Vyaka (“analysis”) Vedangas is one of the six Vedangas.
The Vedangas were auxiliary fields of knowledge related with
the Vedas, the earliest Hindu sacred books, and all of the Vedangas were linked
to the Vedas' usage.
Vyakarana is, at its core, the study of Sanskrit grammar,
which was plainly necessary for reading the Vedic writings.
Grammar is the queen of the ancient learned disciplines, and
it is what is understood by the word vidya ("knowledge") in many
situations, thanks to Vyakarana's status as the gatekeeper of the Sanskrit
language.
Other Vedangas include shiksha (proper pronunciation),
chandas (Sanskrit prosody), kalpa (ritual instructions), nirukta (etymology),
and jyotisha (astrology).
