Description
Sahitya Akademi The Astadhyayi of panini with translation and explanatory notes Volume IX (6 4 1-6 4 175) by S D Joshi and J A F Roodbergen
Panini Took His Place In A Line Of Grammarians And Teachers Of Sanskrit. He Is Known To Have Mentioned Ten Predecessors By Name. It Goes Without Saying That He Must Have Borrowed A Considerable Quantity Of Material, Whether Literally Or In A Modified Form. But All This Can Not Hide His Originality As A System-Builder, His Amazing Ability To Formulate A Comprehensive Grammatical System.
