Philosophy of language and grammatical speculation had impor-
tant links with Saivism. Panini was considered a Saivite. The first
fourteen s眉tras of his grammatical work are conceived as articulate
representations of the inarticulate sounds produced in fourteensets by
Siva through his hand-drum, known as Dhakva. The philosophical aspect of
Panini's phonetics was further developed in the Nandikesvara's K膩艣ik膩.
Nandi brings out two analogies which characterize Siva - Sakti unity.
The couple is imagined like the moon and her light, and it intends to
point out the relationship between language and meaning "candra
yoryadvad yatha v盲garthayoriva" (Nandikesvara, Mysore, 1936

Som膩nanda was the founder of the Recognitive (Pratyabhijn膩)
School of Saivism in Kashmir and a critic of Bhart峁沨ari's V盲kyapadiyam.
According to Bhart峁沨ari, "there is not perception in this world without
being accompanied by speech and every cognition is penetrated by speech;
if this eternal flow of speech separated away from cognition, the light
would not shine. This flow of speech arises from thinking in fact" (VP,
124,125). Bhart峁沨ari considers that between the pure data of observation
called "light" (prakasa) and the reflected thought it is not a break in
continuity (K.A.Subramania Iyer Bhart峁沨ari, A study of the Vakyapadiya,
Poona, 1969, p.94). A world of pure sensations and observations opposite
each other is only a differentiation made by our mind and has no reality.
There thought and speech germinant in every perception. Without the uni-
fying movement of thinking (which is identical with language for Bhart峁沨ari)
that gives life and correlates the heterogeneous data of light, speech
would be void (M.Biardeau
