[Y-Indology] On the Mahabhashya

[Guest guest]

Mr. Ramesh:

 

If you can read Hindi well then I can tell you this. No book can match Brahm

Dutt Jigyasu and Yudhishthir Mimansak's excellent introduction to Paninian

Linguistics in their book 'Sanskrit Pathan-Paathan ki Anubhoot Saraltam Vidhi' -

Part I and II.

 

This book is published by Ram Lal Kapoor Trust, an Arya Samaji Organization.

They have an office in Nai Sarak in New Delhi.

 

This book is also available in an English translation but doubt if it can do

justice to the original.

PS. In the beginning even this book was not of much help. I happened to come

across this book entirely in simple Sanskrit called 'Vyavaharik Paniniyam' -

published by Aurobindo Ashram, Ponidcherry which got me going and clarified the

basics and then I picked up the rest from the above books.

 

Thanks.

You can start with reading first the Introduction volume and then

the translation volume's of The Astadhyayi of P, translated and

annotated by Rama Nath Sharma, published by Munshiram

Manoharlal publishers in Delhi. This is perhaps the best

readable translation of the A, with modern annotations. Best

wishes,
