The Supreme Authority.-2

Tamil and संस्कृत / saṃskṛta Sanskrit are 2 of the world's most ancient languages. And both are said to have been originated from Lord Shiva's Mouth.
Shiva is associated with languages and grammar as well. India’s two ancient languages Sanskrit and Tamil originated from Lord Shiva. Sanskrit language follows the grammar written by Panini. Panini says that the letters and its sounds came from the beats of Shiva’s kettle drum ‘Damarukam’. The language formula is called Maheswara Sutrani. Tamil sage Agastya is also said to have learnt Tamil from Shiva and his son Murugan/Kartikeya. 17th century Tamil poet Paranjothy Muni sang that Shiva taught Sanskrit and Tamil to both. He said that from one side of the kettle drum came Sanskrit and from the other came Tamil.
All other languages evolved on later developed from प्राकृत / prākṛta which has वैखरी / vaikharī
another name and their grammar is compilation of rules and conventions of speaking them and has no scientific basis. संस्कृत / saṃskṛta on the other hand has the foundation of व्याकरण / vyākaraṇa which is a branch of Veda. The माहेश्वर-सूत्राणि / māheśvara-sūtrāṇi which were given to earnest seekers explain how a meaningful 'word' is formed from the 52 letters अक्षराणि / akṣarāṇi, and is a great tool to explain the meaning already present there in each and every word that humans can utter knowingly or unknowingly. Veda insist that no word is meaningless. And the origin of 52 letters अक्षराणि / akṣarāṇi, is what पाणिनि / pāṇini discovered only, for the Sound (संस्कृत / saṃskṛta स्वन् / svan ) has an existence eternal, immortal.
The teachings of Veda could be imparted only to those who are deserving, willing and eligible also for the same.
And to preserve the purity of Veda, the only two languages that were fit were / are Tamil and संस्कृत / saṃskṛta. Looks a bit preposterous!
Let us see why!
The structure of संस्कृत / saṃskṛta language lays stress upon the phonetics and syllabic 'roots' of each and every sound-value / phoneme. And even the loudness and sharpness / mellowness of the sounds also has to be considered. Thus Veda should be learnt only from a competant ācharyā,
And though one can 'copy-down' the text so learned, repeating this same does not lead one to the wisdom expressed through them. Unless the devatā- principle does not agree to help. This devatā- principle is the couple प्राण-चेतना / prāṇa-cetanā, which enables one to 'see' the meaning of the text.
As I have told in another post, there are 33 such devatā in all that rule over the subtle realms of the existence. And Shiva / Mahādeva is The God-head of all such devatā -the spiritual entity with power to rule over the existence from subtle-most to grosser levels of existence.
In a way Shiva holds all the cosmic-threads.
Once again, There is a lock in all veda. To protect those who don't deserve the learning.
When a vedika text is written-down in any language, it at once loses certain hidden impacts. For example, if it is written even in संस्कृत / saṃskṛta or Tamil, it could not be read by one in strict obedience of the rules of phonetics of these languages unless one has not learned the same from a competent ācharyā,
Now it is interesting to note how one even an expert in spoken Tamil, could not tell you the correct pronunciation of a Tamil / संस्कृत / saṃskṛta vedika-text, if he has not learned directly under the supervision of such a competent ācharyā,
The reason is simple. Ask any Tamil-knowing person how he pronounces ka, kha, ga, gha, ( क ख ग घ in संस्कृत / saṃskṛta) and writes them in Tamil script. The same is true about 'Ta', 'Tha' 'Da', 'Dha' (ट ठ ड ढ in संस्कृत / saṃskṛta) and 'ta', tha', 'da' 'dha' (त थ द ध in संस्कृत / saṃskṛta) .
This way the Teachings of Veda is best secured and access is not available to any one not fit for studying Veda.

Why Shiva is the only Supreme Authority?

There is an extremely fascinating proof how संस्कृत / saṃskṛta holds the 'key' to all other languages.
There is one संस्कृत / saṃskṛta composition in praise of Lord Rama राम and Lord श्रीकृष्ण / śrīkṛṣṇa
This is a composition of a literary genre of poetry known as अनुलोम-विलोम / anuloma-viloma. The same words in every stanza that are sung in the praise of Lord Rama, with the letters are reversed, turn the hymn as if has been addressed to Lord श्रीकृष्ण / śrīkṛṣṇa !
Lord Rama, Lord श्रीकृष्ण / śrīkṛṣṇa are same as Lord Hari / हरि , viṣṇu, विष्णु।
--
This fits perfectly well in वैदिक पौराणिक / vaidika / paurāṇika parlance and there is no contradiction or violation of truths expounded in the Veda.
