Kavya (poetry)
Source: Wisdom Library: Kath¨¡sarits¨¡gara°¨¡³Ù²â¨¡²â²¹²Ô²¹ (????????) is another name of Vararuci, an incarnation of Pu?padanta who is a subordinate of ?iva. Pu?padanta was cursed by P¨¡rvat¨© after overhearing ?iva narrating the adventures of the seven Vidy¨¡dharas, according to the Kath¨¡sarits¨¡gara. P¨¡rvat¨© cursed Pu?padanta together with M¨¡lyav¨¡n (a ga?a, who intervened and recommended for mercy) to become mortals.
When asked by P¨¡rvat¨© what happened to these cursed ga?as (servants), ?iva answered: ¡°My beloved, Pu?padanta has been born under the name of Vararuci in that great city which is called Kau?¨¡mb¨©. Moreover M¨¡lyav¨¡n also has been born in the splendid city called Suprati??hita under the name of Gu?¨¡?hya. This, O goddess, is what has befallen them.¡±
The Kath¨¡sarits¨¡gara (¡®ocean of streams of story¡¯), mentioning °¨¡³Ù²â¨¡²â²¹²Ô²¹, is a famous Sanskrit epic story revolving around prince Narav¨¡hanadatta and his quest to become the emperor of the ±¹¾±»å²â¨¡»å³ó²¹°ù²¹²õ (celestial beings). The work is said to have been an adaptation of Gu?¨¡?hya¡¯s B?hatkath¨¡ consisting of 100,000 verses, which in turn is part of a larger work containing 700,000 verses.
Kavya (?????, kavya) refers to Sanskrit poetry, a popular ancient Indian tradition of literature. There have been many Sanskrit poets over the ages, hailing from ancient India and beyond. This topic includes mahakavya, or ¡®epic poetry¡¯ and natya, or ¡®dramatic poetry¡¯.
Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)
: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammar°¨¡³Ù²â¨¡²â²¹²Ô²¹ (????????).¡ªThe well-known author of the V¨¡rttikas on the ²õ¨±³Ù°ù²¹²õ of P¨¡?ini. He is also believed to be the author of the V¨¡jasaneyi Pr¨¡ti?¨¡khya and many s¨±tra works named after him. He is believed to be a resident of South India on the strength of the remark ???????????? ????????????? (priyataddhit¨¡ d¨¡k?i?¨¡ty¨¡?) made by Pata?jali in connection with the statement '??? ????????????? (yath¨¡ laukikavaidike?u)' which is looked upon as °¨¡³Ù²â¨¡²â²¹²Ô²¹'s V¨¡rttika. Some scholars say that Vararuci was also another name given to him, in which case the V¨¡rttikak¨¡ra Vararuci °¨¡³Ù²â¨¡²â²¹²Ô²¹ has to be looked upon as different from the subsequent writer named Vararuci to whom some works on Prakrit and K¨¡tantra grammar are ascribed. For details see Mah¨¡bh¨¡?ya Vol. VII. pages I93-223 published by the D. E.Society, Poona.See also ?????????? (±¹¨¡°ù³Ù¾±°ì²¹±è¨¡?³ó²¹) below.

After P¨¡ini, there was a succession of thinkers of language, grammar and philosophy of language, viz., °¨¡³Ù²â¨¡²â²¹²Ô²¹, who commented on P¨¡?ini¡¯s rules.
Vyakarana (???????, ±¹²â¨¡°ì²¹°ù²¹?²¹) refers to Sanskrit grammar and represents one of the six additional sciences (vedanga) to be studied along with the Vedas.

Like the latter of these two just-mentioned texts, the work at hand also contains a list of canonical titles in its opening chapter.

The ±¹²¹¾±??²¹±¹¨¡²µ²¹³¾²¹²õ represent one of the three classes of ¨¡²µ²¹³¾²¹²õ (traditionally communicated wisdom).¡ªTexts of the P¨¡?cara ?gamas are divided in to two sects. It is believed that Lord V¨¡sudeva revealed the first group of texts which are called Divya and the next group is called Muniprokta which are further divided in to three viz. a. S¨¡ttvika. b. R¨¡jasa (e.g., °¨¡³Ù²â¨¡²â²¹²Ô²¹-sa?hit¨¡). c. T¨¡masa.
°¨¡³Ù²â¨¡²â²¹²Ô²¹ is also the name of a Vai??ava ?gama scripture, classified as a ³Ù¨¡³¾²¹²õ²¹ type of the Muniprokta group of P¨¡?car¨¡tra ?gamas.

General definition (in Hinduism)
: WikiPedia: Hinduism°¨¡³Ù²â¨¡²â²¹²Ô²¹ (c. 3rd century BC) was a Sanskrit grammarian, mathematician and Vedic priest who lived in ancient India.
He is known for two works:
- The Varttika, an elaboration on P¨¡?ini grammar. Along with the Mah¨¡bh¨¡sya of Pata?jali, this text became a core part of the Vy¨¡karana (grammar) canon.
-
He also composed one of the later Sulba Sutras, a series of nine texts on the geometry of altar constructions, dealing with rectangles, right-sided triangles, rhombuses, etc.
°¨¡³Ù²â¨¡²â²¹²Ô²¹'s views on the word-meaning connection tended towards naturalism. °¨¡³Ù²â¨¡²â²¹²Ô²¹ believed, like Plato, that the word-meaning relationship was not a result of human convention. For °¨¡³Ù²â¨¡²â²¹²Ô²¹, word-meaning relations were siddha, given to us, eternal. Though the object a word is referring to is non-eternal, the substance of its meaning, like a lump of gold used to make different ornaments, remains undistorted, and is therefore permanent.
In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita Sastra1) °¨¡³Ù²â¨¡²â²¹²Ô²¹ (????????) or Mah¨¡k¨¡ty¨¡yana was one of the great disciples of the Buddha, the foremost of those who explain at length the brief aphorisms of the Buddha. He was originally from Ujjayi²Ô¨© and was the disciple of Avanti. According to concordant information, he may have been the author of the Pe?akopadesa: the Gandhava?sa, p. 59, attributes this work to him.
The Mah¨¡praj?¨¡p¨¡ramit¨¡?¨¡stra says: ¡°Mah¨¡k¨¡ty¨¡yana, during the lifetime of the Buddha, explained the words of the Buddha and made a Pi le (Pe?aka), ¡®box-collection¡¯ in the Ts¡¯in language (Chinee), which, until today, is used in southern India.¡± Param¨¡rtha says: ¡°In the time when the Buddha was in the world, Mah¨¡k¨¡ty¨¡yana expounded a ?¨¡stra to explain the ?gama ²õ¨±³Ù°ù²¹²õ of the Buddha.¡± (This again concerns the Pe?akopadesa and the Abhidharmaj?¨¡naprasth¨¡na).
2) K¨¡ty¨¡y¨¡yana (??????????), author of the ´³?¨¡²Ô²¹±è°ù²¹²õ³Ù³ó¨¡²Ô²¹.¡ªThe Mah¨¡praj?¨¡p¨¡ramit¨¡?¨¡stra tells us that after the Council of A?oka (therefore, according to its accounting, in the 200th year after the ²Ô¾±°ù±¹¨¡?²¹. °¨¡³Ù²â¨¡²â²¹²Ô²¹ composed the ´³?¨¡²Ô²¹±è°ù²¹²õ³Ù³ó¨¡²Ô²¹. This date was confirmed by Param¨¡rtha who informs us ¡°that in the 200 years, Katy¨¡y¨¡na left Lake Anavatapta, came to the country of Magadha into the Mah¨¡s¨¡?ghika school, where he established distinctions related to the holy teaching of the Tripi?aka¡; those who accepted his teachings formed a separate school called ¡®the school that enunciates distinctions¡¯; these were the disciples of Mah¨¡°ì¨¡³Ù²â²¹na.¡± Actually, °¨¡³Ù²â¨¡²â²¹²Ô²¹ was not a Mah¨¡s¨¡?ghika, but a pure Sarv¨¡stiv¨¡din. Param¨¡rtha later corrects himself in associating °¨¡³Ù²â¨¡²â²¹²Ô²¹ with the beginnings of the Sarv¨¡stiv¨¡din school which was formed at the beginning of the 3rd century after the ²Ô¾±°ù±¹¨¡?²¹.
Mahayana (??????, mah¨¡y¨¡na) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings). Extant literature is vast and primarely composed in the Sanskrit language. There are many ²õ¨±³Ù°ù²¹²õ of which some of the earliest are the various Praj?¨¡p¨¡ramit¨¡ ²õ¨±³Ù°ù²¹²õ.
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Tibetan Buddhism°¨¡³Ù²â¨¡²â²¹²Ô²¹ (????????) is the name of a ?r¨¡vaka mentioned as attending the teachings in the 6th century Ma?ju?r¨©m¨±lakalpa: one of the largest Kriy¨¡ Tantras devoted to Ma?ju?r¨© (the Bodhisattva of wisdom) representing an encyclopedia of knowledge primarily concerned with ritualistic elements in Buddhism. The teachings in this text originate from Ma?ju?r¨© and were taught to and by Buddha ?¨¡kyamuni in the presence of a large audience (including °¨¡³Ù²â¨¡²â²¹²Ô²¹).
Tibetan Buddhism includes schools such as Nyingma, Kadampa, Kagyu and Gelug. Their primary canon of literature is divided in two broad categories: The Kangyur, which consists of Buddha¡¯s words, and the Tengyur, which includes commentaries from various sources. Esotericism and tantra techniques (±¹²¹Âá°ù²¹²â¨¡²Ô²¹) are collected indepently.
General definition (in Buddhism)
: WikiPedia: Buddhism°¨¡³Ù²â¨¡²â²¹²Ô²¹ was a disciple of Gautama Buddha. He was born in a Brahmin family at Ujjayini (Ujjain) and received a classical Brahminical education studying the Vedas. Tradition attributes to Katy¨¡yana the authorship of two late P¨¡li canonical texts Nettipakarana, a commentary on Buddhist doctrine; and pe?akopadesa, a treatise on exegetical methodology.
In Sanskrit his name is °¨¡³Ù²â¨¡²â²¹²Ô²¹ (????????) or Mah¨¡k¨¡ty¨¡yana (???????????); in P¨¡li Kacc¨¡na (or Kacc¨¡yana), or Mah¨¡kacc¨¡na; and in Japanese åÈì¹ÑÓ Kasennen.
: academia.edu: The Chronological History of BuddhismKatyayana or Vararuchi I (1690-1600 BCE).¡ªVararuchi or Katyayana was the minister of Mahapadma Nanda. Katyayana wrote vartikas on Panini sutras. He also wrote ¡°Prakrita - Prakasha¡±, the first grammar book of Prakrit language. Katyayana probably knew the Paishachi language and salvaged ¡°Brihatkatha¡± the lost work of Gunadhya I. He rewrote Brihatkatha of Gunadhya I in Prakrit language. It appears that Katyayana became Buddhist and founded the school of Mulasarvastivada. Buddhist sources clearly record that Katyayana was the first Sarvastivadin.

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled ????????? (sa?sk?tam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
