Explanation:
Dr. Amba Kulkarni, Head of the Department of Sanskrit Studies, University of Hyderabad, is a gold medallist in mathematics, M.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering, Ph.D. in Applied Linguistics and an M.A. in Sanskrit. Her lecture for K.V. Sarma Research Foundation was on ‘Informatics in Panini’s Ashtadhyayi.’ Excerpts:
Ashtadhyayi is admired for its simplicity and its rigorous and consistent use of meta language. Sutras are like mathematical formulae. So, a lot of information can be given using a few words. And since Panini uses sutras, the Ashtadhyayi is crisp. Panini also lays down rules to resolve conflicts between sutras. Ashtadhyayi is augmented with ancillary texts such as Sivasutras (special order of phonemes); dhatupatha (list of verbal roots); ganapatha (various sets of nouns) and linganusaasana (system for deciding the gender).
Regarding the Siva Sutras, Panini needed 41 subsets of the Sanskrit alphabet, to describe various operations. Some of these subsets are all vowels; some are all consonants; some are vowels, semi-vowels and nasals and so on. Kulkarni gave an analogy to illustrate the need for the kind of organisation Panini resorted to. Suppose you are organising an event, and you have 41 committees of volunteers, and 41 volunteers too. Some committees may include all 41 volunteers. Others may have fewer. The same person may be a member of more than one committee. Thus, these committees, if treated as sets, are partially ordered. To remember who goes where is not easy.
