In Hinduism
Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)
Source: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammarLuṅ (लुङ्).—An affix applied to a root, showing action of immediate past time as contrasted with affixes called लिट् (liṭ) or लङ् (laṅ). The affix लुङ् (luṅ) is found used, however, in the sense of the past time in general, and irrespective of time in Vedic Literature; cf. छन्दसि लुङ्लङ्लिटः (chandasi luṅlaṅliṭaḥ) P. III. 4.6. The conjugational affixes ति, तः (ti, taḥ), etc. are substituted for लुङ् (luṅ) as for the lakāras of other tenses and moods and the distinguishing sign or विकरण (vikaraṇa) is added to a root before the affix called लुङ् (luṅ); cf. च्लि लुङि (cli luṅi) and the following P. III. 1.43 etc.
Vyakarana (व्याकरण, vyākaraṇa) refers to Sanskrit grammar and represents one of the six additional sciences (vedanga) to be studied along with the Vedas.
