Vaiyākaraṇasiddhāntamañjūṣā

The Vaiyākaraṇasiddhāntamañjūṣā (a.k.a. Mañjūṣā) is a work on the philosophy of grammar/language. It is possibly the earliest among the three 'mañjūṣā works' of Nāgeśabhaṭṭa. The Laghumañjūṣā is possibly a revision of the Mañjūṣā and is longer than the Mañjūṣā (despite the word 'laghu' in the title of the Laghumañjūṣā).
