Praśleṣa (प्रश्लेष).—One of the six devices which form the requisite qualifications of Sanskrit grammar;—Praśleṣa is an attempt at “finding out the presence of a letter in addition to the letters already present as coalesced, after splitting the combination into its different constituent letters. This practice of finding out an addition aetter is resorted to by the commentators only to remove certain difficulties in arriving at some correct form which otherwise could not be obtained.”

context information

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.
