When you begin studying Sanskrit grammar in school, the absolute first and most foundational verb you will ever memorize is the पठ् धातु (Path Dhatu).
In Sanskrit, 'Dhatu' means the root verb, and पठ् (Path) literally translates to 'to read' or 'to study'. You must strictly memorize its conjugation across the 5 main Tenses (Lakars).
Meaning: पठ् (Path) = पढ़ना (To Read / To Study).
Importance: It is the master template. If you memorize the Path Dhatu, you can easily write the tables for 100 other Sanskrit verbs like Likh (write) and Has (laugh) because the ending suffixes are exactly the same.
Structure: Every single Lakar table has exactly 9 words (3 Persons × 3 Numbers).
Used to describe an action happening exactly right now (e.g., He reads).
Used for actions that will happen in the future (e.g., He will read).
Used for actions perfectly completed in the past (e.g., He read).
Used strictly to give an aggressive order or request (e.g., Read this book!).
Used to give polite advice (e.g., He should read).
Path Dhatu (पठ् धातु) is the fundamental Sanskrit root verb that means 'to read' or 'to study'.
The Lat Lakar (Present Tense) is: पठति, पठतः, पठन्ति / पठसि, पठथः, पठथ / पठामि, पठावः, पठामः.
It is incredibly easy to identify! In Sanskrit, almost all verbs in the Lang Lakar (Past Tense) will always start with the letter 'अ' (A) at the absolute beginning, like अपठत् (Apathat).
