The word Veda, derived from the suffix ghañ of the verb vid, means knowledge, the oldest literature of the entire universe. But knowledge of the six parts of the Vedas is indispensable for understanding the truth of the Vedas. It is said in the Panini teachings that by the proper use of these one attains the Brahmaloka. Among the six Vedic organs, grammar occupies the foremost place. In the ancient Indian tradition, the names of fourteen places of learning are found. The essence of the fourteen sciences lies in the science of literature. There, in the branch of literature, poets from all over the region shone on their heads. Haridas Siddhanta Vagish is one of the most indeed Vangi poets who enriched Sanskrit literature through their writings in the twenty-first century. His predecessors were also literary practitioners. His skill in literary disciplines is evident as well as in grammar. Here, however, some grammatically relevant terminological terms used in the epic Rukminiharana are also discussed. Along with this, somewhere in other literature, the grammar opinion reflected is also discussed. Mayaka will be discussed in detail in this essay based on these topics.
