on vyaakaraNa-kauNDinya

[Madhav Deshpande]

	The only text ascribed to Kau.n.dinya which comes within the broad
category of grammatical/phonetic literature is Kau.n.dinya"sik.saa.  This
is included in Vedavik.rtilak.sa.nasa.mgraha edited by K.V. Abhyankar and
G.V. Devasthali, Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute, Pune 1978.  There
is no reason to believe that this Kau.n.dinya has anything to do with the
Kau.n.dinya mentioned in the Buddhist texts.
