Source: DDSA: The practical Sanskrit-English dictionaryPrāvartika (प्रावर्तिक).—a. (The krama or order) which is followed in the first round (i. e. while performing the first of a series of acts to be done with reference to several persons or things). Hence °क्रमन्यायः (kramanyāyaḥ) is the rule according to which when a series of acts are to be performed with reference to several persons or things, the first act may be performed in any order one likes, but the subsequent acts are to be performed in the very order in which the first act is performed. This is discussed and established by जैमिनि (jaimini) and शबर (śabara) in MS.5.1.8-12. For, thus it is that a uniform अङ्गप्रधानप्रत्यासत्ति (aṅgapradhānapratyāsatti) is achieved.
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
