The Ashtadhyayi of Panini, the Mahabhasya of Patanjali, and the Kashika Vritti of Jayaditya deal with the principles of grammar. These ancient Indian texts are highly influential in the study of grammar and linguistics.

Option 1: Principles of Law - This answer is incorrect. The mentioned texts do not concern principles of law but focus specifically on grammar.

Option 2: Principles of Phonetics - This answer is incorrect. While the Ashtadhyayi and the Mahabhasya do touch upon phonetics to some extent, their primary emphasis is on grammar rather than phonetics.

Option 3: Principles of Grammar - This is the correct answer. The Ashtadhyayi of Panini, the Mahabhasya of Patanjali, and the Kashika Vritti of Jayaditya are renowned for their detailed exploration of the principles of grammar.

Option 4: Principles of Linguistics - This answer is partially correct. Linguistics is a broader field that encompasses grammar, phonetics, morphology, and other aspects of language. The texts in question primarily focus on grammar, but they do contribute to the development of linguistic theories.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 3
