Śūٰ (शिवसूत्र).—Name given to the fourteen small sutras giving the alphabet which Panini took as the basis of his grammar. The Sivasutras have got a well-known explanation in Verse, named नन्दिकेश्वरकारिक� (ԲԻ徱ś) on which there is a commentary of the type of Bhasya by उपमन्य� (upamanyu). The origin of the Sivasutra given by the writer of the Karika is summed up in the stanza -नृत्तावसान� नटराजराज� ननाद ढक्कां नवपञ्चवारम� � उद्धर्तुकामः सनकादि-सिद्धानेतद� विमर्श� शिवसूत्रजालम� � (nṛttāvasāne naṭarājarājo nanāda ḍhakkā� navapañcavāram | uddhartukāma� sanakādi-siddhānetad vimarśe śsūtrajālam ||) Nand. 1.
