Abstract
Sentences consist of a group of words. Each word has a relation with its adjacent words. Each word has its own meaning and plays a significant role in understanding the sentence correctly. Sometimes a group of words contribute a different meaning than the meaning of the constituent words. These word groups are called as phrases. The concept of phrase is not suitable to Indian languages. In Sanskrit, the order of occurrence of words has very less significance. This paper describes the role of Panini’s karaka theory and discusses the issues of Sanskrit Parser developed at the University of Hyderabad as a part of Sanskrit-Hindi Accessor cum Machine Translator.
