Notes	¹Vedic ²Later Sanskrit, ³Kaṭha Upaniṣad, ⁴Taittirīya Brāhmaṇa

The middle forms are in Vedic often accented on the first syllable, e.g. ददृशे (dádṛśe), which is an indication of their use with a present meaning: "to be visible".
In the Atharvaveda occurs once the third plural imperative middle ददृश्राम् (dadṛśrām).
