Vaiyākaraṇasiddhāntalaghumañjūṣā

The Vaiyākaraṇasiddhāntalaghumañjūṣā (a.k.a. Laghumañjūṣā) is a work on the philosophy of grammar/language. It is possibly a revision of the Vaiyākaraṇasiddhāntamañjūṣā and is longer than the Vaiyākaraṇasiddhāntamañjūṣā. An abridgement of the Laghumañjūṣā is the Paramalaghumañjūṣā. The Laghumañjūṣā, although containing the word 'laghu' in its title, is the longest among Nāgeśabhaṭṭa's three 'mañjūṣā works'.
