Third personHe, she, it, or theygacchatigacchataḥgacchanti
Second personYougacchasigacchathaḥgacchatha
First personI or wegacchāmigacchāvaḥgacchāmaḥ

The present stem gaccha is irregular and is stored explicitly.

Scope: present indicative, thematic classes 1, 4, 6 and 10. The root list is intentionally limited to checked present stems. Athematic classes, other tenses and roots whose stem has not been verified are left out rather than approximated.

Sanskrit tables traditionally place the third person first, followed by the second and first persons. The order here follows that convention.
