Indian painting Around the 1st century BC the Shadanga or Six Limbs of Indian Painting, were evolved, a series of canons laying down the main principles of the art.[2] Vatsyayana, who lived during the third century A.D., enumerates these in his Kamasutra having extracted them from still more ancient works.
Pāṇini Pāṇini is known for his text Ashtadhyayi, a sutra-style treatise on Sanskrit grammar,[6][1][2] 3,959 "verses" or rules on linguistics, syntax and semantics in "eight chapters" which is the foundational text of the Vyākaraṇa branch of the Vedanga, the auxiliary scholarly disciplines of the Vedic period.[8][9][10] His aphoristic text attracted numerous bhashya (commentaries), of which Patanjali's Mahābhāṣya is the most famous in Hindu traditions.[11][12] His ideas influenced and attracted commentaries from scholars of other Indian religions such as Buddhism.[13]
