This book is the first volume in a series titled

“The Study Guide to Pā ini-Sūtra through Laghusiddhāntakaumudī”.
As a traditional entry book into Pā inian Sanskrit grammar,
the Laghusiddhāntakaumudī of Varadarāja is studied widely, especially in India.
The “Study Guide to Laghusiddhāntakaumudī” series of books makes
Laghusiddhāntakaumudī easily accessible to students and teachers alike who desire to
gain a good grasp of Pā inian Sanskrit grammar in a proper traditional manner.
In this series, each Pā inian sūtra is clearly explained in Laghusiddhāntakaumudī
sequence with a diagram, word by word translation,
and translation of the vItti (the short commentary on the sūtra).
This series of books has been developed as study material in 39-month Vedanta and

Introduction
Purpose of this book
This book is a study guide to Pā ini-Sūtra through i•*6 }"t$…'o6 /.

There are two main purposes in writing this book:
1. To provide a bridge for students to the traditional way of studying the subject
matter.
Even though the subject matter itself is not that abstruse, the way it is presented in
tradition necessitates a bridge for modern day students. This book provides that bridge.
My professional background in computer system engineering helped a lot in this.
2. To re-connect the study of i•*6 }"t$…'o6 / to QU"j"3/.
As said in its prayer verse, the purpose of studying i•*6 }"t$…'o6 / is to get
introduced to Pā ini’s Z"$%& system presented in QU"j"3/.
However, i•*6 }"t$…'o6 / is commonly being studied today merely by memorizing
of all its u|*§s, without any cross-reference to QU"j"3/. By such manner of study, which has
become a convention among the majority of Z"$%& students, Pā ini’s Z"$%& system cannot
be properly understood.
Consequently, there has been much unfounded criticism of i•*6 }"t$…'o6 /, because
by studying it in this manner it does not give its students the benefit of studying Pā ini’s
Z"$%& system.
Whereas, what is actually at fault is how i•*6 }"t$…'o6 / is being taught, not
i•*6 }"t$…'o6 / itself. i•*6 }"t$…'o6 / is in fact a very sophisticated, well calculated, and time-
tested book of #*¨3" (studying method) for QU"j"3/. Other texts such as, $"*2$", #‡'"u|*§,
etc., are reference books alone. They do not provide this #*¨3".
To summarize, the proper way of studying i•*6 }"t$…'o6 / is to take it as a #*¨3"
book to QU"j"3/, and keep referring to QU"j"3/ in each step of the study. This method of
studying i•*6 }"t$…'o6 / is presented in this book.

Q4R+ST 6
U3' –( Four aspects of this book:
In the tradition, the four aspects of the book have to be made clear at the beginning
of the book itself, so that the reader can determine whether he or she should proceed to
read the book further. The four aspects of this book are as follows:
1. Q*q$"%/ – Who should read this book:

Anybody who is interested in Sanskrit grammar. Since I use a lot of terminology
used in the tradition and also of my own, the reader has preferably finished studying
“Sanskrit Grammar for Vedanta Students” volumes 1 to 3.
2. *us35 – Subject matter of this book:

Z"$%&', ( Sanskrit grammar, in general, and in particular, ^"*&4/3-Z"$%&', ( the
Pā inian grammar system developed by sage ^"*&*4 through which the entire Sanskrit
grammar is described in `k form.
3. #39—4' –( Usefulness of studying this book:

By completing the study of this book, three kinds of benefit will be gained by the
student.
The first benefit is clear understanding of Sanskrit language.
The second benefit is logical, objective thinking, blessed by ^"*&*4’s systematic and
ingenious presentation of the grammar rules.
The third benefit is getting proper introduction to other traditional scriptures in
Sanskrit, such as Vedanta 2"¥, Ayurveda, Jyotish, etc., as said in the last verse composed
by the author of i•*6 }"t$…'o6 /.
2"¥"t%1 #*uU"4" R"i"4" S9^$"*%$" « $| T" u%o%"—14 i•*6 }"t$…'o6 / -
4. ¬+5 – Connection:
There are many connections between many elements. The study of Sanskrit
grammar requires a lot of effort, and questions can tend to arise such as “why should I
2
Introduction
study Sanskrit?”, “Am I wasting my time studying Sanskrit?”, “I came to study Vedanta,
not Sanskrit”, etc., Therefore, to maintain enthusiasm for the study of Sanskrit grammar,
the student must have clear understanding of all of these connections and keep them in
mind whilst studying.
The connections are between:

u1o"t2"¥"*& and -| T' –( the original scriptures of Vedanta are in Sanskrit. Therefore,
in order to study directly from the original text, knowledge of Sanskrit language is an
inevitable requirement. (Note that the scriptures state that the Vedas are always in
Sanskrit, in every $®).
It should be noted here that one does not necessarily require knowledge of Sanskrit
language to gain the vision of Vedanta; provided that the teacher is capable of
communicating the vision effectively without using Sanskrit, and the student has adequate
preparedness and commitment.
However, if one has the opportunity to study under a traditional teacher of Vedanta
who teaches from the original texts in Sanskrit, then the benefits of learning the Sanskrit
language cannot be overstated.
(
-| T' and ^"*&4/3-Z"$%&' –( Sanskrit grammar can be studied using any system.
However, if the student is interested in studying traditional scriptures such as u1o"t2"¥,
study of the grammar should also be through a traditional system because this helps one’s
mind tune into the x*ss’ minds. And among all of the traditional systems of Z"$%&, the
only survivor today is ^"*&4/3-Z"$%&'. (
(
^"*&4/3-Z"$%&' and i•*6 }"t$…'o6 / – As the author of i•*6 }"t$…'o6 / says in its
opening prayer, i•*6 }"t$…'o6 / is meant for introducing ^"*&4/3-Z"$%& to those who are
new to it. i•*6 }"t$…'o6 / offers a well planned #*¨3" (studying method) to QU"j"3/. When
taught properly, i•*6 }"t$…'o6 / has proven over the last centuries to be a #*¨3" text
fulfilling its purpose.
3
i•*6 }"t$…'o6 / and this book – Even though i•*6 }"t$…'o6 / is meant for a student
who is new to traditional scriptures, it is still very difficult to study when one is foreign or
new to this traditional study method. This book bridges the gap between i•*6 }"t$…'o6 /
and the student by presenting the subject matter in a manner the student can grasp easily.
This book and the student – When the Q*q$"%/, who is interested in the *us3, studies
this book, he or she will gain the three-fold #39—4s described above.

The ancient sage grammarian ^"*&*4 authored a system in which the rules of the
entire Sanskrit language were presented. The system is in the form of small books, which
require a teaching ^%†%" (lineage) to unfold the meaning of the books. Students and
teachers in this ^%†%" are also called ^"*&4/3"5.
There were nine such systems in the ancient time. Hanumanji was a scholar of all

Introduction
k ^"l5
Introduction to QU"j"3/ `
Pā ini’s QU"j"3/ `k ^"l5
QU"j"3/ `k ^"l5 was composed by ^"*&*4-'*6 45. The subject matter of QU"j"3/ `k ^"l5 is
Z"$%&. “QU"j"3/” means “that which contains eight (QU4)( chapters (Qj"3)”. “ `k -^"l”
means “a book of sūtras”.
QU"j"3/ `k ^"l5 contains about 4000 sūtras. Each of the eight chapters (Qj"3) has
four quarters (^"os). Each quarter contains different numbers of sūtras. For example, the
sūtra “6.1.88 u|*}%1*S«“ is found in the 6th Qj"3, 1st ^"o, and it is the 88th sūtra in that ^"o.
What is `k ?
Six criteria are to be fulfilled for a literary work to be called sūtra, which are told in
the following śloka:
6 ' «(
Q®"“%' *¡Ïq "%u*ÒÂT9'Ó
QÆ9n'4u± S `k `k *uo9 *uÊ5-
“Those who know sūtras ( `k *uo5) know (*uÊ5) sūtra ( `k ')( to be: 1. Q®-Q“%', ( 2.
Q *¡Ïq', ( 3. "%uT, ( 4. *uÂT9'Ó
6 ', ( 5. QÆ9n', ( and 6. Q4u±'”(
(
1. Q®-Q“%' (that which uses the fewest number of syllables)
(
Q®"*4 (small, few) Q“%"*& (syllables) 3Š TT Q®"“% `k ' «( RºÔ/*‹ '" 5 (116B)
Since the entire 4000 sūtras are designed to be committed to memory, a sūtra
should use the minimum number of syllables possible. There is a saying “Qqy'"`"i"•u14
6
^`9„u 'Õ"t1 u•3"$%&"5« (by shortening the length by half '"`", grammarians consider it as a
celebration like forthe birth of an awaited son.)“
To achieve this Q®"“%•, one of the techniques Pā ini employs is “Q4u|6 *§5”,
repetition of a word from previous to subsequent sūtras for the sake of the intended
interpretation.
9
(
2. Q *¡Ïq' (that which is not ambiguous)
( *o‹ ( (to be doubtful, uncertain) + ´ = *+Ïq (that which is doubted)
'+
( Q *+Ïq' «( 4ØT°7s
4 *+Ïq' p*T 6 '" 5 (NT)
A sūtra should not be subject to ambiguity. Even if the number of syllables is
minimum, clarity should not be compromised.
(
3. "%uT (that which has significant meaning)
(
"% (essence, power) + 'T^• 6 (one who has ~) "%uT (
"%5 QŠ Q*Æ p*T "%uT ( `k ' (
Each sūtra is meant for making changes, such as giving a substitute, defining a term,
negating a rule, etc. Sūtra should have essence, or the ability to make a difference. In other
words, a sūtra should not be meaningless even when fulfilling other criteria.
4. *uÂT9'Ó' (
6 (that which has multiple applicability)
*uÂT5 (on all sides) 'Ó (
6 (facing) 3Š TT *uÂT9' 6
Ó `k ' «( RºÔ/*‹ '" 5 (116B)
Applicability of sūtra should be universal in many different occasions. To keep the
number of sūtras and the number of the syllables of the sūtra to a minimum, the scope of
sūtra should be maximum.

Introduction
`k #n1o"5 (Types of Sūtras)
Sūtras in QU"j"3/ can be categorized into six types.

These six types of Pā ini Sūtras are told in the following verse:
!" S ^*%n"s" S *u*q*4 y3' ‘u S «
(
Q*To129›*q$"%š s¸*uq (
`k i“&' -
"There are six types of sūtras. They are the sūtras which give !" (definition), ^*%n"s"
(interpretation), *u*q (injunction), *43' (restriction), Q*To12 (extension), and Q*q$"% (topic)."
(
1. !"- `k ' (Sūtra which gives definition of a technical term)
A !", name, is given to a !/, the named. There is a certain relationship ( ¬+)
between !" and !/. This is called !"- *!- ¬+5.
In the metalanguage system of Pā inisūtras, !" is a technical term, an artificially
given name in order to achieve Q®"“%•, etc. In QU"j"3/, the !"- *!- ¬+ is established
by !"- `k . This is said: !"- *!- ¬+-QuR9q$ !" `k ' «(
Three things are to be known in understanding !"- `k .
1). !" (name)
2). !/ (named, meaning of the name)
3). !"-#o125 (usage of !")
1) !" (name)
Most of the !"s in sūtras are artificially given with the fewest number of letters,
such as •, *•, •,6 n, *», etc. These !"s themselves do not convey any meanings.
Some !"s were taken from other grammar systems already existed at Pā ini’s time
or before. In some exceptional cases, the meaning of the !" is the same as in the natural
language. They are called Qµ"‡ y- !", or '‹" !".
11
2) !/ (named, meaning of the name)

The literal meaning of !/ is: “that which has !" is !/”. What a !" indicates is a
!/. In a !" `k ', ( all the words other than !" are usually !/. For example, among all the
( 4"*
words in sūtra 1.3.2, i.e. “ƒô12 1 QS Q4 6 $5 pT”,( “pT”( is !" and the rest are !/.
3) !"-#o125 (usage of !")

After giving a name to a thing, the name should be used. This is conveyed by the
following u"À': ( “3" 3" !" " " ÝiuT/ « (whatever is a name, that has a purpose.)” !"s
(
which are defined in !" `k ' are utilized in other sūtras. Those sūtras are to be known as
!"-#o125.
For example:
1.1.60 Qo2y4 i9^5 «
1) !" i9^5
2) !/ Disappearance (Qo2y4')( of an existing thing
3) !"#o125 1.3.9 TŠ i9^5 «, 8.3.19 i9^5 2"$ÞŠ «, etc.

4. *43' `k ' (Sūtra which restricts the application of another sūtra)
The following sentence gives the definition of *43' `k ': (

* }1 *T w%8'"&5 *43'"3 nu*T «
While something is already achieved (* }1 7/1 *T 7/1) by one sūtra, another sūtra is
still being started (w%8'"&5 1/1), or taught, in the same scope. Then that sūtra is (nu*T III/1)
for restricting (*43'"3 4/1), the application.
One of the characteristics of *43' `k is “‘u-$"%”, the word “‘u” in the sūtra or in the
u|*§. The word “‘u” means “only”. This word excludes all other possibilities.
For example, the sūtra 1.4.7 21s9 ø *Ó « gives all p-ending #"*T^*o$ the *•- !". Then
the next sūtra 1.4.8 ^*T5 '" ‘u « tells that ^*T gets *•- !" only (‘u) in '" . #"*T^*o$s like
./^*T and 4|^*T are '" s which end with ^*T word. They can get *•- !" by 1.4.7 21s9 ø *Ó «,
even without 1.4.8 ^*T5 '" ‘u «, since they are p-ending #"*T^*o$s. Still `k $"% (Pā ini)
started a new sūtra 1.4.8 ^*T5 '" ‘u « to exclude “^*T” which is not in a '" from getting
*•- !".
Another example is 8.2.23 390"tŠ i9^5 « and 8.2.24 %"T ( Š «. The first sūtra tells
“the last letter of a conjunct consonant-ending word should be elided.” The next sūtra tells
“after %,( only (
should be elided.” This implies that if any letters other than (
come after %,(
(
they are not elided. In other words, “%"T ^%Š Š ‘u i9^5, 4 QÕŠ «”. % (followed by (
becomes a conjunct consonant and the (

can be elided by the first sūtra 8.2.23 390"tŠ
i9^5 « without the second sūtra 8.2.24 %"T ( Š «. When that is the case, if the sūtra is not
understood as *43' `k , it will become redundant. Therefore the second sūtra should be
understood as *43' `k to exclude letters other than (
after % (from the elision. Because of
this sūtra, forms such as ù$y ( and ùú"y' from
( (
ù— y are possible.

5. ^*%n"s"- `k ' ( (Sūtra which tells how other sūtras should be interpreted)
The following sentence gives the definition of ^*%n"s" `k ': (

( ), a sūtra which brings a rule (Zuv"-
When there is no settled rule (QZuv"3"' 7/1
†"o$- `k ')( is ^*%n"s" `k '. (
For example, when there is more than one substitute enjoined in one place, that
situation is called “QZuv"”, the situation without settled regulations. In such a situation,
^*%n"s" `k s can provide a solution by giving interpretations. 1.1.50 v"4›1 t%T'5« is a
^*%n"s" `k which tells “pick the closest one in terms of v"4, etc.”. If that does not work,
another ^*%n"s" `k 1.3.10 3‡" û'4o16 25 '"4"' «( teaches “It should be in a respective order
when the numbers are the same.”
^*%n"s"-#$%&' (
Unlike * }"t$…'o6 /, i•*6 }"t$…'o6 / does not have ^*%n"s"#$%&, a section for teaching
main ^*%n"s" `k s. Since having a good grasp of some ^*%n"s" `k s is very much essential for
understanding all Pā ini-sūtras, it is ideal to have a collection of important ^*%n"s" `k s in
one place. In this guide book, the collection of important ^*%n"s" `k s are categorized and
explained. This section will be a very important reference as the study proceeds.

A. Interpretations of 5th, 6th, and 7th case-ending words
When a word in 5th, 6th, or 7th case in a sūtra is not understood by the meaning of *un*´
in the natural language, the following three sūtras give the special meaning of 5th, 6th, and
7th case used only in Pā ini-sūtras.
5 6 7
• 1.1.49 sé/ v"431 90" «

This sūtra brings the meaning “(the substitute should be done) in the place of ...” to
the word in 6th case. This is accomplished by bringing a word “v"4”1 in the u|*§.
• y «
1.1.66 T*¼*ü*T *4*oýU 1 ^kuŠ
This ^*%n"s" `k gives a special 7th case meaning known as “^% â'/”. A word told in
7th case can be interpreted as “when … follows”. In u|*§, an extra word “^%1 7/1” can
be added to convey “when … is the one which follows,”. After adding the extra
word, the 7th case is understood as *T â'/.
• 6
1.1.67 T¼"*oe§%Š «
This ^*%n"s" `k is similar to the previous sūtra and known as “^ku^y Í'/”. The only
( 5th case” instead of 7th case and “ƒ§%Š” instead of “^kuŠ
differences are “T¼"T = y ”.
A word told in 5th case can be interpreted as “when … precedes”. In u|*§, “ƒ§%Š 6/1”
is added. ƒ§% and ^% are ^3"y3, synonyms. Hence “^%Š 6/1” can also be seen with this
^ku^y Í'/.
After adding the extra word, this 5th case is understood as *oÏ3901 ^Í'/ since “ƒ§%
(the following)” is a word requiring a referential point in 5th case.
30
Introduction
This ^*%n"s" `k gives an extra technical meaning to 6th case when the 6th case is not
understood in the senses of the natural language.
This kind of 6th case is called ^"*%n"*s$-sé/, or can be called v"431 90" sé/.
[^*%n"s" `k ']( 1.1.49 sé/ v"41390" «

connect with the 6th case ending word.

In this teaching of Z"$%& of Pā ini, that 6th case is heard, and whose connection is
not determined, that 6th case is the one whose connection is to the word “v"4 1”.
“v"4”1 is in Q*q$%&1 â'/, meaning “in the place”. The v"431 90" sé/ is now ¬+1 sé/,
connected to “v"4 1”. Together the meaning is “in the place of …”
For example, in the sūtra 8.2.39 ði" —29›t1 « ~ ôŠ, it is understood that ôŠ 6/1 is
( , the word to which it is
connected to Qt1. Thus ^*%n"s" is not required. However for ði"' 6/3
connected is not told. In this case, this ^*%n"s" is required. The word “v"4 1 7/1” is supplied
and connected to the 6th case-ending word. The whole sentence is understood as follows:
( (v"4 1 7/1) —25 1/3 (wo12"5 1/3 Š56 III/3) «
ôŠ 6/1 Qt1 7/1 ði"' 6/3
(
In the place of ði ( at the end of ô, —2 should be the substitute.
Note that 1st case is understood as *u*q, such as wo12 and w0' without any ^*%n"s". A
(
verb such as Š"T III/1 and nu*T III/1 is added to the u|*§ to complete the sentence.

The next ^*%n"s" `k gives an extra technical meaning to 7th case when the 7th case is
not understood in the senses of the natural language.

Introduction
The role of “p*T” in Sanskrit – switching between Q‡ y^% and 2²^%
The indeclinable word p*T acts just as quotation marks do in English. The function
of p*T is to switch words or sentences between Q‡^y % (committed to the meaning) and 2²^%
(committed to the sounds).
In the natural language, words and sentences are Q‡^y % by default. Thus p*T converts
Q‡^y % to 2²^%. “0•” p*T 5 QuoT –( He said, “You may go”.
y «( tells that
In sūtra literature, words and sentences are 2²^% by default. 4.2.32 Q ñ1 $
ñ$ ( should be suffixed after Q* . Being 2²^%, Q* is understood as a string of letters: Q, 0, ( 4, (
p, not as the meaning of Q* , fire. Thus p*T converts 2²^% to Q‡^y %.
(
In the case of T*¼4 p*T, (
the p*T converts T*¼4 from “T, ( Q, , ( ', ( p, 4“( (2²^%) to “To (
with 7th case-ending”. To ( is a pronoun which can represent any word. Final meaning of
(
“T*¼4 p*T” is: “any word in 7th case”
6
The same applies for 1.1.67 T¼"*oe§%Š «, also.
33
This ^*%n"s" `k gives an extra technical meaning to 5th case by adding the word
“ƒ§%Š” connected to the 5th case-ending word.
There is no conventional name for this ^"*%n"*s$^Í'/. Yet, we shall call it ^ku^y Í'/ by
its context.

Introduction
B. Interpretations of words in '"4"*q$%& (Tot*u*q and To"*o*u*q)
When two words are in apposition ( '"4"*q$%&), and one word is adjective (*u21s&)
to another as substantive (*u21³), some interpretations may be required. The following two
^*%n"s" `k s give such interpretations.
• 1.1.72 314 *u*qÆotŠ «

This sūtra gives “Qt” as an Qj"‹"% (supplement word) between the two words in
apposition.
This sūtra is commonly known as “Tot*u*q”.
• (
(u"*Ty$')( 3*¼4 *u*qÆo"o"u¢œ‹&1 «
This vārtika gives “w*o” as an Qj"‹"% between the two words in apposition when

35
[^*%n"s" `k ']( 1.1.72 314 *u*qÆotŠ « ~ €Š –^Š

When *u*q is told with adjective, that adjective is represents for that which ends
with that adjective, and also for that adjective itself.

• 314 3/1 – By which (adjective); it is understood as “314 *u21s&14”; in $%&1 T|T/3".

( taken as adjective to Q¹ without this ^*%n"s" `k ,
“QT5” and “Q¹Š” are in apposition. If QT is
the Q¹ should be only “Q”, which is not desirable. By this ^*%n"s" `k 1.1.72 314 *u*q5 TotŠ «,
( a !" for that which ends with QT, ( and also for QT itself”.
it is understood as “QT is ( In its
u|*§, the word “Qt” is supplied to the “QT”( to convey this meaning. Then they all together
are understood as “QotŠ 6/1 Q¹Š 6/1” or “Qot"¹Š 6/1”.
The formula is:
(
adjective: QT (short Q) + supplement: Qt (ending) + noun: Q¹
= Qot (short Q ending) + Q¹
= Qot"¹ (short Q ending Q¹)
36
Introduction
The next ^*%n"s" `k is Qû"o to the Tot*u*q. This operation is known as To"*o*u*q.
When two words in apposition are in ^% â'/, and the adjective is referring to letters
(
(Qi-œ‹&), the adjective is representative for a group of words beginning (w*o) with that
letters.
(u"*Ty$')( 3*¼*µ*qÆo"o"u¢œ‹&1 «
When Qi ( is mentioned as an adjective, and told in 7th case, then it should be
understood as “beginning with that letter”.

In which case *u*q is to take place when ^%*4*'§ is Qi ( (letter), and it is adjective to
another word, then it should be understood as “when the word beginning with that letter
is following”.
For example, in the case of 7.3.101 QT5 6/1 o/•5y 1/1 3*È 7/1 « ~ Q¹Š 6/1, “#e31 7/1” is
added as Q¹ presupposes #e3 following it. Now, these two words “3*È” and “#e31” are in

them together, “3È"o… 7/1 #e31 7/1” (when 3È-beginning

The formula is:

D. Deciding wo12, when there are many wo12s
When there is more than one wo12 enjoined by a sūtra, how to decide which one of
the wo12s should be used is told by the following two ^*%n"s" `k s.
wo12 A, B, C, and D Which one of the wo12s to use?
• 1.1.50 v"4 1 Qt%T'5 «

This sūtra tells “when there is more than one possible choice, choose the closest
one.”
• ( o16 25 '"4"' «(

43
[^*%n"s" `k ']( 1.1.50 v"41›t%T'5 «

(
When there are many possible wo12s, the most similar to the v"*44 should be
chosen.
v"4 1 7/1 Qt%T'5 1/1 «

2 words in `k , no Q4u|6 *§ is required.
• v"4 1 7/1 – v"4 here means # ¹, possibility of multiple wo12s; in *T â'/.
• (
Qt%T'5 1/1 – Qt% here means ”2, similar. To that, the superlative T*}T suffix T'^ is
added. The meaning is “the closest”. In which way it is the closest is discussed below.

When there is possibility (of more than one wo12), the most similar one should be
the wo12.
By which aspect will the similarity be measured? There are four aspects for
measuring the similarity:
4 types of similarity (wt3y'):(
1. v"4T5 (by the point of articulation)

v"4 is $Ál, and p, whose v"4 is T" . The closest wo12 in terms of v"4 should be ‘, whose
v"4 is $ÁlT" , with the help of this ^*%n"s".
Other examples are 6.1.88 u|*}%1*S«, 6.1.101 Q$5 u&Ë o/•5y «, etc.
2. Q‡Ty 5 (by the meaning)

6 (
For example, in the case of “^%" S Q … *u±" S ^%*u±" (KT)«”, by 6.3.34 *¥3"5 ûo
6 6 ^%" becomes û6 "u, like masculine. Among all
™ ( '"4"*q$%&1 *¥3"'^k%&/*#3"*os«,

the words in masculine, a word which is the closest to the v"*44, ( namely ^%", in terms of

meaning.

Introduction
H. Interpretation when •€, o/•y, and ‚ 6T are enjoined as wo12
This sūtra is not covered in i•*6 }"t$…'o6 /.
[^*%n"s" `k ']( 1.2.28 QSš « ~ •€o/•y‚ 6T5

The word “QS5 6/1” should be added in u|*§ when wo12 is •€, o/• y or ‚ 6T, and the
place of replacement is not clear.
QS5 6/1 S 0 « ~ •€-o/•-y ‚ 6T5 1/1

2 words in the `k , 1 word as Q4u|6 *§.
( *uq/3T1 III/1 T` 0 “QS5 6/1” p*T 0 s t' 1/1
[SK] •€-o/•-y ‚ 6T-2²•5 3/3 3` 0 QS 1/1 ( ô' 1/1
( ƒ^*TéT1 III/1 «
Wherever a vowel is enjoined by the word “•€, o/• y or ‚ 6T”, in that place, the 6th
case-ending word “QS5 6/1” is supplied.
For example, in the case of 1.2.47 •€5 1/1 4^ 6 $1 7/1 #"*T^*o$Š 6/1 «, the word •€ 1/1
brings “QS5 6/1“ by 1.2.28 QSš« in u|*§. Then To* *q between QS5 6/1 and #"*T^*o$Š 6/1
(
should be brought by ^*%n"s" `k 1.1.72 314 *u*q5 TotŠ«, resulting in “for QS-ending
#"*T^*o$”. And the v"4 should be specified as the last letter by ^*%n"s" `k 1.1.52 Qi9›•Š «.
The final meaning of the sūtra will be: “•€ is the substitute in the place of the last letter of
(
an QS-ending #"*T^*o$ in neuter.”
Another example is 8.2.84 %"}kT 1 S « ~ u"ÀŠ »1 5 ‚ 6T5. In the case of ‹1 n0u4, ( the *» part
is Q4. ( By 1.1.52 Qi9›•Š«, the last letter could be the place for the substitute ‚ 6T, resulting
in {æ with 1.1.50 v"4›1 t%T'5«. To avoid this Q*4U# ¹, a 6th case ending word QS5 is added
by this ^*%n"s" 1.2.28 QSš«, to specify the v"*44. (
53
6. Q*To12 `k ' ( (Sūtra which extends the attributes of one thing to another)
Q*To12 means extension. Q*To12 `k extends the scope of a rule to areas where it was
not previously applicable.
For example, 1.1.56 v"*4uo"o129›4* q… « is an Q*To12 `k which gives the q'ys of v"*4
(what is going to be substituted) to an wo12 (substitute). To illustrate, “Þ^”( is an wo12 to a
(
$| T-#e3 “ó"”. By virtue of the sūtra 1.1.56 v"*4uo"o129›4* q… «, the q'ys of ó", such as the
(
status of being a $| T-#e3, the status of being a *$T, ( and its meaning “having done …”, etc.,
are extended to the wo12 Þ^. ( Thus Þ^ also
( enjoys all the same status and meaning.
(
Q*To12 `k s usually have uT-ending words, such as v"*4uT, ( ûT
6 , ( Qt"*ouT, ( T| T, ( *$ÒT, (
*™ÒT, ( etc., This T*}T#e3 “uT”( conveys the meaning “like ~”. Thus “~ uT”( means “like ~”.
(
The uT-ending word, being an adverb, is QZ3. In commentary, this is the typical style for
(
Q*To12 `k s: “wo125 v"*4uT nu*T «“ (the substitute becomes like the v"*4).
(
Nominalization of a uT-ending word (which is an adverb) is done by adding “n"u”
(the status of ~). The word will become “~ uo (n"u” (the status of being like ~). For example,
v"*4u "u, û6 "u, Qt"*ou "u, T| "u, etc., are the forms often seen in grammar books.
(
Q*To12 `k s can come without uT-ending (
( 6 »"*o89›*Ø&4 *™T
words as well. 1.2.1 0"™$ «(
and 1.2.5 Q 390"* » ( *$T «( are Q*To12 `k s which give *™Ò "u (the status of being like *™T)( and
*$Ò "u (the status of being like *$T)( respectively.
(
7. *4s1q `k ' (Sūtra which prohibits the application of another sūtra)
“*4s1q” means negation, or prohibition. It is also called #*Ts1q. A sūtra which negates
or prohibits the effect of other sūtras under certain conditions is *4s1q `k . This is said in the
following sentence:
^ku y `k $"3y*4s1q$ `k *4s1q `k ' «(
( 1.3.3 ‹i•' «gives
6 "5 « is a *4s1q `k to 1.3.3 ‹i•' «.
For example, 1.3.4 4 *un´… T¼ ( pT-(
6 "5 « prohibits giving the pT-( !" to the last
!" to the last consonants. 1.3.4 4 *un´… T¼
consonants when they are Tu0y, , ( or ' of
( *un*´.

Introduction
ƒ„0y and Qû"o
The concept of ƒ„0y and Qû"o is used throughout Pā ini sūtras to present rules
which cover the same scope of operation. ƒ„0y and Qû"o are relative terms. ƒ„0y is a
general rule, while Qû"o is a special rule whose scope is totally within the scope of ƒ„0y.
When such a relationship is observed between two rules, Qû"o takes effect by negating
ƒ„0y.
ƒ„0y5 Qû"o5
( "u$"25) (*4%u$"25)
Qû"o is called *4%u$"2 or Q4u$"2, that which does not have its own scope. On the
6
contrary, ƒ„0y is called "u$"2, that which has its own domain of operation. The Z°*§ of
ƒ„0y shows its nature: ƒ„|·T1 e·T1 R"q$- "u1 « That which is given up when there is
presence of its negator (R"q$ = Qû"o) is called ƒ„0y.
55
Difference between *4s1q, Qû"o, and *43' `k
*4s1q `k is told with reference to a *u*q `k . *4s1q `k prohibits the operation of the *u*q
by stating the word “4” and also certain things for which the *u*q is prohibited. For
example:
*u*q5 – All the residents of this gurukulam get an apple.
*4s1q5 – Teachers do not get.
Qû"o `k enjoins a different $"3y to certain things which are in the subset of the scope
of ƒ„0y `k . For example:
ƒ„0y*u*q5 – All the residents of this gurukulam get an apple.
Qû"o5 – Teachers get an orange.
What is told by *43' `k is already * }, accomplished by *u*q `k , thus it may look

redundant. (* }1 *T w%8'"4 *43'"3«) The purpose is to exclude any other things. For
example:
*u*q5 – All the residents of this gurukulam get an apple.
*43'5 – When it rains, students get an apple.

Introduction
Introduction to i•*6 }"t$…'o/

6
i•*6 }"t$…'o6 / is a small (i•)6 i.e. abridged version of * }"t$…'o6 /, which is a #*¨3"œ½
(a book providing a studying method) to ^"*&4/3Z"$%&.
Two ^%†%" (traditions) to study ^"*&4/3Z"$%&
1. #"S/4-^%†%"
In this tradition, the whole QU"j"3/ is memorized first, before studying the meaning.
It is referred to as Qé"j"3/-¨'-Q4 6 "%/, that which follows the order of Qé"j"3/.
$"*2$" u|*§5 is the main book to be studied in this ^%†%".
About $"*2$" u|*§5
$"*2$" u|*§5 was composed by —3"*oe5 and u"'45 in the 7th century. This book gives
u|*§5, a short commentary on each sūtra in the order of QU"j"3/ sūtras.
There are two main commentaries on $"*2$" u|*§5
1 R*6 }5 (8th century)
1. Õ" 5 by —4Œ
2. ô'h%/ by ‹%o§5 (12th century)
#‡'"u|*§5, the first (#‡') round (wu|*§) of grammar study, by ÚÛo§*—!" 56 is based on
$"*2$" u|*§5. This is used as a handy reference because it gives ô•1o5, Q4u|6 *§5, '" "‡5y , `k "‡5y ,
ƒo"‹%&', ( and Hindi translation for each sūtra.
2. 4Z^%†%"
It is referred to as #*¨3"-Q4 6 "%/, or –^* *}-Q4 6 "%/, that which follows method to
achieve certain forms.
The famous work under this type of study is * }"t$…'o6 /.
About * }"t$…'o6 /
* }"t$…'o6 / was written by n 9—/o/*“T5 in the 17th century.
57
This book follows #*¨3", the method, or discussion of achieving the final form. Here
sūtras are presented in the process of –^* *}, achieving the final form, and not in the order
of Qé"j"3/. The entire 4000 sūtras, 2000 q"Ts6 , and ƒ&"*o sūtras are presented in this manner.
Its commentary for each sūtra consists of two parts: u|*§ part and –^* *} part, which
will be understood when actually studied.
The book consists of different topics such as !"#$%&', ( *+#$%&', ( *T™t#$%&', ( etc.,
Under each topic there are selected examples which are unique by nature and are well-
calculated to show the features of the sūtras. It is easy to study and teach this book
because one can safely follow the book without going wrong.
There are two main commentaries on * }"t$…'o6 /:

!" there means “technical term” used only in this Pā ini grammar system. This
section lays out all the letters and their varieties by introducing related technical terms.
In this section, '"‹1Â% `k "*&, 14 `k s (13 !" `k s and 1 *u*q `k ) and one u"*Ty$ are taught.
Some important *2“" `k s are also taught.
All the `k s as well as u|*§s in this section are very important. It is strongly
recommended to commit this whole section to memory.
2. *+#$%&' ( Three types of *+ rules are taught in this section.

– QS ( *+5 (vowel sandhi)

Introduction
Goals of studying i•*6 }"t$…'o/

6
The student should be able to explain:

• What the sūtra does
• Meaning of each word in the sūtra and anuvItti
• The –^* *} orally as well as in writing
• The topic of the sūtra in i•*6 }"t$…'o6 /
• The topic of the sūtra in QU"j"3/
Taking notes following i•*6 }"t$…'o/

6
The sūtras are to be studied one by one in the order of i•*6 }"t$…'o6 /. One sūtra is to
be written per notebook page, with the following items detailed for each sūtra:
• Type of the sūtra (given by n •'/Z"¤" or by the teacher)
• Sūtra number and the sūtra (with sandhi)
• Q4u|6 *§5 (words taken from previous sūtras)
• ô•1o5 (resolution of sandhi), and case and number of each word of the sūtra and
Q4u|6 *§5
• #"*T^*o$, resolution of '" , $| ot, and T*}T"t (if any), and meaning of *un*´ of each
word
• Meaning of the sūtra
• Meaning of the LSK u|*§5
• (
ƒo"‹%&' (examples) with step by step –^* *} with sūtras
The student is expected to prepare the notebook beforehand as much as possible.
In the i•*6 }"t$…'o6 / book, write sūtra numbers (in Arabic font) in front of the sūtra,
and Q4u|6 *§5 after the sūtra, so that the number and meaning of the sūtra can be easily
understood and memorized.
E.g., “6.1.77 p$9 3&*S «"« «##« ~ *‹T"3"'”(

Summary of this #$%&
1. Presenting all the letters by '"‹1Â% `k s

First, '"‹1Â% `k s are taught to present all the letters in Sanskrit.
There are only 42 letters pronounced in '"‹1Â% `k s. These 42 letters can represent all
the letters in the language by the device taught in the following sūtras.
2. Making #e"‹"%s
#e"‹"%s, abbreviations for certain groups of letters, are used as an important device
throughout QU"j"3/ `k s. #e"‹"%s are defined by the sūtra 1.1.71 w*o%•14 ‹1T" «.
pT, ( indicatory letter, is another important device in QU"j"3/ `k s. Since pT is
( used for
(
making #e"‹"%, the definition of pT has been taught beforehand. 1.3.3 ‹i•' «( is one of the
(
!" `k s for pT and (
1.3.9 TŠ i9^5« teaches how pT should be treated.
3. Varieties of sounds
One sound can have up to 18 varieties. These 18 varieties are categorized into three.
One is length, another is €%, intonation, and the other is nasal and non-nasal.
The length is three-fold. This is told by 1.2.27 ù$"i9› €o/•‚y 6T5«. The €% is also
6
three-fold, told by three sūtras: 1.2.29 ƒí •7o"T5«, 1.2.30 4/S •%4o"§5«, and 1.2.31 '"‹"%5 €*%T5«.
The nasal sound is defined by 1.1.8 'Ó 6
6 4"* $"uS49›44"* $5«.
4. Definition of u&y, similar letter
One letter can be a similar letter to another. This similarity of the letters is defined
(
6 "Š#3É u&y' «.
by 1.1.9 TÞ
5. Letters which represent u&ys ( u&y-œ"‹$)
One letter can represent its similar letters, u&ys. This is taught by the sūtra 1.1.69
Q&*6 o„u&yŠ S"#e35«. By this, the 42 letters told in '"‹1Â% `k s can represent all the letters in
Sanskrit.

This is a side note:

One may object that this 1.3.3 ‹i•' «( sūtra depends on #e"‹"% ‹i ( which is defined
(
by 1.1.7 w*o%•14 ‹1T" «, in which pT letter is used. Thus there is a mutual dependency,
QÕ9Õ".3, between the two sūtras.

• ( order to define #e"‹"%
1.1.7 w*o%•14 ‹1T" « requires pT in
To resolve this QÕ9Õ".3 problem, 1.3.3 ‹i•' «( can initially be looked at in a
different way.
‹i ( in 1.3.3 ‹i•' «( can be taken as the last sūtra of '"‹1Â% `k . In that case, the
( Š"T
meaning of the sūtra becomes: “‹i”( p*T `k 1 Q•' pT ( ( The last letter in “‹i”( sūtra is
«.
termed pT. ( At this stage, only one pT letter
( “i”( has been made.
Then, by 1.1.7 w*o%•14 ‹1T" «, the #e"‹"% ‹i ( is achieved with the w*o letter ‹ ( and
(
Q• pT letter i,( and it indicates all the consonants. At this stage, only one #e"‹"% “‹i”( has
been made.
Now, with the #e"‹"% ‹i,( we can come back to 1.3.3 ‹i•' «( again to give pT-( !" to
all the consonants at the end. Then we can also come back to 1.1.7 w*o%•14 ‹1T" « again to
make all kinds of #e"‹"%s.

After defining pT, ( it should be told that the pT is

[LSK] # ´Š 6/1 Qo2y4' 1/1 ( Š"T III/1
( «
The disappearance of an existing thing is termed i9^.
# ´ means that which is applicable for the operation of disappearance.
Why the extra word “# ´Š” is added by the u|*§$"%?

(
Because even a non-existent thing is also not seen, Qo2y4. For example, a $| T-#e3 *ò^ (

There is elision for that (pT).(
TŠ 6/1 i9^5 1/1 «

• TŠ 6/1 – #"*T^*o$ is To (, a pronoun, which refers to something under discussion.

In this sūtra, “#e3” is used in the sense of “what is ordained”, not as we know in

to $'y*&, by using the same ƒ^ 0y and q"T 6 with different #e3 which is *T™ ( in $'y*&. From
this, we understood that “#e3” is an object of #*T + p&. (
Now, the meaning of the combination of #*T + p&, ( which has many possible

the meaning of #*T + p&. ( The common meaning between #*T + p& and
( *u + q" is “to ordain,

Now we understood that “#e3” means “what is ordained, what is commanded”,

namely, wo12, w0', and #e3.

*+ is a synonym to *‹T", the closest proximity of letters (u&"y4"' Q*T235 *ü*q5), as
we saw in the *‹T"- !"- `k .
*+ also means a phonetic change when two sounds meet without a gap.

93
Now questions arise: Where did the word “v"4 1”, which is connected to the 6th case
ending word, come from? How do we know that the “Q*S” in 7th case means “when QS (
follows”? These interpretations of the *un*´ are not the meanings of *un*´ as per natural
language. We need special meanings of *un*´ for reading sūtras. The following ^*%n"s" `k s
give special interpretations for *un*´s used only in sūtras.
The next ^*%n"s" `k is not taught in i•*6 }"t$…'o6 /.
[^*%n"s" `k ']( 1.1.49 sé/ v"41390" «

The 6th case, whose ¬+ is not understood, should bring the word “v"4 1”,
and connect with the 6th case ending word.
This kind of 6th case is called ^"*%n"*s$-sé/, or can be called v"431 90" sé/.

particularity of the connection is not determined, the one to which it is connected to is not

For example, in 6.1.77 p$9 3&*S «, the 6th case-ending word “p$5” has no ¬+ to any
word in the sūtra. This 6th case is Q*4q"y*%T ¬+*u21s" sé/. When that is the case, this

Qˆ *+5
The next ^*%n"s" `k gives an extra technical meaning to 7th case when the 7th case is

that Tot in the u|*§ is 6T.
If we try to understand the 6th case as v"431 90" sé/, it will mean “ 390"tŠ ôŠ v"4 1
i9^5”, thus the whole ô gets elided. But this is not pU, a desired end to be achieved. We
need a ^*%n"s" `k to arrive at the correct interpretation.

Note: Since there is a ^*%n"s" `k 1.1.72 314 *u*qÆotŠ «, which can supply the word “Qt”
between two words in '"4"*q$%&, Pā ini could have said “ 390Š” to save some letters.

The substitute should be in the place of the last letter of what is presented in 6th case.
For example, in 8.2.23 390"tŠ i9^5 « ~ ôŠ, the substitute i9^ should be in the

Observe how the Q4u|6 *§ (bringing down of words from previous sentences) works.
This system is observed in the natural language as well. A word in the previous sentence
is overwritten by another word in the following sentence when the case ending is the same.
And when a particular case ending word in the previous sentence is not found in the
following sentence, that word is brought down to the following sentence as Q4u|6 *§.
Now, we have a situation. There are four v"*44s( (those which are occupying the
v"4, the place for substitution) and four wo12s. We need a ^*%n"s" to decide which v"*44 (
should be replaced by which wo12. 1.1.50 v"4›1 t%'5 « will not do because the v"4 of both ‘
and ¾ is $ÁlT" , and the v"4 of both , and ç is $Ál9é'. ( We cannot decide by the
similarity of v"4 or even R"ã#3É, Q‡,y or '"`". There is an QZuv" (situation in which there
is no definiteness). We need another ^*%n"s" `k for the correct interpretation of ‘S9›3u"3"u5 «.
The gist of this sūtra in one word is “respectively”. As seen in the diagram below,
when a rule involves two sets of things which are the same in number, those two things
are connected respectively in the order of appearance.

Qˆ *+5
Before studying the next sūtra, we shall study two ^*%n"s" `k s, which are not in
i•*6 }"t$…'o6 /, but very much essential for understanding the next sūtra and many others.
The next ^*%n"s" `k tells that when two words are in '"4"*q$%&, and in *u21s&
(adjective) / *u21³ (qualified noun) relationship, the adjective is understood both as “that
which ends (= Qt) with the adjective”, and also “the adjective itself”.
This operation is conventionally known as “Tot*u*q5”.
[^*%n"s" `k ']( 1.1.72 314 *u*qÆotŠ « ~ €Š –^Š

When *u*q is told with adjective, that adjective is represents for that which ends
with that adjective, and also for that adjective itself.
314 3/1 *u*q5 1/1 TotŠ 6/1 « ~ €Š 6/1 –^Š 6/1

• 314 3/1 – By which (adjective); it is understood as “314 *u21s&14”; in $%&1 T|T/3".
• ( *u21s4')( Qt1 3Š 5 Tot5 (176B) = 2² 'o6 "35 (group of letters), TŠ «;
TotŠ 6/1 – TT (=
“for the group of letters which ends with that adjective”; in ¬+sé/ connected to “ !"”
making a sentence “the adjective is a !" for the group of letters which ends with that
adjective”.
• €Š 6/1 – #"*T^*o$ € (its own) indicating *u21s&; in ¬+sé/, connected to “–^Š”
• –^Š 6/1 – Of the form; in ¬+sé/, also connected to “ !"”; “The adjective is also a
!" for its own form”
( TotŠ 6/1 !" 1/1 Š"T III/1

[SK] *u21s&' 1/1 ( €Š 6/1 S 0 7^Š 6/1 «
Adjective is a !" for a group of words ending with that adjective, and also for that
adjective itself.
( « ~ q"T95 5/1 #e35 1/1, ‘5 5/1 (#"*T^*o$ is p)

For example, in the case of 3.3.56 ‘5 5/1 QS 1/1
is an adjective to q"T95 5/1. By this ^*%n"s" `6 1.1.72 314 *u*qÆotŠ «, the *u21s& “p” is
understood as a !" for “p-ending q"T”6 , and also “p, which is q"T”6 .
111
The next u"*Ty$ is Qû"o to the Tot*u*q. This operation is known as To"*o*u*q.
When the three conditions below are satisfied, the adjective is understood as “that
which begins (= w*o) with the letter”.
Three conditions for To"*o*u*q:
1. Two words are in '"4"*q$%&, in a *u21s& (adjective)/*u21³ (qualified noun)
relationship.
2. They are in ^% â'/.
(
3. The *u21s& (adjective) refers to any letter (Qi-œ‹&).
(u"*Ty$')( 3*¼*µ*qÆo"o"u¢œ‹&1 «
When Qi ( is mentioned as an adjective, and told in 7th case, then it should be
understood as that which begins with that letter.

( «
If an operation takes place when a condition follows, and the condition is

mentioned as a letter, then it should be understood as “that which begins with that letter”.
An example for this is seen in the next sūtra.

Now we will see the application of this sūtra in examples. Taking the words of the

9) Qu&y + çu&y =ç (u|*}5) $| Ž…BÁG' ( [Qû"o5] 6.1.88 u|*}%1*S «
When there are two rules applicable in one place at the same time, the rule which
will become useless if it is not applied is called Qû"o.

Words indicating action, which start with nk, are termed q"Ts6 .
Even though the words may be nk, u", etc., they have to be *¨3"u"*S4, ( words
indicating action, only. From the words of sūtra, how do we arrive at “*¨3"u"*S45” as in the
u|*§? This is explained in *»å&/ .
nk has two meanings:
1. ( seen in q"T^6 "l, a *¨3"u"S/
nk §"3"' as
2. nk ^|*‡u/, a u"S/, a word indicating something which has *i¹ (gender) and uS4
(number)
u" also has two meanings:
1. u" 0*T0+4395 as seen in q"T^6 "l, a *¨3"u"S/
2. u" *u$®5, an QZ3 word
By defining q"T 6 with nk and u" together, what is common, *¨3"u"S/ is understood, and
what are uncommon, u"S/ and QZ3 are negated.
There are two q"T-6 !"-*uq"3$- `k s: One is this sūtra for the q"Ts6 in q"T^6 "l5, the other
sūtra is 3.1.32 4"±t" q"Tu5 « for derived q"Ts6 .

The general type of 0& is a group which has fixed number of members. For example,

2. Open-ended group (w$| *T0&)
A special type of 0& is called w$| *T0&. w$| *T0& is a group which does not have

There are two types of ws:
• (

In usage they look the same. However, the distinction is made because there is a

In QU"j"3/ `k ^"l5, one can easily understand the meaning of a sūtra by bringing
down Q4u|6 *§ and identifying the case of each word.
In the following chart, each word is sorted by case and Q4u|6 *§s are shown for easy
understanding.

*u*q5 6.1.79 u"t5 (Qu, ( wu)( (,, ç) *3 #e31
Q4u|6 *§ is not taken in a sūtra in which a word is already told in the same case and
sense as the Q4u|6 *§ word. For example, in 6.1.77 p$9 3&*S«, Q*S in ^% â'/ is told to be Q4u|6 *§
up to the sūtra number 6.1.125. However, in 6.1.79 u"t9 *3 #e31 «, *3 and #e31 are told in
^% â'/. In this case, bringing Q*S does not serve any purpose. Thus Q4u|6 *§ is skipped.

^% `k to ^ku y `k , *4e to Q*4e, Qt%¹ to R*‹%¹, and Qû"o to ƒ„0y. Among these four
types of comparison, the latter is the more effective.
Four types of comparison:

2) *4e-Q*4e
$| T"$| T-# ¹/ 35 *u*q5 5 *4e5« A *u*q which is applicable both before and after
another *u*q is applied.
Let both *u*q A and *u*q B be applicable in one place at the same time. If *u*q B is
applicable even after applying *u*q A, but *u*q A becomes non-applicable after
applying *u*q B, then *u*q B is considered to be *4e and *u*q A is considered to be Q*4e.
3) Qt%¹-R*‹%¹
*u*q between q"T 6 and *T™-( #e3 is Qt%¹, while *u*q between ƒ^ 0y and q"T 6 is R*‹%¹.
*u*q between ƒ^ 0y and q"T 6 is Qt%¹, while *u*q between another ô and ƒ^ 0y is R*‹%¹.
4) ƒ„0y-Qû"o
When *u*q A has no applicability outside the scope of *u*q B, *u*q A is said to be

Summary of *u 0y *+
The topic of *u 0y *+ is well summarized by the *u 0y *+ chart in Sanskrit Grammar

for Vedanta Students Volume 2.
In fact, *u 0y *+ is actually about the change of %1Ý. The causes of the change are:
1. The preceding letter, which can be only vowels.
2. The following letter, which can be any letter.
3. Whether the %1Ý is from 7• or otherwise.
In the chart, the preceding letters are in rows. The following letters are in columns.
In the beginning stage, the whole area of the chart is covered by %1Ý, either of 7• • (a.)
or by itself, such as %1Ý-ending QZ3 words (b.).
