The Dhatu-Patha- literally 'a recital of roots'- is a basic Sanskrit text which sets out the foundations of the verbal systems of Greek and Latin and all other Indo-European languages. It contains about 2,200 roots. This edition is complete in itself, with its own dictionary of meanings and transliterations.
