Namaste,
Esteemed scholars,
In the Indian tradition on this day we celebrate Upaakarma. What is the meaning of this word? I heard a scholar saying that it is Upakrama as one is supposed to start studying one new portion of the Vedas and the Shastras. Is it UPA-KRAMA?

Apte's dictionary gives the following meanings for UPAAKARMAN -
1. Preparation, beginning, commencement.
2. A ceremony performed before commencing to read the vedas after the
monsoon.

उपाकरणम् - उपाकर्म।
"संस्कारपूर्वं ग्रहणं स्यादुपाकरणं श्रुतेः" इत्यमरः (२.७.४०)
एकं वेदपाठारम्भविधिधिविशेषस्य। It is उपाकरण as recorded by Amarasimha.
And also उपाकर्मन्.

वेदाध्ययन is between उपाकर्म and उत्सर्जन. i.e. उपाकर्म the beginning and उत्सर्जन or otherwise known as समावर्तन also.

Esteemed scholars,
How do we break the word Upakarma?
Is it Upa + aa(samantaat) + karma.
So what meaning should we infer?
Or is there any other way of breaking the word and understanding it?
