Abhyankara Grammar

English

पस्पशा  called also पस्पशाह्निक: name given to the first or introductory chapter ( अाह्विक ) of the Maahabhaasya of Patanjali. The word occurs first in the SiSupaalavadha of Maagha. The word is derived from पस्पश ,  the frequentative base of स्पर्श to touch or to see (ancient use). Possibly it may be explained as derived from स्पश् with अप: cf . शब्द बिद्येव नो भाति राजनीतिरपस्पशाा Sis.II.112. Mallinatha has understood the word पस्पश m. and explained it as introduction to a Saastra treatise: cf. पस्पश: : शास्त्रारम्भसमर्थक उपेद्वातसंदर्भग्रन्थः । Mallinaatha on SiS. II.112.
