Description: This is a fresh look at Panini\'s Grammar from the viewpoint of data analysis and resulting rule formations. The author ha taken the view that Panini must be rediscovered by following the path of data analysis and explores Panini\'s technique and offers a fresh insight. Languages play a very large role in modern technology. The subject matter of computer and intelligent machines requires a deep understanding of the language phenomenon. India has Panini to offer to the world in this respect and Dr. Singh is making him more palatable and fathomable as model for understanding the process of dismantling and reassembling the linguistic structures. His keen analysis of Panini\'s grammatical device offers a glimmer of hope for those who would like to revive the spirit of Panini rather than worship the ancient gem of human kind. It is high time that fresh and aggressive insight and ideas are offered to explore Panini. Panini himself would be proud to see his work come back to life above and beyond the rote that preserved it through the ages.

Panini's Ashtadhyayi represents the first attempt in the history of the world to describe and analyse the components of a language on scientific lines. It has not only been universally acclaimed as the first and foremost specimen of Descriptive Grammar but has also been the chief source of inspiration for the linguist engaged in describing languages of different regions. To understand Sanskrit language, and especially that part of it which embodies the highest aspirations of ancient Aryan people, viz., the Brahmanas, Samhitas, Upanisads, it is absolutely necessary to have a complete knowledge of the grammar elaborated by Panini. Being a masterpiece of reasoning and artistic arrangement its study is bound to cultivate intellectual powers. Western scholars have described it as a wonderful specimen or a notable manifestation of Indian intelligence. This book is an English translation of Ashtadhyayi in two volumes and has won a unique position in the world of scholarship.
