Kaatantra inquiry

[aklujkar at unixg.ubc.ca]

A few weeks ago, in response to an inquiry from Dr. R. Torella, Prof.
Madhav Deshpande referred to a very useful1975  publication on Kaatantra
grammar by Jaanakii Prasaada Dviveda.  The same specialist has contributed 
another well-informed volume: 

;Sarva-varman.  Kalaapa-vyaakara.nam : Kalaapa vyaakara.na ke
suutrapaa.thaadi 27 muula-pa.tha tathaa vai;si.s.tya-bodhaka 7
pari;si.s.ta. Sampaadaka.h Jaanakii-prasaada-dviveda.h. Sarnath, Varanasi:
Kendriiya Ucca-Tibbatii-;sik aa-sa.msthaana [= Central Institute of Higher
Tibetan Studies], 1988. Bho.ta-Bhaaratiiya Grantha-maalaa 14.

Another publication not so good is: Kaatantra Vyaakara.na. Edited by R.S.
Saini. Delhi, Varanasi: Bharatiya Vidya Prakashan. 1987. Its chief merit is
in being a Devanagarii recast of the 1933 Bengali script edn by Gurunatha
Vidyanidhi Bhattacharya.
