The correct option is D d) None of the above

Ans 65 D

Explanation: Both the statements are correct.

ini (~6th–4th century BCE), or Panini, is the name of an ancient Sanskrit grammarian and a revered scholar in Hinduism. Considered the father of Indian linguistics, Panini likely lived in the Swat area, in the northwest of the Indian subcontinent during the early Mahajanapada era.

ini is known for his text Ashtadhyayi, a sutra-style treatise on Sanskrit grammar,[8] estimated to have been completed between 6th and 4th century BCE.

The Mahābhāya, attributed to Patañjali, is a commentary on selected rules of Sanskrit grammar from Pāini's treatise, the Ashtadhyayi, as well as Kātyāyana'sVarttika, an elaboration of Pāini's grammar. It is dated to the 4th century BCE
