Source: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammarKtavatu (क्तवतु).—Kṛt affix तवत् (tavat) which also is called निष्ठा (niṣṭhā). It is prescribed in the active sense of somebody who has done a thing sometime in the past. A word ending in it is equivalent to the past active participle; e.g. भुक्तवान् ब्राह्मणः (bhuktavān brāhmaṇaḥ) cf P.I.1.26. The fem. affix डीप् (ḍīp) (ई) is added to nouns ending in क्तवतु (ktavatu) to form feminine bases; cf. P.IV.1.6.
