ṚkٲԳٰ (ऋक्तन्त्�).—A work consisting of five chap ters containing in all 287 sūtras. It covers the same topics as the Prātiśākhya works and is looked upon as one of the Prātiśākhya works of the Sāma Veda. Its authorship is attributed to Śākaṭāyana according to Nageśa, while औदिव्राज (ܻ徱Ჹ) is held as its author by some, and कात्यायन (ٲⲹԲ) by others. It bears a remarkable similarity to Pāṇini's ṣṭī especially in topics concerning coalescence and changes of स् (s) and न् (n) to ष् () and ण् () respectively. It cannot be definitely said whether it preceded or followed Pāṇini's work.
