About the Book

The quintessence of the message of
Vedic tradition to humanity is that true
knowledge (Veda) and Tehteoutness
(Dharma) is the key to human
prosperity and ultimate freedom.
Righteous action depends on true
knowledge. Ones knowledge is
reflected in his or her actions. But
knowledge is not possible without
language. It is in and through language
that thought originates and finds
expression. Language is the sole light
and guide to truth about the behaviour
of objects. In fact, language is
consciousness itself.

Proper verbalization and proper
understanding are vital for everything
that is concerned in our intellectual and
rational life. But the understanding of
the truth about language is not possible
without the aid of science of language,
for science of language determines
language. Sanskrit developed an
amazingly rich linguistic tradition over
more than three millennia.

The main purpose of this work is to
provide in one place more or less a
complete picture of the complex
subject, covering almost every aspect of
Language in a systematic and coherent
form to.make the Indian material on
science of language more accessible.
The present work drew heavily from
Siksas, Pratisadkhyas, Nirukta,
Vyakarana, philosophical systems of
Mimamsa, Nydya and Books on literary
theory (Alamkara-Sdstra) and makes a
thorough discussion of the linguistic
theories that constitutes the corpus of
science of language in Vedic tradition.
