In Hinduism
Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)
Sthānin (स्थानिन्).—The original word or part of a word such as a syllable or two of it or a letter of it, for which a substitute (आदेश (ādeśa)) is prescribed; cf. स्थानिवदादेशो (sthānivadādeśo)Sनाल्विधौ (nālvidhau) P. 1.1. 56.
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.
Kavya (poetry)
Sthānin (स्थानिन्) refers to the original form in grammar for which something else is substituted (and called ādeśa), and is mentioned in the Naiṣadha-carita 5.127.—(“bhaṇa phaṇibhavaśāstraṃ tātaṅaḥ sthāninau kau”).—In this example tu and hi are the sthānin or original forms, and tātaṅū is the ādeśa or substitute. For the rule in question see footnote to translation.
In verse 10.135, the grammatical meaning [of sthānin] is implied by pun, and the word is used in the sense of “original” (“āsutrāmamapāsanānmakhabhujām”: “why did he retain his original evil nature?”) (preceded by “svaṃ naiṣadhādeśamaho vidhāya”). Cf. Anargharāghava (Act 4).
Kavya (काव्य, kavya) refers to Sanskrit poetry, a popular ancient Indian tradition of literature. There have been many Sanskrit poets over the ages, hailing from ancient India and beyond. This topic includes mahakavya, or ‘epic poetry’ and natya, or ‘dramatic poetry’.

Sthānin (स्थानिन्) in the Sanskrit language is related to the Prakrit word: Ṭhāṇi.
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.
