states that Vyadi was
the first writer on Paribhasas. The

Many times the writers of Sutras
lay down certain conventions for
the proper interpretation of their
rules, to which additions are made
in coarse of time according to necessities
that arise, by commentators.
In the different systems of grammar
there are different collections
of Paribhasas. In Panini’s system,
apart from commentaries thereon,
there are independent collections
of Paribhasas by Vyadi, Bhojadeva,
Purusottamadeva, Siradeva, Nila-
kantha, Haribhaskara, Nagesa and
a few others. There are independent
collections of Paribhasas in the
Katantra, Candra, Sakatayana,
Jainendra and Hemacandra systems
of grammar. It is a noticeable fact
that many Paribhasas are common,
with their wordings quite similar or
sometimes identical in the different
systems. Generally the collections
of Paribhasas have got scholiums
or commentaries by recognised
grammarians, which in their turn
have sometimes other glosses or
commentaries upon them. ThePari-
bhasendu§ekhara of Nagesa is an
authoritative work of an outstanding
merit in the system of Panini’s
Grammar, which is. commented
upon by more than twentyfive
scholars during the last two or three
centuries, The total number of
. Paribhasas in the different systems
of grammar may well-nigh exceed
500. See qfcn'TTCisi?..
