b. Bhart?hari
c. Pa?ini
d. Pingala
ANSWER: Bhart?hari
Bhart?hari is a Sanskrit author who is likely to have written two influential Sanskrit texts:
- the Vakyapadiya, on Sanskrit grammar and linguistic philosophy, a foundational text in the Indian grammatical tradition, explaining numerous theories on the word and on the sentence, including theories which came to be known under the name of Spho?a; in this work Bhartrhari also discussed logical problems such as the liar paradox and a paradox of unnameability or unsignfiability which has become known as Bhartrhari's paradox, and
- the Satakatraya, a work of Sanskrit poetry, comprising three collections of about 100 stanzas each; it may or may not be by the same author who composed the two mentioned grammatical works.
