Description

पाणिनीय शिक्षा (Paanineeya shikshaa) is one of the most significant texts in the शिक्षाग्रन्थ (Shikshaagrantha) and is attributed to महर्षि पाणिनि, the great Sanskrit grammarian.


The श्लोकात्मक (verse based) पाणिनीय शिक्षा is the creation of Maharshi Paaninee’s younger brother पिङ्ग्लाचार्य who distilled the teachings into verses, which are derived from the पाणिनीय शिक्षा which was originally सूत्रात्मक i.e. formula based.


It involves the systematic learning and analysis of Samskruta language structures, rules, and principles as outlined by Maharshi Paaninee which includes proper pronunciation (उच्चारणम्) of the varnamaalaa, visarga, anuswaara and many more topics.
