Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)

Source: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammar

Śabdānuśāsana (शब्दानुशासन).—lit. science of grammar dealing with the formation of words, their accents, and use in a sentence. The word is used in connection with standard works on grammar which are complete and self-sufficient in all the abovementioned features. Patanjali has begun his Mahabhasya with the words अथ शब्दानुशासनम् (atha śabdānuśāsanam) referring possibly to the vast number of Varttikas on the Sutras of Panini, and hence the term शब्दानुशासन (śabdānuśāsana) according to him means a treatise on the science of grammar made up of the rules of Panini with the explanatory and critical varttikas written by Katyayana and other Varttikakaras.The word शब्दानुशासन (śabdānuśāsana) later on, became synonymons with Vyakarana and it was given as a title to their treatises by later grammarians, or was applied to the authoritative treatise which introduced a system of grammar, similar to that of Panini. Hemacandra's famous treatise, named सिद्धहैमचन्द्र (siddhahaimacandra) by the author,came to be known as हैमशब्दानुशासन (haimaśabdānuśāsana). Similarly the works on grammar written by पाल्यकीर्तिशाकटायन (pālyakīrtiśākaṭāyana) and देवनन्दिन् (devanandin) were called शाकटायनशब्दानुशासन (śākaṭāyanaśabdānuśāsana) and जैनेन्द्र- (jainendra-)' शब्दानुशासन (śabdānuśāsana) respectively.

General definition (in Jainism)

Source: University of Cambridge: Jainism

Śabdānuśāsana (शब्दानुशासन) (or Siddhahaimacandra), by the 12th century Jain polymath Hemacandra consists of 8 chapters (adhyāya) of four sections (pāda) each, dealing with Sanskrit grammar in the first seven chapters and with Prakrit grammar in the eighth chapter. He composed two commentaries on his work, a long version (bṛhadvṛtti) and a short version (laghuvṛtti).

context information

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.

Sabdānuśāsana (सब्दानुशासन) refers to one of the works ascribed to King Bhoja, according to Bisheshwar Nath Reu.—King Bhoja of Dhārā, one of the greatest rulers of India, ruled  from 1018 to 1060 A.D. He was great in the art of Government and war, but still greater in the art of peace. He had earned immortal fame as a great patron of poets and men of letters and a mass of legends has grown about his name. He is reported to be the author of more than three dozen works [i.e., Sabdānuśāsana]. [...] Śrī Viśveśvara Nātha Reu has laboured very hard in his treatise on ‘Rājā Bhoja’ (publsihed by Hindustani Academy) in collecting all the available material on the subject to give an account of the life and works of Bhoja. He has given a list of the following thirty-four books ascribed to Rājā Bhoja of Dhārā [i.e., Sabdānuśāsana]
