'''''Sarasvati-Kanthabharana''''' ({{lang-sa|सरस्वती-कण्ठाभरण}}, {{IAST|Sarasvatī-Kaṇṭhābharaṇa}}) [{{Translation|''Necklace of the Goddess [[Sarasvati]]''}}] is a [[Sanskrit]] [[Vyākaraṇa|Vyakarana]] treatise, authored by [[Bhoja|Bhoja deva]], a king of [[Paramara dynasty]] in the 11th century AD. The work consists of eight chapters, each further divided into four-quarters dealing with both non-Vedic and [[Vedic]] language. The work is styled in a similar fashion as [[Pāṇini]]'s [[Pāṇini#Aṣṭādhyāyī|Aṣṭādhyāyī]]. Some experts consider the Bhoja's work as an revision of the veteran Panini and among "most voluminous" Sanskrit works. The book has incorporated many [[sutra]]s from various Sanskrit authors in the form of his grammar.{{sfn|Dash|2007|p=171}} Some commentators also argue that the work is also known as ''Lakshana-Prakasha''.<ref name="Datta1987">{{cite book|author=Amaresh Datta|title=Encyclopaedia of Indian Literature: A-Devo|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ObFCT5_taSgC&pg=PA15|year=1987|publisher=Sahitya Akademi|isbn=978-81-260-1803-1|page=15}}</ref> While some note, Bhoja had authored another extensive work, which concentrated on poetry with the same title.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Birwe |first1=Robert |title=Narayana Dandanatha's Commentary on Rules III.2, 106-121 of Bhoja's Sarasvatikanthabharana |journal=Journal of the American Oriental Society |date=1965 |volume=84 |issue=2 |page=150 |doi=10.2307/597101 |jstor=597101 }}</ref> In line with many Sanskrit grammarians who had incorporated Panini's Vedic sutras to understand classical Vedic [[mantra]]s. Bhoja asserts anyone who aspires to learn [[Vyākaraṇa|Sanskrit grammar]], has to query everything from the sutra's alone and not to search in different texts.{{sfn|Dash|2007|p=174}} [[Radhamadhab Dash]], a Sanskrit scholar and Vice-Chancellor of [[Shri Jagannath Sanskrit Vishvavidayalaya]]<ref name="Dash">{{cite web |url=https://www.business-standard.com/article/pti-stories/radhamadhab-dash-appointed-as-new-vc-of-sanskrit-varsity-116080901302_1.html |title=Radhamadhab Dash appointed as new VC of Sanskrit Varsity &#124; Business Standard News |format= |work= |accessdate=2020-06-17}}</ref> commends Sarasvati-Kanthabharana of Bhoja and compares it to Panini and observes that no other grammarians have attempted to present the classical Sanskrit grammar in a Vedic perspective.{{sfn|Dash|2007|p=181}}<br />
