The index starts on page 53: each page is divided into two columns, so that a dhatu together with its grammatical information is listed on one line, in fact, one row of tabulated data, six columns wide. These columns, from left to right, provide the following information: (a) The dhatu together with its anubandha: the index is ordered alphabetically according to this column. (b) The gana to which the dhatu belongs: this column has just the first syllable of the gana, which is shown in full on the contents page. (c) The bhasa (= speech; synonymous with pada used in this course), which may be atmane-bhasa, parasmai-bhasa, or ubhayato-bhasa (= both, i.e. atmane and parasmai ). (d) Whether the dhatu is "HC (= ^T-^ C, accepts augment f? in its expansion), or 3i I H C (= 3T*T-§C, does not do so): this may be ignored at this stage. (e) The page number on which the dhatu together with its artha may be found. (f) The column on that page where it may be found. The first entry of the index shows that the dhatu 3T^> (with its anubandha) belongs to J-qil^ g l u l , is TT^T-^TT^T, and may be found on page 17 column 1, as: Note that the index has two entries for dhatu 3T^> with different anubandha vowels (i.e. 3T^> and 3TTh>), whereas the dictionary lists only one dhatu 3T^>. Where the dhatu has more than one entry in the index, do make use of the information given in the dictionary immediately after the dhatu heading word: this information gives the class (gana) and bhasa of the dhatu (see (b) and (c) above); for example, 'cl. 1 A.' means class 1 (bhvadi-gana) and atmane- bhasa; 'cl. 4 P.' means divadi-gana parasmai-bhasa, etc. (the table of contents in the Dhatu-Patha gives the order of the gana). Where the dictionary gives both bhasa, as 'P. A.', this is the equivalent of ubhayato-bhasa in the Dhatu-Patha. At the end of the index, on page 99, is an Addendum listing entries that had been omitted from the main index.
