In Hinduism
Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)
Source: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammarDevanandin (देवनन्दिन्).—A Jain grammarian of the eighth century who is believed to have written a grammar work, called सिद्धान्तसारस्वत-शब्दानुशासन (siddhāntasārasvata-śabdānuśāsana). It is likely that देवनन्दिन् (devanandin) is the same as देवानन्दि-पूज्यपाद (devānandi-pūjyapāda) and the grammar work is the same as जैनेन्द्रशब्दानुशासन (jainendraśabdānuśāsana) for which see देवनन्दिन् (devanandin) .
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.
In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: academia.edu: The Original Paṇhavāyaraṇa/Praśnavyākaraṇa DiscoveredDevanandin (देवनन्दिन्) possibly refers to the teacher of Jīvabhogin who was the author of the Darśanajyotis commentary on the Paṇhavāgaraṇa (Sanskrit: Praśnavyākaraṇa): the tenth Anga of the Jain canon which deals with the prophetic explanation of queries regarding divination.—According to the colophon, the commentary is called Darśanajyotis, which is otherwise known as Sāradattā. The concluding verses mention that Jīvabhogin composed the commentary by the grace of Devanandin. Hence, he was a junior contemporary, most probably a disciple, of the latter. If this Devanandin is the same as Pūjyapāda Devanandin the author of the Jainendravyākaraṇa and several Jain works, the commentator’s time cannot be later than the end of the seventh century.
Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance’) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
