Summary
Updated 2026-08-05
Yāska was an ancient Indian grammarian and Vedic linguist. Preceding Pāṇini, he is traditionally identified as the author of Nirukta, the discipline of "etymology" within the Sanskrit grammatical tradition, and the Nighantu, the oldest proto-thesaurus in India. Nirukta is one of the six Vedāṅgas in Hinduism. Yaska is widely regarded as the precursive founder of the discipline of what would become etymology in both the East and the West.
