व्याडि name of an ancient gramma- rian with a sound scholarship in Vedic phonetics, accentuation, deri- vation of words and their inter- pretation. He is believed to have been a relative and contemporary of Panini and to have written a very scholarly vast volume on San- skrit grammar named Samgraha which is believed to have consisted of a lac of verses; cf. संग्रहो व्याडि- कृतो लक्षसंख्यो ग्रन्थः Nagesa's Uddyota; cf. also इह पुरा पाणिनीये अस्मिन्व्याकरणे व्याड्युपरचितं लक्षग्रन्थपरिमाणं निबन्धनमासीत् Vak.

A work on the Vyakarana Paribhasas, believed to have been written by Vyadi, is available by the name परिभाषासूचन which from its style and other peculiarities seems to have been written after the Varttikas, but before the

Mahabhasya. Vyadi is well-known to have been the oldest exponent of the doctrine that words denote an indi- vidual object and not the genus. For details see pp. 136-8, Vol. 7 Vyakarana - Mahabhasya D. E. Society's Edition.
