शुक्ल हेमचन्द्र के सिद्धहेम व्याकरण की परिभाषाओं, अर्थात् व्याख्या-नियमों, की परीक्षा करते हैं। किसी व्याकरण-पद्धति के लिए अपेक्षित अंगभूत ग्रन्थों की गणना कर वे हेमचन्द्र की परिभाषाओं की तुलना पाणिनि की अड़तालीस सूत्ररूप परिभाषाओं तथा नागेश के परिभाषेन्दुशेखर से करते हैं, और पाणिनीय ऋण का आकलन करते हैं। Shukla examines the paribhasas, the rules of interpretation, of Hemacandra's Siddhahema grammar. He sets out the component works a grammatical system needs, compares Hemacandra's set with the forty-eight paribhasas embedded in Panini's Astadhyayi and with Nagesa's Paribhasendusekhara, and measures how far Siddhahema is indebted to Panini.
