Summary/Abstract: The subject of this study are the first works in ancient India related to language and speech. From the earliest times in this territory there has been a cult of the word which is why the country is considered the cradle of philology. It is also essential that India remains true to its cultural identity to this day; and that works written in one of the classical languages of antiquity; Sanskrit; have passed on intact for millennia and have always been studied and interpreted by the linguists.
