[INDOLOGY] Pāṇini

[victor davella]

Dear Jim,

I've pasted below two derivations given in commentaries to the
Prakriyākaumudī or Rāmacandra; the first is by Viṭṭhala in his Prasāda (p.
3 of the first volume) and the second (spanning two portions) is by
Kṛṣṇa Śeṣa in his Prakāśa (pp. 8ff. of the first volume). The former text
can be downloaded here

The latter, here
<https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1NysQ-LteMaqetcAjSKp3QnnxbxOLyLYU?usp=sharing>.
Hope that's helpful.

All the Best,
Victor
