Tārakādi (तारकादि).—A class of words headed by the word तारका (tārakā) and containing prominently the words पुष्प, कण्टक, मुकुल, कुसुम, पल्लव, बुभुक्षा, ज्वर (puṣpa, kaṇṭaka, mukula, kusuma, pallava, bubhukṣā, jvara) and many others numbering more than ninety, to which the taddhita affix इत (ita) (इतच् (itac)) is added in the sense of 'containing'. As this class, called तारकादि (tārakādi), is looked upon as आकृतिगण (ākṛtigaṇa), nouns with इत (ita) added at their end, are supposed to be included in it; cf. P. V. 2.36.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
