Panini's Ashtadhyayi, which is said to have eclipsed all other contemporary schools of grammar, mentions the names of eleven schools of Sanskrit grammar that preceded it.
These schools, most of which are now extinct are
- Aindra
- Shaakataayana
- Apisali
- Sakalya
- Kasakrtsna
- Gargya
- Galava
- Kaasyapa
- Senaka
- Sphotayana
- Chandravarmana
The traditions of these schools is said to have formed part of a rich grammatical tradition which Panini built upon to author his path breaking work.
