Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)
Yat (यत्).—See य (ya) (6).
--- OR ---
Yāṭ (याट्).—Augment या (yā) prefixed to the caseaffixes marked with the mute letter ङ् (ṅ) (i,e. the dat. sing. the abl. sing the gen. sing. and the loc sing.) after a feminine base ending in आ; e. g. रमायै, रमायाः, रमायाम् (ramāyai, ramāyāḥ, ramāyām); cf याडापः (yāḍāpaḥ) P.VII.3.113.
Vyakarana (व्याकरण, vyākaraṇa) refers to Sanskrit grammar and represents one of the six additional sciences (vedanga) to be studied along with the Vedas. Vyakarana concerns itself with the rules of Sanskrit grammar and linguistic analysis in order to establish the correct context of words and sentences.
India history and geography
Yāt refers to a “mill-stone” in the Assamese language. Yānti refers to a “nut-cracker” Bengali. There is no Assamese word for nut-cracker. A mill-stone is called yāt in Assamese. Yat is pronounced as jāt. It is called yātā in Bengali. All these words are supposed to have been derived from Sanskrit “yantra”. The word “carota” for nut-cracker is prevalent in Assam. It may be a corruption or variation of some non-Assamese word. Nut-crackers are not in general use among the Assamese, who use green and ripe varieties of the betel-nut, slicing them with knives. The nut-cracker is required only for dried betel (supāri) which is not in favour in Assamese homes.—Note: Cf. Aḍkittā.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
