[Guest guest]

SrI:

 

adiyEn would like to bring to your attention an important book released

by Srimath Azhagiyasingar during the Sohattur sancharam earlier this

week. This is the second book released by the Parankushachar Institute

of Vedic Studies. The earlier one was a commemorative souvenir.

 

Here is a brief note on the book.

Published By: Parankushachar Institute of Vedic Studies (Regd),

‘Parankusha Kripa’, 722, 5th D Cross, H.R.B.R. 2nd Block, Kalyan Nagar,

Bangalore 560043. Ph. 080-25433239.

 

A treatise on the Taittireeya Samhita of Krshna Yajur Veda, wherein

nuances of word splitting with accents and clarifications of ambiguous

euphonic combinations during pada and other vikrti forms of recitation

like Krama, Jata, Ghana etc. are spelt out considering seven important

kinds of ambiguities. This book, though a must for anyone to master the

branch of Taittirreya, has not been available for long after it was

first published with a Sanskrit Commentary in 1918 from Kumbhakonam in

Grantha characters and only the original in Telugu script the same

year. Both of these are clearly not accessible by modern day students

and scholars.

 

The author, having studied the text with great detail from the Late Sri

U.Ve.Sohattur SalakshanaGhanapaathi, MahaVidvan Parankushacharya Swami,

over three decades ago, has rendered the same into Devanagari with many

enhancements like adding accents to examples, providing reference to

locations in the Vedic text, writing a computer program to verify/find

all examples and counterexamples, with indices to words, slokas and

sutras etc. and enriched the text with theoretical discussions also.

This was relesed as the first offering from the Trust established in

the memory of his father, mentor and preceptor with devotion

commemorating his birth cenetenary on 5.2.2006 by HH Sri Van Satakopa

Sri Narayana Yatindra Mahadesikan, the 45th pontiff of Sri Ahobila Mutt

at Sohattur village.

 

This is also available as an e-book and the computer programs can also

be utilised by researchers for acdemic purposes.

 

These are very welcome additions to Vedic scholars, students,

researchers, traditional Veda pathashalas, Libraries etc.

 

Both the books are available for a discounted price if bought together.
