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.
Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)
Source: Pure Bhakti: Jaiva-dharmaRūḍha (रूढ) refers to one of the two types of Mahābhāva, according to a discussion between Vijaya Kumāra and Śrī Gopāla Guru Gosvāmī.—Mahābhāva, which is the embodiment of the highest nectar, attracts the heart and causes it to attain its own intrinsic nature. There are two types of Mahābhāva: rūḍha and adhirūḍha. Rūḍha-mahābhāva is the stage in which all the sāttvika-bhāvas are manifest in the uddīpta condition. In rūḍha-mahābhāva, even the passing of a moment is unbearable; this rūḍha-mahābhāva churns the hearts of those present; a kalpa seems to pass like a moment (kalpa-kṣaṇatva); one feels dejected because of the apprehension that Śrī Kṛṣṇa is undergoing some inconvenience, although He is actually happy; one becomes forgetful of everything, even oneself, although one is not bewildered; and one moment seems to pass like a kalpa (kṣaṇa-kalpatā). Some of these anubhāvas are experienced during meeting, and some during separation.
Vaishnava (वैष्णव, vaiṣṇava) or vaishnavism (vaiṣṇavism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshipping Vishnu as the supreme Lord. Similar to the Shaktism and Shaivism traditions, Vaishnavism also developed as an individual movement, famous for its exposition of the dashavatara (‘ten avatars of Vishnu’).
