The rules of grammar and usage in Sanskrit have varied over ages.The language in Vedas, Upanishads, Epics, Puranas, Technical Texts, Kavyams, and modern usage have all variations. The style of Kalidasa, Bharavi, Valmiki, and Vyasa, for example differ substantially. I do not want to argue on this issue. If you are saying that Sankrit was straitjacketed and immutable in language and grammar thorughout its existence and did not undergo any change, and you are a student of Sanskrit in anyway, I strongly disagree with you. Sanskrit is not just what a Vadhyar or a head of a Mutt says. Then again, social media is not the the right forum where we can dicuss and debate threadbare the evolution of the language its academic thoroughness. It is a fact that the variations in that language are not as pronounced and visible as in other spoken languages over time and region. Then Sanskrit has also been dynamic in its own way. All earnest learners know that. This statement requires no fortification. The Sanskrit news read by Baladevananda Sagara and company is not exactly what we see in agnimeele purohitam or asthyutharasyaam disi. In addition, the language used by a Malayalee or a Tamilian or one from Hindi belt vary not only in pronunciation, but in narrative details too. Moreover, they have coined many technical terms in Sanskrit Language too even in the twenty-first century.
