Uṇādisūtra

The Uṇādisūtra is a set of sūtras giving primary suffixes (kṛt) and deriving words not found taught in the Aṣṭādhyāyī. Pāṇini has mentioned the term uṇādi in two of his Aṣṭādhyāyī sūtras, namely 3.3.1 uṇādayo bahulam and 3.4.75 tābhyām anyatroṇādayaḥ.

Approximate Date of Creation

The date of the Uṇādisūtra is possibly not later than that of Pāṇini
