Sanskrit Grammar:
Panini's Ashtadhyayi & Sandhi
Go beyond the basics into Vyakarana — the science of Sanskrit grammar. Study Panini's Ashtadhyayi and its elegant sutra system, master the sandhi rules and compounds (samasa), and see the logic that leads modern linguists and computer scientists to study Sanskrit.
📖 Course Overview
Around the 5th century BCE, Panini described the entire grammar of Sanskrit in the Ashtadhyayi — nearly 4,000 concise sutras — a system so rigorous and complete that it is studied today as a model of formal language and computation.
This advanced course opens that system: how the Ashtadhyayi is organised, the ingenious devices of pratyahara (sound-classes) and it-markers, and the different kinds of sutras. You will then work carefully through the sandhi rules (vowel, consonant and visarga), compounds (samasa) and the karaka (case relations).
This is a course for serious students — ideally after our Sanskrit for Beginners course — who want to understand not just what the rules are, but why Sanskrit is built the way it is.
