Guest guest Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Namaskar respected members, Can anyone please answer a simple question for me? What is the root word of buddhi, bodha, buddha, etc.? I believe that many Sanskrit words can be traced back to the infinitive of the verb, and I think that in this case the infinitive is 'bu' which translates as 'to know,' but I may be wrong. Thank you so much to any member who can supply me with an answer to this question. Pranams, Durga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 I believe that the correct root is " Budh " which means to see, to perceive, to know, to wake, to recover consciousness Regards Sowmya http://www.gitaaonline.com/ advaitin , " Durga " <durgaji108 wrote: > > Namaskar respected members, > > Can anyone please answer a simple question for me? > What is the root word of buddhi, bodha, buddha, > etc.? > > I believe that many Sanskrit words can be traced > back to the infinitive of the verb, and I think > that in this case the infinitive is 'bu' which > translates as 'to know,' but I may be wrong. > > Thank you so much to any member who can supply > me with an answer to this question. > > Pranams, > Durga > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
