The Sanskrit word "procyate" (प्रोच्यते) is a verb that
generally means "is declared," "is proclaimed," or "is
stated," often used in classical texts to indicate
something being pronounced or taught by an authority.
Meaning and Usage
Procyate is derived from the root verb "ūch" (उच्), meaning
"to speak" or "to declare," combined with the prefix "pra-" denoting
forward or forth. It is used in the present passive or middle voice
form of the verb, typically translating as:
- "is declared"
- "is spoken"
- "is proclaimed"
- "is mentioned"
For example, in the Bhagavad Gita 18.19, the verse reads:
Grammatical Notes
- Voice: Middle/passive (ātmanepada/parasmaipada context)
- Tense: Present
- Mood: Indicative
- Function: Often used in scriptures and classical Sanskrit to present
- authoritative statements or doctrinal categorization.
Summary
This word is therefore versatile in Sanskrit literature, particularly
in contexts where knowledge, rules, or classifications are imparted
formally.
