संहितापाठ the running text or the original text of the four Vedas as originally composed. This text, which was the original one, was split up into its constituent padas or separate words by ancient sages शौनक, अात्रेय and others,with a view to facilitating the understanding of it, and consequently to preserving it in the oral tradition.The original was called मूलप्रकृति of which the पदपाठ and the क्रमपाठ which were comparatively older than the other artificial recitations such as the जटापाठ, घनपाठ and others, are found mentioned in the Pratisakhya works.

सकर्मक a root which, by virtue of the nature of its meaning i.e. verbal activity, requires or expects an object which is covered by the activity; a transitive root. In the passive voice of these roots the object is expressed by the verbal termination and hence it is put in the nominative case.

सक्रियाविशेषण accompanied by a word qualifying the verbal acti- vity; sometimes a verb with such a word makes a sentence; cf. सक्रिया- विशेषणं चेति वक्तव्यम् । सुष्टु पचति । M.Bh. on P. II.1.1 Vart. 9.

सगति or सगतिक accompanied by a preposition which is called गति; cf सगतिरपि तिङ् P. VIII. 1.68; cf. also सगतिरपि । प्रपचति M.Bh. on P VIII.1.68.
