Data: vidyut's Dhātupāṭha (ambuda-org/vidyut) and the English and Hindi meanings from ashtadhyayi.com. Each language lists its own senses, so they can differ. Printed editions count roots differently, so you'll see totals near 2,000 elsewhere. Codes are class.number. P/Ā/U is what the root's own markers predict. Decode any upadeśa in the it-letter tool.
