Kṛt (कृत्).—A class of post-verbal affixes other than the conjugational ones; primary affixes.

Source: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammar

Kṛt (कृत्).—lit. activity; a term used in the grammars of Pāṇini and others for affixes applied to roots to form verbal derivatives; cf. कृदतिङ् । धातोः (kṛdatiṅ | dhātoḥ) (३ ।१।९१ (3 |1|91)) इत्यधिकारे तिङ्कवर्जितः प्रत्ययः कृत् स्यात् । (ityadhikāre tiṅkavarjitaḥ pratyayaḥ kṛt syāt |) Kāś. on III.1.93, The kṛt affixes are given exhaustively by Pāṇini in Sūtras III.1.91 to III.4. I17. कृत् (kṛt) and तद्धित (taddhita) appear to be the ancient Pre-Pāṇinian terms used in the Nirukta and the Prātiśākhya works in the respective senses of root-born and noun-born words (कृदन्त (kṛdanta) and तद्धितान्त (taddhitānta) according to Pāṇini's terminology), and not in the sense of mere affixes; cf. सन्त्यल्पप्रयोगाः कृतोप्यैकपदिकाः (santyalpaprayogāḥ kṛtopyaikapadikāḥ) Nir. I.14: अथापि भाषिकेभ्यो धातुभ्यो नैगमाः कृतो भाष्यन्ते (athāpi bhāṣikebhyo dhātubhyo naigamāḥ kṛto bhāṣyante) Nir. II.2; तिङ्कृत्तद्धितसमासाः शब्दमयम् (tiṅkṛttaddhitasamāsāḥ śabdamayam) V.Pr. I.27; also cf. V.Pr. VI.4. Patañjali and later grammarians have used the word कृत् (kṛt) in the sense of कृदन्त (kṛdanta); cf. गतिकारकोपपदानां कृद्भिः सह समासवचनं प्राक् सुबुत्पत्तेः (gatikārakopapadānāṃ kṛdbhiḥ saha samāsavacanaṃ prāk subutpatteḥ) Pari Śek.Pari.75. The kṛt affixes are given by Pāṇini in the senses of the different Kārakas अपादान, संप्रदान, करण, आधकरण, कर्म (apādāna, saṃpradāna, karaṇa, ādhakaraṇa, karma) and कर्तृ (kartṛ), stating in general terms that if no other sense is assigned to a kṛt affix it should be understood that कर्ता (kartā) or the agent of the verbal activity is the sense; cf. कर्तरि कृत् । येष्वर्थनिर्देशो नास्ति तत्रेदमुपतिष्ठते (kartari kṛt | yeṣvarthanirdeśo nāsti tatredamupatiṣṭhate) Kāś. on III.4.67. The activity element possessed by the root lies generally dormant in the verbal derivative nouns; cf. कृदभिहितो भावो द्रव्यवद्भवति, क्रियावदपि । (kṛdabhihito bhāvo dravyavadbhavati, kriyāvadapi |) M.Bh.on V.4.19 and VI. 2.139
