The author of the Sanskrit Grammar, 笔腻峁噄苍墨测补.

General information.

There is nowhere else in this world a grammar so scientific and so complete as 笔腻峁噄苍墨测补. The book contains about four thousand aphorisms. 笔腻峁噄苍颈 was an inspired sage and he got his knowledge from 艢颈惫补. It has not been possible to gather much information about the life of such a celebrated grammarian. 笔补迟补帽箩补濒颈 believes that he was the son of 顿腻办峁�i. He addresses 笔腻峁噄苍颈 as Ac膩rya, 叠丑补驳补惫腻苍 and 惭补丑补谤峁�i. The Chinese traveller Huen Tsang says that the grammar of all the languages in this world has its origin from 笔腻峁噄苍墨测补. 搁腻尘补产丑补诲谤补诲墨办峁�i迟补 says that 笔腻峁噄苍颈 was the son of the sage 笔腻峁噄.

Life period.

There is difference of opinion regarding the period during which 笔腻峁噄苍颈 lived. Dr. Goldstucker and Bhandarkar believe that 笔腻峁噄苍颈 lived before 500 B.C. while Vincent Smith and Belvelkar fix the period in 700 B.C. 笔补迟补帽箩补濒颈, the author of the celebrated '惭补丑腻产丑腻峁�y补' (commentary on 笔腻峁噄苍墨测补) lived in 200 B.C. 笔补迟补帽箩补濒颈 has contradicted many of the unjust criticisms made by 碍腻迟测腻测补苍补 about 笔腻峁噄苍墨测补. So 笔腻峁噄苍颈 must have lived before 碍腻迟测腻测补苍补. 笔腻峁噄苍颈 has made no reference to Buddha and so he must have lived before Buddha. 笔腻峁噄苍颈 has shown great grasp over the laws of 厂尘峁泃颈 and so he must have lived after Manu. Considering all these facts together it will be proper to fix the period of the end of the sixth century or the beginning of the seventh century B.C.

Place of birth.

Evidences are lacking to correctly fix the birth-place of 笔腻峁噄苍颈. Many pandits believe that 笔腻峁噄苍颈 was born in the village of 艢膩l膩tura in the city of Attock in the state of 骋腻苍诲丑腻谤补. But 笔腻峁噄苍颈 has spent the major portion of his life in P膩峁璦l墨putra. So some pandits are of opinion that only the ancestors of 笔腻峁噄苍颈 belonged to the village of 艢膩l膩tura and 笔腻峁噄苍颈 was born and brought up in P膩峁璦l墨putra. Jaimini and 叠丑补谤迟峁沨补谤颈 have stated that 笔腻峁噄苍颈 was a 艢颈峁ａ弓补. 艢颈峁ａ弓补s were brahmins well-versed in the 艢腻蝉迟谤补蝉 and devoid of earthly pleasures who inhabited the area surrounded by the 贬颈尘腻濒补测补蝉 in the north, K膩lakavana (Bengal) in the east, Vindhya mountains in the south and the 膧诲补谤艣补 (Aravalli mountains) in the west.

A legend.

There was a preceptor named 痴补谤峁�a in P膩峁璦l墨putra and 笔腻峁噄苍颈 had his education under him. 痴补谤峁�a gradually acquired a large number of disciples and 笔腻峁噄苍颈 was the most dull-witted among them. But he was greatly devoted to his Guru and this pleased the wife of the Guru and she took great interest in 笔腻峁噄苍颈. One day she called 笔腻峁噄苍颈 to her side and advised him to go to the 贬颈尘腻濒补测补蝉 and do penance to propitiate 艢颈惫补 to get knowledge from him. 笔腻峁噄苍颈 obeying instructions went and performed penance. 艢颈惫补 was pleased and he granted him knowledge about a new grammar. By the time 笔腻峁噄苍颈 came back from the 贬颈尘腻濒补测补蝉 with his grammar another disciple of 痴补谤峁�a, Vararuci by name, had come down with a grammar from Indra. 笔腻峁噄苍颈 challenged Vararuci for a polemical contest. It took eight days and on the eighth day Vararuci defeated 笔腻峁噄苍颈. At once there was a great humming sound from the sky and the grammar book of Vararuci was destroyed. After that 笔腻峁噄苍颈 defeated all his co-disciples in polemics and emerged as the greatest grammarian of the world. (Kath膩p墨峁環alambaka, 碍补迟丑腻蝉补谤颈迟蝉腻驳补谤补, 罢补谤补峁単补 4).

The birth of 笔腻峁噄苍墨测补.

When 笔腻峁噄苍颈 was doing penance to propitiate 艢颈惫补 the latter appeared before him and started dancing. He sounded his musical instrument 岣峢akk膩 (a large double drum) fourteen times. Each of it produced a different sound as follows (1) Aiu峁� (2) 峁氠阜k (3) Eo峁� (4) Aiauc (5) Hayavara峁� (6) la峁� (7) 帽ama峁卆峁嘺nam (8) Jhabha帽 (9) Gha岣峢adha峁� (10) Jabaga岣峚da艣 (11) Khaphacha峁環athaca峁璦tav (12) Kapay (13) 艢a峁�asar (14) Hal. 笔腻峁噄苍颈 accepted these fourteen sounds as fourteen 蝉奴迟谤补蝉 (aphorisms). They are called Praty膩h膩ra蝉奴迟谤补蝉. (The comprehension of several letters or affixes into one syllable effected by combining the first letter of a 厂奴迟谤补 with its final indicatory letter.). These 厂奴迟谤补s are now known as M膩he艣vara蝉奴迟谤补蝉.

笔腻峁噄苍颈鈥檚 grammar contains eight chapters and each chapter has got four 辫腻诲补蝉 and each 辫腻诲补 contains many 蝉奴迟谤补蝉. He has taken examples from worldly and spiritual texts in literature. He has dealt with the origin of sounds, connection between two words and all such etymological details. 笔腻峁噄苍颈鈥檚 grammar is not a mere grammar book. It is a science of language in itself.
