Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)

: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammar

°­°ù²¹³¾²¹±èÄåá¹»·²¹ (कà¥à¤°à¤®à¤ªà¤¾à¤�).—Recital of the Vedic SaṃhitÄ by means of separate groups of two words, repeating each word except the first of the Vedic verseline; see कà¥à¤°à¤® (krama) above. The various rules and exceptions are given in detail in Paá¹­alas ten and eleven of the Ṛk PrÄtiÅ›Äkhya. The Vedic SaṃhitÄ or SaṃhitıèÄåá¹»·²¹ is supposed to be the original one and the Pada±èÄåá¹»·²¹ prepared later on, with a view to preserving the Vedic text without any change or modification of a letter, or accent; cf. à¤� लकà¥à¤·à¤£à¥‡à¤� पदकारा अनà¥à¤µà¤°à¥à¤¤à¥à¤¯à¤¾à¤� à¥� पदकारैरà¥à¤¨à¤¾à¤� लकà¥à¤·à¤£à¤®à¤¨à¥à¤µà¤°à¥à¤¤à¥à¤¯à¤®à¥ (na laká¹£aṇena padakÄrÄ anuvartyÄá¸� | padakÄrairnÄma laká¹£aṇamanuvartyam) M. Bh. on III. 1.109, VI. 1.207 and VIII. 2.16, where Patañjali clearly says that grammar-rules are not to follow the Pada±èÄåá¹»·²¹, but, the writer of the Pada±èÄåá¹»·²¹ is to follow the rules already laid down. The JaṭıèÄåá¹»·²�, the Ghana±èÄåá¹»·²¹ and the other recitals are later developments of the Pada±èÄåá¹»·²¹ as they are not mentioned in the PrÄtiÅ›Äkhya works.

Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

: archive.org: Puranic Encyclopedia

°­°ù²¹³¾²¹±èÄåá¹»·²¹ (कà¥à¤°à¤®à¤ªà¤¾à¤�).—A method of teaching the Vedas. It is due to the insistence on strict adherence to this method of teaching that even after thousands of years variations have not crept into the original texts of the Vedas which form the earliest literature. There is a portion called 'word study' (Pada PÄá¹­ha) in the Vedas (the scripture). Every word in the Veda is separated from its prefixes and suffixes. The second step is °­°ù²¹³¾²¹±èÄåá¹»·²¹ or the study of joining prefixes and suffixes to each word got by the first step. Next step is JaṭıèÄåá¹»·²� in which words are combined with their prefixes and suffixes. To guard against the creeping in of mistakes in this step, the next step which is known as Ghana±èÄåá¹»·²¹ is taught. In this step the first step of Pada±èÄåá¹»·²¹ and the second step of Krama ±èÄåá¹»·²¹ are mixed together and intermingled from beginning to end and end to beginning. There are rules to make combined words by using prefixes and suffixes. These rules are called PrÄtiÅ›Äkhya. Because the Vedas are taught in this way with so much attention and care, their texts have never been subjected to changes and variations.
