Guest guest Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 Greetings all, I am presently studying the saddatthabhedacintA, a ca. 13th century Burmese Pali grammar by Saddhammasiri of Pagan. The editor of the edition I'm using states that the treatise was modelled on a Sanskrit grammar called the zabdArthacintA. I would like to find out more about this Sanskrit work but my search has so far drawn a blank. It is not listed in Coward & Kunjunni Raja's "Philosophy of the Grammarians", Banerji's "Historical Survey of Ancient Indian Grammars", nor in Karl Potter's online bibliography of Indian texts. If any of you are acquainted with it I should appreciate it if you would provide details of its date and authorship, and -- dare I hope? -- of any contemporary edition you know of. Another question: what precisely is the relationship between vyAkaraNa and zabdazAstra? Are they considered to be two separate disciplines, or are they two names for the same thing, or is one of them a branch of the other? Best wishes, Dhammanando Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
