Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)
Source: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammarBarsvya (बर्स्व्य).—(written as बर्त्स्व्य (bartsvya) or बर्त्स्य (bartsya) possibly through mistake in the printed Calcutta Edition); connected with the socket of the teeth. As the utterance of र् (r) proceeds from the socket of the teeth, र् (r) is called बर्स्व्य (barsvya). cf. उपसंहृततरे च जिह्वाग्रमृकारर्कारल्कारेषु बर्स्वेषूपसंहरति (upasaṃhṛtatare ca jihvāgramṛkārarkāralkāreṣu barsveṣūpasaṃharati) T.Pr.II.18.बर्स्व (barsva) is explained here by the commentator as दन्तपङ्क्तेरुपरिष्टादुच्चप्रदेशेषु ऋकारस्य ॠकारस्य ऌकारस्य च बर्स्वाः स्थानम् । (dantapaṅkterupariṣṭāduccapradeśeṣu ṛkārasya ṝkārasya ḷkārasya ca barsvāḥ sthānam |) The word उपरिष्टात् (upariṣṭāt) in the explanation given above is questionable;the explanation given by Uvvata in his comment on वर्त्स्यमेकं इच्छन्ति रेफम् (vartsyamekaṃ icchanti repham) R. Pr. I. 20.viz. वर्त्सशब्देन दन्तमूलादुपरिष्टादुच्छूनः प्रदेश उच्यते (vartsaśabdena dantamūlādupariṣṭāducchūnaḥ pradeśa ucyate) appears better although apparently वर्त्स (vartsa) is written in the text for बर्स्व (barsva) or वर्त्स्व (vartsva).
Vyakarana (व्याकरण, vyākaraṇa) refers to Sanskrit grammar and represents one of the six additional sciences (vedanga) to be studied along with the Vedas. Vyakarana concerns itself with the rules of Sanskrit grammar and linguistic analysis in order to establish the correct context of words and sentences.
