Shiva's damru and Sanskrit grammar

Panini was a student of a gurukula (system of education in 4th century BC). He was a dull student, and was teased by many of his friends. So, worried of his situation, the guru mata (wife of guru) advised him to go to Himalayas and do tapas. So he went to Himalayas and started meditating to lord Shiva. Lord Shiva was pleased with his strong tapas. He came and danced before Panini. While dancing, the sound from his damaru (the small drum like music instrument that Shiva has) was heard by Panini as the Maheshwara Sutra that form an indispensable part of Sanskrit grammar.
