Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)
Source: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammarKaiyaṭa (कैयट).—Name of the renowned commentator on the Mahābhāṣya, who lived in the 11th century. He was a resident of Kashmir and his father's name was Jaiyaṭa. The commentary on the Mahābhāṣya was named महाभाष्यप्रदीप (mahābhāṣyapradīpa) by him, which is believed by later grammarians to have really acted as प्रदीप (pradīpa) or light, as without it, the Mahābhāṣya of Patañjali would have remained unlit, that is unintelligible, at several places. Later grammarians attached to प्रदीप (pradīpa) almost the same importance as they did to the Mahābhāṣya and the expression तदुक्तं भाव-कैयटयोः (taduktaṃ bhāva-kaiyaṭayoḥ) has been often used by commentators. Many commentary works were written on the Pradīpa out of which Nageśa's Uddyota is the most popular. The word कैयट (kaiyaṭa) came to be used for the word महाभाष्यप्रदीप (mahābhāṣyapradīpa) which was the work of Kaiyaṭa. For details see Vyākaraṇa Mahābhāṣya published by the D. E. Society, Poona, Vol. VII. pp. 389-390.
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.

[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.
