Vasanthakokilam,
Good amusing effort.
The mythology is that Shiva sounded his damaru after the cosmic dance and its 14 sounds were the Shiva sutras that were the foundation of the Sanskrit alphabet.
The shloka goes
nRttAvasAne NaTarAja rAjO
nanAda DhakkAm navapanchavAram
uddhartu kAmah sanakAdi siddhAn
Etad vimarzhE zivasUtrajAlam

Although it is a good effort, the Māheśvara Sūtras are not supposed to be read out as words like that, in Pāṇini's pratyāhāra method they are supposed to be spelt syllable by syllable.

Yes. The sutra-s are recited as part of the Vedadhyayanam during Sraavana Poornima (observed as 'Aavani Avittam' / Yajurupaakarma) and it has got a 'Swara orientation' too.
As children, we used to enjoy repeating the sutras recited by the Purohita during the ceremony. 'Iti Maaheswaraani Sootraani' would be the concluding mantra.
