Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Etymology. Aṣṭādhyāyī is made of two words aṣṭa-, ‘eight’ and adhyāya-, ‘chapter’, thus meaning eight-chaptered, or ‘the book of eight chapters’.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Ashtadhyayi laid down more than 4, 000 grammatical rules. Later Indian grammars such as the Mahabhasya of Patanjali (2nd century BC) and the Kasika Vritti of Jayaditya and Vamana (7th century AD), were mostly commentaries on Panini.
