the Dhatus of Bhagavad Gita

Suppose you are a Sanskrit learner and encounter any mantra or sūtra from the Vedas or Upaniṣads. You wish to understand its meaning, so you look for a translation. There are many, often slightly different, and you become confused. Then you want to understand it yourself, directly from Sanskrit.The ordinary way: You look for a word-by-word translation from Sanskrit into your language and learn the meaning.Now the smart way: The most important words in mantras and sūtras are often verbs (action words). In Sanskrit, actions can be described through verb roots, called dhātus (धातु) in Sanskrit, or verbal roots in English. There are around 2,000 dhātus. If you know them, you can understand almost any Sanskrit verb. Imagine these roots arranged by priority, based on frequency in Vedic Sanskrit literature. Learning them in that order can open a key to tens of thousands of mantras and sūtras.Now think specifically about understanding the Bhagavad Gītā yourself. For example, a single verbal root, √vac (√वच्), when properly explained, gives you access to 128 occurrences across 108 verses of the Bhagavad Gītā. Additionally, the 108 Names of the Bhagavad Gītā, with their meanings reveal different facets of the Gītā.This book is a systematic tool for understanding the 700 ślokas of the Bhagavad Gītā in original Sanskrit.The book is intended for Sanskrit students, scholars, and all who wish to go beyond translations and discover the wisdom of rich Sanskrit literature.
