srST'ansffc name popularly given to the
Sutrapatha of Panini consisting of
eight books ( adhyavas) containing
in all 3981 Sutras, as found in the
traditional recital, current at the
time of the authors of the Kasika.
Out of these 3981 Sutras, seven are
found given as Vartikas in the \
Mahabhasya and two are found in i
Ganapatha. The author of the I
Mahabhasya has commented upon j
only 1228 of these 3981 Sutras. 1
Originally there were a very few
differences of readings also, as
observed by Patanjali ( see Mbh on
I. 4.1); but the text was fixed by
Patanjali which, with a few additions
made by the authors of the
Kasika, as observed above, has
traditionally come down to the t
present day. The Astadhyayi is !
believed to be one of the six Ved- :
anga works which are committed to 1
memorygby the reciters of Rgveda.
The text of the Astadhyayi is recited
without accents. The word 3?gl«u#
was current in Patanjali’s tim e; cf.
