Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)
: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammarCa� (चङ�).—A Vikarana affix of the aorist substituted for च्लि (cli) after roots ending in the causal sign णि (ṇi), as also after the roots श्रि, द्रु (ś, dru) and others; this चङ� (�) causes reduplication of the preceding root form; cf. P. III 1.48-50, e. g. अचूचुरत्, अशिश्रियत् (ūܰ, aśiśyat); cf. also P. VII. 4.93.

Ca� (चण�).—The indeclinable � (ca) (with ण् (�) as a mute letter added to it which of course disappears) possessing the sense of चेत् (cet) or condition. e.g. अय� � मरिष्यति (aya� ca mariṣyati) cf. Kas, on P. VIII. 1.30.

Vyakarana (व्याकर�, vyākaraṇa) refers to Sanskrit grammar and represents one of the six additional sciences (vedanga) to be studied along with the Vedas. Vyakarana concerns itself with the rules of Sanskrit grammar and linguistic analysis in order to establish the correct context of words and sentences.
