Pāṇini, the greatest known grammarian of ancient India, whose work has up to the present day remained the standard of Sanskrit grammar. Of his life little is known save that he was born near Attock. His date even has not been ascertained. Goldsticker placed him in the 7th century B.C.; Weber and Böhtlink give about 350 B.C. The precision of statement and analytical skill of his work are equally admirable. See SANSKRIT.
