Aindra School of Grammar
The Aindra (of Indra) school of Sanskrit grammar is one of the eleven schools of Sanskrit grammar mentioned in Pāṇini's Ashtadhyayi. It is named after Indra in allusion to Lord Indra, the king of Gods in Hindu mythology. Arthur Coke Burnell, a renowned orientologist, in his 1875 book, "On the Aindra school of Sanskrit grammars" details this school. Burnell believed that most non-Pāṇinian systems of Sanskrit grammar were traceable to this school of grammar, believed to be the oldest and reputed to be founded by Indra himself.
Aindra, Katantra schools and the Tolkappiyam
Burnell's search for the Aindra school took him to Southern India where he came across the Tamil grammatical work Tolkappiyam. A preface of this work, written during the twelfth century CE by Ilampuranar describes the work as aindiram nirainda Tolkappiyam ('comprising Aindra'). This, Burnell posits is an allusion to the pre-Pāṇinian Aindra school of grammar.
Further, Burnell proceeded to do an exhaustive comparison of the Tokappiyam with two non-Pāṇinian schools of grammar, namely, the Katantra school of Sanskrit grammar and the Kaccayana, a Pali school of Southern India. Based on the comparisons and allowing for divergences due to the structural differences between Tamil and Sanskrit/Pali, Burnell concluded that the Tolkappiyam corresponds to the Katantra school minutely and across the board.

God is Real
by: India ArieThe sweetest honey to the brightest flower
The largest planet to the smallest atom
Snowflakes and the bird kingdom
Smaller thatn the eye can see bigger then the mind can conceive
Heard a man on the radio today
(Spoken)I mean I'm not going to believe in anything that I can't see and I've
been through a lot of hardships in my life ya know ya know in my life
Must confess I disagreed with what he had to say
How he could he not believe that God is real
I don't understand how
He could feel that way
When there's earth, air, water, and fire
So many different flowers
Sunshine and rain showers
So many different crystals
And hills and volcanoes
Chorus
That's how I know that God is real
All of this is not by chance
That's how I know that God is real
All of this is not by chance
That's how I know that God is real
I know this is not by chance
That's how I know that God is real
That's how I know that God is real
In St. Lucia I jumped in the water
(Spoken)It was like I was seeing it for the first time. It literally changed
my life.
For the first time I understood its power
As I swam I was cleansed
If I had any doubts
This experience cleared them
Now I know for sure that GOd is real
I know that it's the truth
By the way it feels
Cause I saw starfish and sponges
Fish shaped like trumpets
So many different colors
I stayed out there for hours and I only saw a fraction of a fraction of the
deepest of the deep of the great blue wide
It brought a tear to my eye
Chorus
That's how I know that God is real
All of this is not by chance
That's how I know that God is real
All of this is not by chance
That's how I know that God is real
I know this is not by chance
That's how I know that God is real
We're made of the same stuff
As the moon and the stars
The oceans saltwater just like my tears are
You feel me
The sunrises and sets everyday without fail
Chorus
That's how I know that God is real
All of this is not by chance
That's how I know that God is real
All of this is not by chance
That's how I know that God is real
I know this is not by chance
That's how I know that God is real
