Description

This edition is a Trade Paperback Edition, hence handy to carry.
-----------------------------------
Niṣṭhā or Nishtha i.e. निष्ठा in Sanskrit Grammar is a kridanta word, i.e. formed by adding a कृत् affix.
These kr̥t affixes are क्त and क्तवतु (kta , ktavatu ).

Sanskrit Literature, especially the Bhagavad Gita and the Upanishads have frequent use of निष्ठा words, primarily as Participles used as Verbs. And that too the Past Participle Passive क्त (kta) used in the sense of Past Tense, in place of the Verbs made using the लङ् affix.

The beauty of using निष्ठा lies in the fact that the same निष्ठा Participial Verb can be used in first person, second person or third person with no change in spelling. (This is not true of using लङ् affixed Verbs).

Nishtha words are also used as Adjectives in a sentence.

Another significance of using निष्ठा words is in a spiritual context, since the dictionary meaning of Nishtha is Determination or Commitment. Also Faith, Devotion and Assimilation of Knowledge.
------------------------
This handbook lists the Nishtha kta & ktavatu forms of entire Dhatupatha Roots, viz Dhatu Serial No 1 to 1943.
