This work deals with words formed by adding the U¸¡di suffixes as
stated in Paninian grammar. It is believed in the Paninian tradition that
there are two versions of the U¸¡di sutra listing.; a larger version with
ten quarters (da¿ap¡d¢) and a shorter one (paμcap¡d¢) with five quarters.
The first rule of paμcap¡d¢ version introduces the affix u¸. These affixes
occur variously after verbal roots when action is denoted at the current
time. The present work deals with these forms in detail. The format of
the entries is as follows - 1 the word that is formed by adding the U¸¡di
pratyaya, 2 its gender 3 the rule ordaining the suffix 4 rule number in
Astadhyayi 5 the (name of) U¸¡di suffix 6 the verbal root (to which it
is added) 7 its ga¸a 8 the Sanskrit explanation, i.e. v¤tti 9 the meaning
of the word 10 meaning of the word in English 11 in Hindi 12 in Telugu
13 the different meanings of the word in Sanskrit 14 meaning of the
word in English, Hindi and Telugu 15 special note, where required. The dictionary is accompanied
by five indices. It is hoped that the work will be of great use for Students, Scholars and Researchers.
