I am happy to recommend P.B. Junnarkar's Introduction to Panini. This work shows a student the way the different parts of Panini's Astadhyayi interact to derive, inflect, and construe Sanskrit words.
This four volume work was first published in the 70s and 80s. It was republished in 2013-2015. (I usually reach for the first set of volumes as I find the nagari font of the second edition difficult to read.) https://search.worldcat.org/title/5414044 Otherwise S.M. Katre's introduction to his translation of the Astadhyayi is a wonderful overview of the grammar.
