The *Ashṭādhyāyī* is full of interesting details regarding the social life, manners and customs of its times. Pāṇini, as we have seen, was acquainted with a large part of India including Gandhāra, Vāhīka, Sindhu, Sauvīra, and the Prāchya country or eastern India. His master-mind did not fail to observe minutely the characteristics of social and economic life in these different regions.
