The Vyakarana (Grammar in Sanskrit) is associated with Sabdabrahman. Worship of the Nadabrahman, which is the goal of music, is a branch of this. 11 " Siva temples have a mantapam (pavilion or hall) called Vyakarana-danamantapa". In Tamil it has come to be called vakkanikkum mantapam ". There are such halls in many temples in the Cola territory of Tamilnadu. One such is in Tiruvorriyur near Madras. Why should there be a mantapa for grammar in Siva temples? What is Siva's connection with language? The following verse gives a clue: nrttavasane natarajarajo nanada dhakkam navapancavaram | uddhartukamah sanakadisiddhanetadvimarse sivasutrajalam || At the conclusion of His cosmic dance, Lord Siva sounded His drum 14 times. Nataraja has a drum in one hand, called the Dhakka or Damaruka. The Tala of this drum (the time kept by it) is in keeping with the "footwork" of the dancing god, the movement of his feet. When Nataraja danced like this, Sanaka and his brother sages, Patanjali, Vyagrapada and so on stood round him, and watched this awe inspiring dance. Visnu played the drum called the Maddala, while Brahma kept time.

104 The fourteen sounds produced by Nataraja's drum, gave rise to the fourteen cardinal sutras of grammar and Panini who had divine vision of the dance of Siva, based his Astadhyayi on the 14 sutras. As its very name suggests, this work, which is the source book of Sanskrit grammar, has eight chapters. Since the fourteen sutras emanated from the drum of Mahesvara (Nataraja), they are called "Mahesvarasutras".

105 : Thus, Sanskrit Grammar is said to have originated from a musical instrument, that too a percussion instrument 'Dhakka', the laya being the basis for all creation. The Aksaras are clearly seen by Great seers, in the vibrations in the whole universe.
