Phase 2: The Sanskrit Verbal Universe
सोपानम् ११: दश-गणाः & धातुपाठ-वर्गीकरणम् (The 10 Gaṇas & Stem Architecture)
Sopāna 11: How ~2,000 Roots in 10 Gaṇas collapse into Two Behavioral Streams — Adanta vs. Anadanta
१. दर्शनम् — The Canonical Root Catalog
"भूवादयो धातवः (१.३.१) — क्रिया-वाचिनो भ्वादयो धातु-संज्ञकाः स्युः"
bhūvādayo dhātavaḥ (1.3.1) — kriyā-vācino bhvādayo dhātu-saṃjñakāḥ syuḥ
Every verb in Sanskrit originates from the Dhātupāṭha (धातुपाठः) — an exhaustive inventory of ~2,000 verbal roots categorized into 10 Gaṇas (families).
Concept 1: The Verbal Equation
धातुः + विकरणः ➔ अङ्गम्
A root does not take verb endings directly. The Gaṇa dictates which Vikaraṇa-pratyaya (class infix) attaches to form the Aṅga (Stem).
Concept 2: Pt. Pushpa Dixit's Triad
धातुः + अर्थः ➔ लट् रूपम्
Rather than abstract formulas, every root is anchored by its 3-pillar chant: Root + Meaning ➔ Present 3rd-Singular Form (e.g. भू सत्तायाम् भवति).
