Panini nowhere mentions this name except under the general appelation of ‘the easterners’, An oft-quoted passage from the fourth tarafiga of the Kathasaritsagara informs us that the school which Panini supplanted was known as the Aindra school, and numbered aniong its adlierents Katya- yana alias Vararuchi, Vyadi, and Indradatta. Hiuen Tsang the Chinese pilgrim, and Taranatha the Tibetian historian, both relate a similar story, the latter adding that the Chandra vyakarana agrees with Panini, and the Kalapa vyakarana with the Aindra.
