Vyākaraṇa-saṅgraha: Pada–Vibhakti–Kāraka–Lakāra–Samāsa
तिप्त संतीति प्रथमो मध्यमः सिप्थस्थोत्तमः । मिव्वस्मसः परस्मै तु पादानां चा मपनेदम् ॥ १८ ॥
tipta saṃtīti prathamo madhyamaḥ sipthasthottamaḥ | mivvasmasaḥ parasmai tu pādānāṃ cā mapanedam || 18 ||
“Tipta” e “saṃtīti” devem ser entendidos como a primeira e a forma intermediária; “sipthastha” é a melhor (forma final). Para o parasmaipada (uso ativo), enuncia-se também a supressão (elisão) dos elementos do pāda, isto é, das terminações—tal é a regra declarada.
Narada (in an instructional/technical exposition, consistent with Vedanga-style rules within the Moksha-Dharma section)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: none
Even within Moksha-Dharma, the Purana preserves Vedanga-style precision: correct speech, correct textual transmission, and disciplined learning are treated as supportive disciplines (sādhana) that steady the mind for dharma and liberation.
Indirectly: bhakti in the Narada tradition is strengthened by śravaṇa (hearing) and kīrtana (recitation). Technical clarity about forms and endings safeguards accurate recitation and study, which are foundational devotional acts.
Vyākaraṇa and related technical instruction (with a chandas/pāda orientation): it references parasmaipada usage and the principle of apane(d)am—elision/removal of certain ending-units in transmitted forms.
