I have not been able to find this in our library. Is there a legal PDF of it available?

Check Dayanananda saraswati's avyaya volume (I forgot the exact title, but it is available on archive) and also check Avyaya Kosa Published from Chennai.(Right now I cannot check the exact name of the publisher and author)

The book Krishnaprasad is referring to is likely to be: Pt. V. Srivatsankacharya, Avyayakośa: A dictionary of indeclinables, The Samskrit Education Society, Madras 1971. A book that I fully recommend!

Alas Bochenski's discussion (art. 53 sec. F) consists of 9 lines, 3 lines of which are a schema for the three conditions of the Trairuupya, are translations of eva, respectively, as "wholly", "only" and "never".

On `eva', see the following:

Kajiyama, Y. 1973 Three kinds of affirmation and two kinds of negation in
Buddhist philosophy. Wiener Zeitschrift für die Kunde Südasiens: v. 17,
pp. 161 – 175.

ical) quantification in Sanskrit. Wiener Zeitschrift für die Kunde Südasiens:

An appendix to the last article provides a taxonomy of the various usages found in the Svaarthaanumaana section up to verse 38 of Dharmakı̄rti's Pramaa.navaarttika. I have found that taxonomy to be borne out in various readings I have done since then. (There are usages which were to me, at least, unclassifiable.)

Dear Birgit,

Betty Hermann's The Significance of Prefixes in Sanskrit Philosophical Terminology
though not quite what you are looking for,
may be of interest in this context nevertheless.

And, if I recall correctly, Bochenski, in his History of Formal Logic, has a useful discussion of the logical use of eva.

best,
Matthew

Jan Gonda once published a 15 page article about the Sanskrit particle api entitled "The Sanskrit Particle api.”

I think Luther Obrock has a useful flow chart laying out its usage too.

All the best,
Eric

How can I forget. I myself wrote an article on kira/kiri as well:  “Two Peculiar Usages of the Particle kira/kiri in Apabhraṃśa”. Sambodhi 32 (2009), 33-36.
In this article I refer to Van Daalen's article mentioned in my previous mail, published in IIJ XXX (1988), pp, 111-137 and to I. Ickler, Die vedische Partikel kila, published in Zeitschrift für vergleichende Sprachfirschung 90 (1976), pp. 50-86.

Onderwerp: Re: [INDOLOGY] Resources for commentarial interpretations of particles

The article by Emeneau, entitled "Sanskrit syntactic particles ---
khalu, khila and nuunam", appeared, if I recall correctly, in JOAS in 1969.

I don't recall where Joel's article appeared.

Hi Birgit:

Off the top of my head, there is the wonderful article on “iva” by Joel Brereton, and I think on “khila” by Emeneau.

Dear colleagues,

I was wondering whether any of you know of resources to recommend especially to students on commentarial interpretations of particles, especially api, ca, tu, eva, which function as connectives and logical operators. I am particularly interested in presentations of the range of options that are available from vyākaraṇa analysis, and discussions of the metalanguage used (e.g. avadhāraṇa, samuccaya, sambhāvanā, atiśaya ...).

There is much material tucked away in footnotes to various publications, of course, there are helpful classics like Speijer's Sanskrit Syntax, there are some remarks in introductory textbooks and grammar works, and some efforts were made towards compiling patterns of commentarial language inTubb & Bose's "Scholastic Sanskrit" and in Angot's recent "Sanskrit commentarial", and there are articles dealing with specific particles and their logical implications (esp. eva), but I have not come across attempts to offer more comprehensive inventories of the terms śāstric commentators use in interpreting particles.

Pointers would be much appreciated; I'll collect responses and post a list later.

With best regards,

Birgit kellner
