different systems of grammar, the Paribhāsā-sūcana of Vyādı, the Paribhāsäs of Śākatāyana and of Hemacandra, the Paribhāsās of Hemacandra and Jainendra and the concluding remarks The style of the work is quite lucid and simple, but from the variety of his style affords ample proof of his deep scholarship Thus, to convey the sense of the words iñāpaka' indicator) and fanityatā'impermanence), he has utilized a variety of synonyms, to make the subject interesting and entertaining Thus, for conveying the sense of anitya and anityatā he has used the words, sthiratā, asthestva, anaikāntikatva, vyabhıcāri, savyabhıcāra While Hemacandra composed, apart from his magnum opus SHSS, his own auxiliary texts, viz , the Dhātupātha, the Ganapātha, the Unādı-sūta, and the Lingānuśāsana, no work pertaining to his own Partbhāsās has come from his own pen This gap was sought to be filled by Hemahamsa-gani by composing his Nyāya-samgraha Hemahamsa-gani composed his work, along with an elaborate commentary named Nyāyārtha-mañjūsä, on Friday, the 2nd day of the bright half of the Mārgaśīrsa month of the year 1515 of the Vikrama Era In this work the author has adopted the sūtra style, and in it too he has arranged the aphorisms, under various adhikāra and their meaning depends on the anuvrta, much in the manner of Pānını
While Panini in his Sanskrit grammar, the Astādhyāyi had actually utilized certain text-crtical rules governing his aphonsms, Kātyāyana identified them as Parıbhāsā-sūtras, and Patañjalı explained and illustrated their use, their independent listing and explanation of the Paribhāsās utilized by Panini in his was first attempted by Vyādi in his now no longer extant work called Samgraha We get information about the Paribhāsas of ancient grammarians in the works of Sīradeva, Kaiyata, and Haradatta Vyādı came a few centuries after Pānını and a couple of them before the times of and Patañjalı Moreover, we find some Paribhāsās among the Vārtikas of Kätyāyana, and most of them occur in Vyādi In the Päninian tradition, thus no notable work seems to have been done after Vyadı upto the twelfth century AD On the other hand, during this period the systems of Śäkatāyana, Cändras and Kälāpa developed their Paribhāsā-pāthas It is for the first time since then that we find a compact text portion of the Paribhāsās in the sūtras 18 to 135 in the second Päda of the First Adhyāya of Bojadeva's Sarasvatīkanthbharana-vyākarana And, Hemacandra was inspired to compose his own independent Vyākarana, named Siddha-haimasabdānuśāsana (SHSS), from this work of Bhojadeva NMK.
