Vyākaraṇa-saṅgraha: Pada–Vibhakti–Kāraka–Lakāra–Samāsa
सुप्तिङंतं पदं विप्र सुपां सप्त विभक्तयः । स्वौजसः प्रथमा प्रोक्ता सा प्रातिपदिकात्मिका ॥ २ ॥
suptiṅaṃtaṃ padaṃ vipra supāṃ sapta vibhaktayaḥ | svaujasaḥ prathamā proktā sā prātipadikātmikā || 2 ||
Ô brāhmaṇa, un « pada » (mot) est ce qui se termine par sup (désinences nominales) ou par tiṅ (désinences verbales). Les désinences sup sont ordonnées en sept vibhaktis (cas). « Su–au–jas » est déclaré être le premier cas (nominatif), fondé sur le prātipadika, la base nominale.

It frames Vyākaraṇa (grammar) as a Vedāṅga discipline: by defining ‘pada’ and the case-system, the verse supports precise understanding of śāstra, which is treated as a practical aid for clarity in dharma and mokṣa-oriented study.
Indirectly: bhakti practices rely on correct mantra, nāma, and scriptural recitation. By teaching the structure of words (pada) and cases (vibhakti), the verse underlines accurate utterance and comprehension—supporting disciplined Vishnu-bhakti through correct language use.
Vyākaraṇa: the definition of a grammatical ‘word’ as sup/tiṅ-ending, the seven vibhaktis, and identification of the nominative (prathamā) endings ‘su–au–jas’ as rooted in the prātipadika (nominal base).
