Panini Sutra

Pāṇini’s sūtras, known as the Aṣṭādhyāyī, form the foundational grammar of Sanskrit. In nearly four thousand concise rules, Pāṇini analyzes phonology, morphology, derivation, compounds, syntax, and word formation with extraordinary precision. The system uses technical markers, rule ordering, and meta-rules to generate correct Sanskrit forms. It became the basis of vyākaraṇa, one of the major Vedāṅgas, and influenced linguistic thought globally.
