Other Works
Two literary works are attributed to Pāṇini, though they are now lost.
- Jāmbavati Vijaya is a lost work cited by one Rajashekhar in Jahlana's Sukti Muktāvalī. A fragment is to be found in Ramayukta's commentary on Namalinganushasana. From the title it may be inferred that the work dealt with Krishna's winning of Jambavati in the underworld as his bride. Rajashekhara in Jahlana's Sukti Muktāvalī:
- नमः पाणिनये तस्मै यस्मादाविर भूदिह ।
- आदौ व्याकरणं काव्यमनु जाम्बवतीजयम् ॥
- namaḥ pāṇinaye tasmai yasmādāvira bhūdiha ।
- ādau vyākaraṇaṃ kāvyamanu jāmbavatījayam ॥
- Ascribed to Pāṇini, Pātāla Vijaya is a lost work cited by Namisadhu in his commentary on Kavyalankara of Rudrata.
