The Astadhyayi of Panini (Set of Six Volumes) (Transliteration and English Translation) (old and rare book)

Rama Nath Sharma was born (1939) at Chhata, Ballia (India) as the eldest son of Pandit Raghunath Sharma, the author of the commentary Ambakartri on the Vakyapadiya of Bhartrhari. He is currently Professor of Sanskrit at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA. After receiving M.A. in Hindi Literature (Allahabad, 1959) and Linguistics (Agra, 1962), he taught Linguistics and Hindi literature at the University of Allahabad (1962-66). He received his Ph.D. (1971) in General Linguistics from the University of Rochester where he also taught Linguistics for five years (1970-75). His research interest includes Linguistic theory in general, and Panini and the Indian grammatical tradition, in particular.

This volume examines the notions of grammar, rule, and derivation with reference to the Astadhyayi as a grammatical device. An attempt has been made to clearly outline and illustrate the basic constructs of the Paninian linguistic theory especially as they relate to the traditional views on the one hand and modern linguistic orientations on the other. A developmental history of the Paninian school focusing on major texts and trend along with a detailed treatment of rule-types, paribhasas, and samasas, complement the discussion of derivational mechanism and related conventions.

II-VI contain the text of the Astadhyayi with English translation, explanatory notes and complete derivational history of all forms cited as examples by the Kasikavrtti.
