Yaska considers dhatu, or root, as the primordial element of a word. Every word has a root as its origin. In tracing the root he follows some basic rules. Yaska had produced many such words and principles in his text Nirukta.
Nirukta is thus the earliest treatises on the etymology, philology and semantics.
Nirukta is an important text to study and understand Veda Samhita. It is part of Vedanga.
