣīya’, as well as those ending with ‘py’, are also enumerated. Ten roots beginning with ‘pad’ are declared to be in the ātmanepada form. In the sense of the root, from the base word, a variety of usages is recognized. Roots beginning with ‘citra’, related to both agent and instrument, are also included in the sense of the root. Sixteen roots beginning with ‘stoma’ are thus given, serving as an example of ‘andatasya’. All these roots are considered to belong to all groups, and likewise, they express multiple meanings. In this way, O Nārada, the roots and their forms are carefully preserved and transmitted, reflecting the profound wisdom of the ancient tradition.
