The Aṣṭādhyāyī, composed by Maharshi Panini in the fifth century BC, is the best in teaching Sanskrit. This text demonstrates the validity of both Vedic and secular Sanskrit words. Aṣṭādhyāyī is formulaic and nature-convincing. The pronoun (word) and the noun (verb) are in nature. The suffixes are sup, tiṅ, verbs, feminine suffixes, adverbial suffixes, and verb suffixes. In the case of tense and special meaning, the ten syllables of the verb are used as contract-specific, six ṭitaḥ and four ṅitaḥ. And hi- laṭ, liṭ, luṭ, lṛṭ, loṭ, leṭ, laṅ, liṅ, luṅ, and lṛṅ. In the deletion of these conjunctions, only l remains. Therefore, in general, these ten are treated as verbs. In general, we know that laṭlakāra in the present, liṭlakāra in the present-past tense, luṭlakāra in the present-past tense, lṛt in the general future, leṭ in the linguistic sense, loṭ in the sense of questions and prayers in the sense of invitation are the āśīliṅlakāra, the luṅlakāra in the common past tense, and the lṛṅlakāra in the future tense in the infinitive of the verb. The Vedas use the leṭlakāra. There is no use of the leṭ verb in the world. However, the special use of these verbs is also mentioned in theAṣṭādhyāyī. For fear of expansion, this paper only presents the experimental method on laṭlakāra.
