Class 10 is known as चुरादि in the Ashtadhyayi. The exemplar verb root is 'chur:to steal'.
Step 1: Strengthen the radical vowel. Apply 'guNNa' to the short medial vowel, or 'vRuddhi' to the final vowel.
Step 2: Affix 'aya', resulting in the verbal base.
Examples of the derivation of the Third Person-Singular and Plural Present Verb conjugations are shown in the following table:
| Verb Root | Step 1: apply guNNa / vRuddhi | Step 2: attach 'aya' | Verbal Base | III-Singular Present | III-Plural Present |
| chur (to steal:Par.) | chor | choraya | choraya | chorayati | chorayanti |
| dhUp (to heat:Par.) | dhUp | dhUpA | dhUpAya | dhUpAyati | dhUpAyanti |
| guh (to hide:Par.) | gUh | gUha | gUhaya | gUhayati | gUhayanti |
| dhRu (to owe:Par.) | dhAr | dhAraya | dhAraya | dhArayati | dhArayanti |
Derivation:
- The {3.1.25:satyApapAsharUpavINNAtUlashlokasenAlomatvachavarmavarNNachUrNNachurAdibhyo NNich} sutra attaches the 'NNich' affix immediately after the verb root, and this word is thereafter considered the verb root. Hence, this process is sometimes called 'NNich shap' because the 'shap' augment is attached as in the usual derivation once the verb root is changed by the attachment of 'NNich'.
