13.20
Therefore, the instruction of words is the immediate purpose of the science of grammar, while preservation of the Veda and the like are [its purposes] indirectly. For this very reason, the venerable author of the Bhāṣya [Patañjali] has said: 'Preservation, adaptation, scriptural authority, economy, and the absence of doubt are the purpose.'
