विवरणम् · Explanation
नूतनानि क्रियापदानि — “क्रीणामि” (buy), “आनयामि” (bring), “नयामि” (take), “वहामि” (carry), “जानामि” (know), “स्मरामि” (remember), “चिन्तयामि” (think), “धावामि” (run)। सर्वाणि लट्-रूपाणि एव — “-आमि, -सि, -ति” इति।
Eight workhorse verbs join your kit: क्रीणामि buy, आनयामि bring, नयामि take/lead, वहामि carry, जानामि know, स्मरामि remember, चिन्तयामि think, धावामि run. They all follow the endings you know — only the stems are new. Note the -ति forms: क्रीणाति, जानाति (slightly irregular — memorise them as chunks).
“आनयति” इति “brings here”, “नयति” इति “takes there” — आ-उपसर्गः दिशां परिवर्तयति, यथा “गच्छति / आगच्छति”।
The prefix आ- flips direction, just as in गच्छति/आगच्छति: नयति “takes away”, आनयति “brings here”. Watch for this pattern — Sanskrit builds many verbs this way.
