About the Deepakam textbook
Deepakam (दीपकम्) is the NCERT Class 6 Sanskrit textbook used for these solutions. The reviewed copy is the 2026–27 reprint; that printing label does not establish a new syllabus or a first publication date. The title means “a little lamp” – the book lights the first steps of learning Sanskrit through the alphabet, conjunct letters, simple sentences (वाक्यानि), numbers, short verses (श्लोक), stories and grammar woven into engaging themes. Its 16 lessons (पाठ) move from the varnamala and pronouns, daily routine and counting, through brave poems, hospitality and the worth of intelligence, to subhashitas on real treasures, the harm of laziness and the selfless giving of trees. The chapter pages follow the textbook’s exercise order. Additional MCQs and explanations are ClearStudy practice material, while oral activities require students’ own participation.
