Scientific literature found developed in the Sutra Period. The Sutra style of aphoristic prose, the oldest form, in which all the sciences were taught in the schools of Braahmanaas.
Characteristic of this Sutra style and further of that of the scientific literature in particular is the use of nouns with almost wholesome suppression of verbs. Abstract nouns and compounds are used with prediction.
The Sutra style was also retained in the
technical schools, especially in the works of earlier ages; but frequently in
the manner that either the author himself or one of his disciples appended a BHASHYAM
or commentary, based on it; thus developed the Bhashya style, a highly
developed form learned prose, in scientific literature, probably first of all
in Grammar and in Philosophy.
