Source: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammarPaurastyavaiyākaraṇa (पौरस्त्यवैयाकरण).—A grammarian of the eastern school which is believed to have been started by जिनेन्द्रबुद्धि (jinendrabuddhi) the writer of the gloss called न्यास (nyāsa) on the Kasikavrtti. The school practically terminated with पुरुषोत्तमदेव (puruṣottamadeva) and सीरदेव (sīradeva) at the end of the twelfth century A.D. Such a school existed also at the time of Panini and Patanjali, a reference to which is found made in प्राचां ष्फ ताद्धतः (prācāṃ ṣpha tāddhataḥ) P. IV. 1.17 and प्राचामवृद्धात्फिन् बहुलम् (prācāmavṛddhātphin bahulam) IV.1. 160 and प्राचामुपादेरडज्वुचौ च (prācāmupāderaḍajvucau ca) V.3.80 where the word is explained as प्राचामाचार्याणां (prācāmācāryāṇāṃ) by the writer of the Kasika.
