शिक्षा व्याकरणं छन्दः निरुक्तं ज्यौतिषं तथा । कल्पश्चेति षडङ्गानि वेदस्याहुर्मनीषिणः ॥
There are 6 limbs which assist the study of vedas - Shiksha (Science of Phonetics), Vyakarana (Science of Grammar), Chandas (Science of meters), Nirukta (Science of Etymology), Jyotisha (Science of movement of heavenly bodies) and Kalpa (methodology of performing rituals).
Of these, the Shiksha shastra deals in great detail about each and every sound of the Sanskrit language, their origin and effort involved in pronunciation, nuances of good pronunciation, various faults which may arise during pronunciation, etc. The aim of Shiksha shastra is to ensure that the vedic sounds are retained in their original, pristine form as they are passed through the generations, without undergoing any mutations.
There are many different texts on Shiksha composed by various sages such as Yajnyavalkya Shiksha, Parasharya Shiksha, Vaasishtha Shiksha, etc. Of these, the Paniniya Shiksha attributed to Panini is the most popular. It is a small metrical work of 60 verses, elucidating the major aspects of phonetics.
