Source: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammar

Carkarīta (चर्करीत).—A term used by the ancient grammarians in connection with a secondary root in the sense of frequency; the term यङ्लुगन्त (yaṅluganta) is used by comparatively modern grammarians in the same sense. The चर्क-रीत (carka-rīta) roots are treated as roots of the adadi class or second conjugation and hence the general Vikarana अ (a) (शप् (śap)) is omitted after them.The word is based on the 3rd pers. sing form चर्करीति (carkarīti) from .the root कृ (kṛ) in the sense of frequency; e.g. चर्करीति, चर्कर्ति, बोभवीति बोभोति (carkarīti, carkarti, bobhavīti bobhoti); cf. चर्क-रीतं च (carka-rītaṃ ca) a gana-sutra in the gana named ’adadi’ given by Panini in connection with अदिप्रभृतिभ्य (adiprabhṛtibhya); शपः (śapaḥ) Pan. II.4.72; cf. also चर्करीतमिति यङ्लुकः प्राचां संज्ञा (carkarītamiti yaṅlukaḥ prācāṃ saṃjñā) Bhasa Vr. on P. II. 4.72, The word चेक्रीयित (cekrīyita) is similarly used for the frequentative when the sign of the frequentative viz. य (ya) (यङ् (yaṅ)) is not elided. See चेक्रीयित (cekrīyita).
