In Hinduism
Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)
: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammarŚabd (शब्द�).�lit. 'sound' in general; cf. शब्द� कुरु शब्द� मा कार्षी� � ध्वनिं कुर्वन्नेवमुच्यत� � (ś岹� kuru ś岹� mā kārṣīḥ | dhvani� kurvannevamucyate |) M.Bh. in Ahnika 1; cf. also शब्द� प्रकृतिः सर्ववर्णानाम� � वर्णपृक्तः शब्द� वा� उत्पत्ति� (ś岹� praṛti� sarvavarṇānām | varṇapṛkta� śo vāca utpatti�) T. Pr. XXIII.1, XXIII.3.In grammar the word शब्द (ś岹) is applied to such words only as possess sense; cf. प्रतीतपदार्थक� लोके ध्वनिः शब्द� (pratītapadārthako loke dhvani� ś岹�) M. Bh. in Ahnika I; cf.also येनोच्चरितेन अर्थ� प्रतीयत� � शब्द� (yenoccaritena artha� pratīyate sa ś岹�) Sringara Prakasa I; cf. also अथ शब्दानुशासनम� (atha śānuśāsanam) M.Bh. Ahnika I. In the Vajasaneyi-Pratisakhya, शब्द� (ś) is said to be constituted of air as far as its nature is concerned, but it is taken to mean in the Pratisakhya and grammar works in a restricted sense as letters possessed of sense, The vajasaneyi-Pratisakhya gives four kinds of words तिडू, कृत्, तद्धित (پḍ�, ṛt, taddhita) and समास () while ना�, आख्यात, निपा� (峾, ٲ, Ծٲ) and उपसर्ग (upasarga) are described to be the four kinds in the Nirukta. As शब्द (ś岹) in grammar, is restricted to a phonetic unit possessed of sense, it can be applied to crude bases, affixes, as also to words that are completely formed with case-endings or personal affixes. In fact, taking it to be applicable to all such kinds, some grammarians have given tweive subdivisions of शब्द (ś岹), viz. प्रक्रुत�, प्रत्य�, उपस्का�, उपपद, प्रातिपदिक, विभक्त�, उपसर्ज�, समास, पद, वाक्�, प्रकरण (prakruti, pratyaya, ܱ貹, upapada, پ貹徱첹, vibhakti, upasarjana, , pada, ⲹ, 첹ṇa) and प्रबन्� (prabandha); cf. Sringara Prakasa I.

Vyakarana (व्याकर�, vyākaraṇa) refers to Sanskrit grammar and represents one of the six additional sciences (vedanga) to be studied along with the Vedas. Vyakarana concerns itself with the rules of Sanskrit grammar and linguistic analysis in order to establish the correct context of words and sentences.
