English: Panini's work on Sanskrit grammar is famous, and set the standard for classical Sanskrit for the next 2,500 years into the modern era.

The text exists is in the Sanskrit language, but numerous Indian scripts. Above is Panini's Astadhyayi in Grantha script. It is a part of the École Française d'Extreme-Orient (EFEO) collection, and currently preserved in a Puducherry library with a relatively small but important collection (few thousand manuscripts).

The manuscript was discovered in Tamil Nadu.

The photo above is of a 2D artwork of a text that is over 2,500 years old, from a manuscript that was produced in the 19th-century. Therefore Wikimedia Commons PD-Art licensing guidelines apply. Any rights I have as a photographer is herewith donated to wikimedia commons under CC 4.0 license.
