🔹 Pratyaharamu mindmap

Pratyāhāramu is a Sanskrit grammatical device where a group of sounds is represented compactly using the first sound of the group plus a marker consonant, derived from Śiva's 14 Maheshvara Sūtras. This system, foundational to Pāṇini's grammar, avoids repetition by letting shorthand codes like ach (all vowels) and hal (all consonants) stand in for entire phonetic categories.
