Sanskrit verbs are found used in myriads of other meanings than in which their roots are enumerated in the root-index (dhātupathah wherein roots are enumerated). Some roots are even catalogued in multiple senses in the root-index. This brings about the assumption that they are enumerated in their popular meaning in the root-index and that they have multiple senses.
It is imperative to fix this issue to bring in clarity of understanding and to account for the verbal forms found used in fundamentally different senses, so that the language which is the medium of all communications in general and documentation of all the knowledge generated in particular, remains reliable. If ambiguity prevails, it ultimately would render the quintessence of documented literature ambivalent. Hence, this work proposes to examine different views on this subject and would settle on the multiple senses of the roots and prop up the indicative-ness of the prefixes.
