Description
The Varṇasūtra and Paribhāṣāsūtra appear to be components of a distinct grammatical tradition separate from the Pāṇinian school. The Varṇasūtra opens with a homage to Mañjuśrī and serves as an introduction to phonetics, focusing on the articulation of svarṇas (phonemes) and principles of speech production. The Paribhāṣāsūtra, in turn, addresses the interpretation and application of the rules in Sanskrit grammar. (A History of Sanskrit Grammatical Literature in Tibet and NCC)
