'''''Siddhantakaumudi''''' ({{IAST|Siddhānta Kaumudī}}) is a book by [[Bhaṭṭoji Dīkṣita]] on [[Sanskrit grammar]]. Its full name ''Vaiyakaranasiddhantakaumudi''. Bhattoji Dixit composed Siddhanta Kaumudi on the basis of [[Prakriyakaumudi]]. He himself wrote [[Praudha Manorama Tika]] on this book.<ref name="original">{{Cite book |last=Dīkṣita |first=Bhaṭṭoji |url=https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.485798 |title=Siddhanta Kaumudi- Preface and Contents; with English explanation |year=1700–1800 |location=Maharashtra, India |author-link=Bhaṭṭoji Dīkṣita}}</ref><ref name="trans">{{Cite web |title=Book information by government of India; Sanskrit book archived |url=http://indianculture.gov.in/rarebooks/siddhanta-kaumudi |access-date=4 July 2023 |website=www.indianculture.gov.in}}</ref> Bhattoji dikshita's disciple [[Varadarāja]] also became a great scholar of grammar.

<br />
In the ancient practice of studying [[Pānini|Paṇiniyān grammar]], the order of Paniniya sutrapath was considered as the basis. This sequence was difficult from the point of view of experiment, because formulas of different chapters had to be used to do the same experiment. Seeing this difficulty, there was a need to invent such a method in which all [[sutras]] necessary for the achievement of a particular experiment are available at one place.<br />
<br />
As [[Western Countries|Western countries]] are being interested in Sanskrit, ''Siddhantakaumudi'' along with [[Astadhyayi]] and other books, are becoming widely researched.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Shastri |first=Parth |date=28 February 2014 |title=West has revived knowledge in Sanskrit |work=[[The Times of India]] |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/ahmedabad/west-has-revived-interest-in-sanskrit-logic-rhetoric/articleshow/31184749.cms |access-date=4 July 2023}}</ref><br />

== Contents of book ==<br />
Siddhantakaumudi is more popular than [[Ashtadhyayi]]. The sutras of the Ashtadhyayi have been collected and explained under appropriate headings in permutations. Thus Siddhantakaumudi is more organized and can be easily understood.<br />
<br />
Paniniyan sutras are defined such as<br />
{{Blockquote| ''adeṅ guṇaḥ'' /1/1/2.({{lang|sa|अदेङ् गुणः}})<br />
: {{IAST|idaṃ hrasvasya akārasya ekāra-okārayośca guṇasañjñāvidhāyakam sūtram. asya sūtrasya vṛttiḥ evamasti, ad eṅ. ca guṇasaṃjñaḥ syāt.}}<br />
:: ''This is the formula for the property noun of the short {{IAST|a}}, the ekara ({{IAST|e}}) and the okara ({{IAST|o}}). The instinct of this formula is as follows, {{IAST|a}} and {{IAST|eṅ pratyāhara}}. It would be a quality ({{IAST|guṇa}}) noun.''|source=Siddhantakaumudi<ref name="trans"/>}}<br />
