Nirukta, Phonetic Variants, and Vedic Dhātu–Svara Taxonomy
स्वरितेतस्त्रयश्चैतौ वदवची परिभाषिणौ । भ्वाद्या एते षडधिकं सहस्रं धातवो मताः ॥ ३५ ॥
svaritetastrayaścaitau vadavacī paribhāṣiṇau | bhvādyā ete ṣaḍadhikaṃ sahasraṃ dhātavo matāḥ || 35 ||
Estes três—Svara, Ita e Svarita—são tidos como designações técnicas (paribhāṣā) na convenção gramatical. A partir da classe Bhvādi, sustenta-se que os dhātu (raízes verbais) são pouco mais de seis mil.
Narada (in dialogue framed around śāstra-knowledge; traditionally taught to/through the Sanatkumāra lineage)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: adbhuta
It emphasizes disciplined śāstra-learning—especially correct linguistic and grammatical understanding—as a supportive limb for clarity of recitation, study, and ultimately steadiness on the mokṣa-oriented path.
Indirectly: by highlighting correct technical knowledge (accent and grammar), it safeguards accurate transmission of mantras and scriptural meanings, which strengthens sincere and error-free devotional practice.
Vedāṅga Śikṣā (accent—especially svarita) and Vedāṅga Vyākaraṇa (paribhāṣā-terms and the classification/numbering of dhātus beginning with the Bhvādi gaṇa).
