Indian research student created history at Cambridge University, solved two and a half thousand years old Sanskrit mystery

Posted on 16th Dec 2022 by rohit kumar

A grammar problem that has troubled Sanskrit scholars for more than two and a half thousand years has been solved by Rishi Rajpopat (27), an Indian research student at the University of Cambridge. This knot was made from the rules of the Indian sage Panini, called the father of languages, 700 years before Christ. Rishi has solved this mystery in his research paper - In Panini, We Trust Discovering the Algorithm for Rule Conflict Resolution in the Ashtadhyayi.

 

Panini's grammar will be taught through computer

Eight chapters of Panini's Ashtadhyayi (Grammar) contain four thousand sutras. These sutras are Vedavakya of any language. Ashtadhyayi contains a detailed description of the rules of social, political, economic, and family life. After studying the Ashtadhyayi, the German scholar Max Müller said that the concepts of English or Greek, or Latin is negligible in front of this book. According to the British University, top Sanskrit scholars have termed Rajpopat's discovery as revolutionary. Because of this, Panini's grammar can now be studied through the computer. According to Rajpopat, he got a divine vision of knowledge in Cambridge, based on which he was able to succeed in doing this work.

 

The attempt was abandoned after nine months

Rishi Rajpopat said that after nine months of continuous effort when he failed to solve this linguistic puzzle, he was about to leave it, and could not think of anything. That's why I kept the books closed for a month. After this started enjoying the summer season. He swam, cycled long distances, cooked food, chanted mantras, and meditated. After this, he again got involved in research work with a renewed spirit. After this, a miracle happened.

 

A miracle happened in two and a half years

Rajpopat further said that as soon as he opened the book again, within a few minutes the concepts began to take shape in his mind. After this, a lot had to be done and done, but at that time a way had been found to solve the problem of grammar. Understood that a miracle has happened. Due to this feeling of excitement, I could not sleep that night and many nights after that. Forgetting everything, he started spending hours in the library. Started reading more and more books related to the subject. Many times he used to study till midnight and the next day too he would get up early in the morning and start studying again. Even while doing other work, the brain was engaged in solving related linguistic difficulties. Spent two and a half years doing this, only then succeeded in solving Panini's mystery.

 

No one else has a brain like Panini's

Rajpopat said Panini had a wonderful mind. There is no other example in human history of a man with a mind like his. He didn't do anything to do anything new. He did what was the level of his brain. The result of that was that he gave such a treasure to the world which is as valuable even after thousands of years as it was in his time.

 

All mankind will be benefited

Professor of Sanskrit at the University of Cambridge, Vincenzo Varziani, said, "My disciple Rishi has solved a mystery of thousands of years." He has done an unusual job. The entire human race will be benefited from this. This will help in understanding the basic elements of the Sanskrit language. Not only Sanskrit, but human civilization will also develop. Rajpopat has done research work under the direction of Professor Varjiani.
