Significance of Grammatical structure
Grammatical structure, as defined by Vyakarana, encompasses the arrangement of words in a sentence and their relationships, facilitating comprehension of actions and objects. This includes the roles and modifications of words within the sentence. In contrast, Kavyashastra presents grammatical structure in the context of poetry, emphasizing the systems and forms that dictate word and phrase arrangements in verses. Both perspectives highlight the importance of structure in enhancing understanding and expression in language.
