Subjecthood in P??ini’s grammatical tradition

According to the common opinion, there is no place for the grammatical category of subject in P??ini’s grammar of Sanskrit. This is due to the fact that, according to many scholars of P??ini, Sanskrit lacks this category in its grammar. However, if we take into consideration a wider view of what P??ini’s grammar is and what language it presupposes, we can conclude that speaking of subject becomes more sensible, especially if we take into account some subjecthood features that so far have not been used in this respect.
