In Hinduism

Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)

Source: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammar

Vikaraṇa (विकरण).—An affix placed between a root and the personal ending, for showing the specific tense or mood or voice to convey which, the personal ending is applied; e. g. the conjugational signs शप्, श्यन्, श्रु, श, श्नम्, उ, श्ना (śap, śyan, śru, śa, śnam, u, śnā) and यक्, आम् (yak, ām), as also स्य, तास्, सिप्, आम् (sya, tās, sip, ām) and च्लि (cli) with its substitutes. Although the term विकरण (vikaraṇa) is used by ancient grammarians and freely used by the Mahabhsyakara in connection with the affixes, mentioned in the sutras of Panini, such as शप्, श्यन् (śap, śyan) and others, the term is not found in the Sutras of Panini. The vikaranas are different from the major kinds of the regular affixes तिङ्, कृत्य (tiṅ, kṛtya) and other similar ones. The vikaranas can be called कृत् (kṛt); so also, as they are mentioned in the topic (अधिकार (adhikāra)) of affixes or Pratyayas, they hold the designation ' pratyaya '. For the use of the word विकरण (vikaraṇa) see M.Bh. on P. I.3. 12, III, 1.31 and VI. 1.5. The term विकरण (vikaraṇa) is found. in the Yājñavalkya Siksa in the sense of change, (cf. उपधारञ्जनं कुर्यान्मनोर्विकरणे सति (upadhārañjanaṃ kuryānmanorvikaraṇe sati)) and possibly the ancient grammarians used it in that very sense as they found the root कृ (kṛ) modified as करु (karu) or कुरु (kuru), or चि (ci) as चिनु (cinu), or भू (bhū) as भव (bhava) before the regular personal endings तिप्, तस् (tip, tas) etc.
