(SAN8102) – Pāṇini’s Aṣṭādhyāyī is a monumental work in the sūtra format (short aphorisms) that establishes the grammar for classical Sanskrit as a language. At the same time, the text also presents a general model for language description, that goes beyond Sanskrit as a specific language instance. This is the fourth course in a sequence of four courses on Vyākaraṇa (grammar) based on Pāṇini’s Aṣṭādhyāyī. The formalism of grammar developed by Pāṇini has its foundation in the philosophy of language in the Indian tradition elucidated by Vyāḍi. After Pāṇini, Bhartṛhari explained this comprehensively in his compendium named Vākyapadīya, which elucidates the universal philosophy of language, and is considered as a pathway to liberation in the Vyākaraṇa tradition.
