Conclusion

The process of analyzing and interpreting the sacred works of śāstra and Sanskrit literature is multi-layered. A thorough knowledge of the wider set of granthas, along with the know-how of the various instruments of interpretation is very essential. Bhāṣā, rīti, and bheda are some of the useful tools in this journey. One cannot interpret or teach śāstra with just the knowledge of language. A lifelong indulgence in the practice of Sanātana Dharma is critical for success in any such endeavor.
