Add article description

The Sarasvataprakriya (Sanskrit: सारस्वतप्रक्रिया; IAST: Sārasvataprakriyā) is a text on Sanskrit grammar written by Anubhūti Svarūpācārya[1] between 1250 and 1450.[2] It is a commentary on and rearrangement of 700 sutras composed by Narendra[3] and includes around 900 rules.[2] The grammatical system based on this text, called Sārasvatavyākaraṇa, was popular due to its brevity[4] and relative simplicity,[5] especially among Jains.[1] The name "Sārasvata" comes from the claim that Narendra received his inspiration for his sutras from the goddess Sarasvati.[4][5]
