Abhyankara Grammar
Englishमहासंज्ञा a long term, as contrasted with the very short terms टि, घु, भ, इत् and others introduced by Paanini in his grammar for the sake of brevity. These long terms such as सर्वनाम, अब्यय, परस्मैपद, अात्मनेपद, and many others were widely in use at the time of Paanini and hence he could not but pick them up in his grammar in spite of his strenuous attempts at brevity. The commentators, however, find out a motive for his doing this viz. that appropriate words only could be understood by those terms and not others
cf. महासंज्ञाकरणेन तदनुगुणानामेव अत्र संनिवेशात् । S. K. on सर्वादीने सर्वेनामानि P. I.1.27.
