Panini Grammar: Introduction to Sandhi (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798299447088)

About Pāṇini Grammar: Introduction to Sandhi

Pāṇini's brilliant system of Sanskrit grammar is both intriguing and daunting for many who want to take a deeper look. To serve as an introduction to Pāṇini's aphorisms, this book focuses on just one important grammar cornerstone for Sanskrit students - the rules of sandhi, or the euphonic combination of letters.

Selected sūtras from Pāṇini's masterful creation, the Aṣṭādhāyī, are arranged in three groups - vowel, consonant, and visarga rules and include devanāgarī text, transliteration, word-by-word breakdown, translation, and explanation with examples. An introduction, alphabet chart, pronunciation guide, alphabetical index of the sūtras, and a glossary are also included.
