adjus*s many, and altogether omits
the Vedic portion and the accent
chapter of Panini. It probably belonged
to Aindra system as opposed

la\s down the Sutras in an order
different from that of Panini dividing
the work into four adhyayas
dealing with technical terms, samdhi
rules, declension, syntax, compounds
noun-affixes ( taddhita
affixes) conjugation, voice, and verbal
derivatives in an order, ihe
total number of rules is 1412 sup- '
plemented by many subordinate
rules or Varttikas. The treatise is
be'ieved to have been written by
, Sarvavarman, called Sarvavarman
or Sarva or Sarva, who is said to

text-books on grammar especially
in Behar, Bengal and Gujarat. It
has got. a large number of glosses
and commentary works, many of
which are in a manuscript form at
