Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)
Yas (यस्).—tad. affix य (ya) with mute स् (s) to indicate the application of the term पद (pada) to the preceding base as a consequence of which the final म् (m) of the words कम् (kam) and शम् (śam), after which यस् (yas) is prescribed, gets changed into anusvara e. g. कंयुः, दंयुः (kaṃyuḥ, daṃyuḥ): cf P.V.2.138.
Vyakarana (व्याकरण, vyākaraṇa) refers to Sanskrit grammar and represents one of the six additional sciences (vedanga) to be studied along with the Vedas.
