Correct usage of past tenses in sanskrit

[Dhiraj Eadara]

Is it grammatically correct to say प्रातः व्यायामम् अकरवम्। लङ्-लकारः is for अनद्यतन-भूत-काल right? Should I say प्रातः व्यायामम् अकार्षम्?

[T.K Gopalan]

लङ् लकारः [अकरवम्] is for ‘past action done previous to the current day’
‘The Aorist [अकार्षम्] … merely implies the completion of an action at a past time, generally, and also an action done at a very recent time, as during the course of the day.’

So here अकार्षम् seems to be right.

(Citations from V S Apte Students guide to Sanskrit composition)
