Vyakarana Schools

Vyakarana schools refer to traditional Indian grammatical systems that study and explain language structure and syntax. The most prominent is the Mahābhāṣya tradition, founded by the ancient scholar Pāṇini, who devised precise rules for Sanskrit grammar. Different Vyakarana schools interpret these rules and language principles uniquely, often reflecting philosophical perspectives. Their primary goal is to analyze and clarify language to ensure correct communication and comprehension. These schools have significantly influenced linguistic theory and the development of Sanskrit literature, serving as foundational frameworks for understanding how words and sentences function systematically.
