'laT' is pANini's way of refering to the present tense, the so called Simple Present Tense or Present Indefinite. It used to be called as the vartamAna-kAlaH by the previous grammarians. pANini for his part defines this by a sUtra: vartamAne laT primarily. In the sUtras delineating the "usage" of vartamAna kAlaH he further sys talks of vartAmAna sAmIpye by which the immediate past and immediate future could also be referenced by laT.
