Abstract

We propose a model for computer representation of the Pāṇinian system of sanskrit grammar. Based on this model, we render the grammatical data and simulate the rules of Aṣṭādhyāyī on computer. We then employ these rules for generation of morpho-syntactical components of the language. These generated components we store in a p-subsequential transducer. This we use to develop a lexicon on Pāṇinian principles. We report briefly its implementation.
