Hardcover. Zustand: As New. The oldest grammarian of India, whose complete work has come down to us, is Panini, who is also, in many respects, the greatest of all Indian grammarians. His monumental work is entitled Astadhyayi, lit. 'The Eight Chapters'. He has developed a special grammatical language with its own technical terms… and indications of each letter, which is termed by a modern scholar as 'metalanguage'. It is to be noted that Panini's Vyakarana, i.e. grammar, does not consist of the Astadhyayi alone. The Vyakarana is called 'pancanga', (lit.) having five limbs, i.e. having, besides Astadhyayi., four supplementary texts, viz. (1) Dhatupathaa register of verbal roots, (2) Ganapathaa list of words, belonging to particular groups; the first word of each group having been mentioned in a particular sutra of the Astadhyayi (3) The Paribhasasformulations of guiding principles, and (4) Linganusasanaa treatise on the science of gender of Sanskrit words. There are many vulgate editions of the works of Panini. It has been found from experience that the edition prepared by C. Sankararama Sastri and published as No. 2 of the Balamanorama series by Balamanorama Press, Madras, in 1937 (2nd ed.) is by far the best one. It not only presents a very accurate text of the Astadhyayi, the Varttikas, the Ganapatha, and the Dhatupatha, but places all die authentic varttikas and ganas below the relevant sutras. Placing the ganas just below the sutras which refer to them with the words such as adi or prabhrti proves to be very useful to the students. The present edition is a reprint of the Balamanorama edition with an elaborate introduction, by Dr. Ratna Basu, of the University of Calcutta, bringing out the greatness of the tradition of grammatical literature in India in general and of the contribution of Panini to the science of the Sanskrit language, in particular. An index of the sutras has been appended to this edition to facilitate ready referencing.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. In the closing of the 18th century the foundation of the science of Comparative Philology had been laid by the discovery of Sanskrit to the Europeans The science has been fully developed in course of less than two centuries and now it has been known that major European languages and Sanskrit along with t…he latters derivative languages belong to the same family called Indo-European or Indo-GermanicAs a corollary of this discovery it is believed that the English language belongs to the same stock with Sanskrit the eldest surviving sister in the Indo-European family It is very easy to believe is but very difficult to linguistically prove This harculean task has been performed by Dr BK Ray in his monumental work which is now being reprinted The erudition and scientific insight of Dr Ray is simply awe-inspiring He has not only traced the origin of various forms of English morphology?nouns and verbs but has traced the origin and development of each and every example to different stages of the word comparing them with a dozen other language forms and each case citing the cognates from Sanskrit Therefore though the subtitle of the work reads as "A Dissertation on the Origins of the English Language" it is in fact a very well written handbook for the study of the Comparative Indo-European Philology For the students of Sanskrit it is a linguistic study of their language 113 pp.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. The Thesis is something of a tour-de-force. I am impressed with the ability shown here to argue out and to analyse critical theories and to present a Cogent and extremely lucid argument. There is no question of the Candidate Competence. It is publishable as a genuine Contribution to learning and notably…to Eliot Studies. Parthasarathi Mukhopadhyay has offered us some interesting and amazing insights into several points of Concurrence between Critical theories relating to the process of Creation and appreciation of Poetry as projected by T.S. Eliot in his critical essays and those enunciated by Indian Critics Centuries back. He has shown how they held identical views on the idea of tradition, the impersonality of the Poetic Art, and the use of Poetry and the use of Criticism. Professor Subhas Sarkar. It is refreshing that the writer of the present dissertation has made a bold attempt to analyse Eliot views on five fundamental problems concerning the Creative process by applying the yardsticks adopted by Indian Aesthetics and to locate the similarities in the thought currents projected by some of the noted Indian thinkers and Eliot.

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Contents Preface. Abbreviations. Method of transliteration. Introduction. 1. Pallava inscriptions. 2. Pandya period. 3. Chola period. 4. Other inscriptions. Bibliography. Index. Among the thousands of inscriptions discovered in Tamil Nadu the majority were written in Tamil but a fairly large number we…re composed in Sanskrit as well. These epigraphs which are composed wholly in Sanskrit as well as the Sanskrit portions of the bilingual copper plate inscriptions have been of immense help to historians and archaeologists as they provide copious information about various aspects of life in Ancient and Medieval periods in the Tamil Country. Apart from being a source of valuable and authentic historical data these epigraphs which are actually royal documents are also masterpieces of Sanskrit prose and poetry. The Sanskrit verses were composed by very talented poets who were masters of the language and great scholars well read in the epics Puranas and classical Sanskrit works. Their command over Sanskrit and power of imagination while earnestly recording the details of the reign of their kings are clear from a perusal of these inscriptions. The names and achievements of these hitherto unknown poets and scholars are brought to light in this book. This book highlights the literary beauty contained in the Sanskrit epigraphs of Tamil Nadu belonging to the Pallava Pandya and Chola Times (upto c. 1310 A.D.). It offers a fascinating and detailed study of the numerous metres similes rhetoric and poetical style employed by the composers of these epigraphs. The way in which the Ramayana of Valmiki and the numerous works of Kalidasa especially the Raghuvamsa (have influenced the style of the poets of ancient Tamil Nadu is also clearly seen here. This book is indeed a distinct and valuable contribution to the field of epigraphy as well as Sanskrit studies. 136 pp.

Alankaras in the Madhuravijayam. 6. Rasa delineation in the Madhuravijayam. 7. Gangadevi's scholarship. 8. Conclusion. Bibliography.… Index. The aim of this work is to draw upon the fullness of the epic poem Madhuravijayam. An attempt to analyse the writings of Gangadevi carefully and systematically shows that these writings are rich in historical accounts of Vijayanagar Empire. There is of course no dearth of research papers or book lets on this epic poem but a single and systematic study of the Madhuravijayam in its literary and historical perspectives has to my knowledge not yet been undertaken. With this in view it has taken up the work a literary study of the Madhuravijayam. Indeed Gangadevi stands out among the poetesses in the field of Sanskrit Literature. Intelligible in itself Gangadevi writings need no further elucidation for the learned to understand and appreciate them. But for further clarification of Alankaras Rasa delineation etc. the Sanskrit commentary Bhavaprakasika by Subrahmanya Shastri has been frequently referred in this work. This work attempts to show how Gangadevi's reinforces the historical facts and restores literary aspects. This is what may be considered to be the contribution of Gangadevi to the world of secular Sanskrit literature. 208 pp.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. A comparative study of classical Indian and Western drama with special reference to comedy reveals interesting similarities and differences between the two in respect of aesthetic theory theatric practice and elements of dramatic compositionThe common ground between Western and Sanskrit theatre relates t…o the use of stage-devices like pantomime off-stage voices soliloquy and play within the play as well as histrionic elements like dance and music and the exaggerated costume and make up of the characters But apart from these Indian drama as outlined in Natya Sastra and maintained by stage performances through the centuries is markedly different from the Western because while the latter mostly depends on realistic devices the former is basically a stylized mode of theatre which caters to an idealized audience In Western drama the interest of the audience in watching a play lies in the effective rendering of the dialogue so that the verbal text is of primary value But in traditional Sanskrit dramatic practice the actor is encouraged to resort to an elaborate method of improvisation using vocal and or gestural expression supplemented by the appropriate movements of the face and other parts of the body as well as by musical accompaniment The written text has therefore only a minimal importance hereThe method of dramatic composition of the comedies in both Western and Sanskrit traditions also bears striking similarities and divergences These may be seen in the methods of employing plot situation and themes as well as in the creation of character and the use of language In the present study the comedies of Shakespeare and Bhasa have been selected for closer analysis because they seem to encompass within their respective spheres a wide variety of levels and interpretations of Western and Indian comedy The two dramatists also seem to share a common underlying philosophy of comedy namely a joyous involvement in the process of living 168p.

"These minor ruling families are acknowledged to have greatly contributed to the glory of the imperial powers of India, like Rashtrakutas, Chalukyas of Kalyana, and Hoysalas. They much depended on the integrity and the trust-worthiness of these minor ruling families for the purpose of local administration and progress both in war and peace.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. In Western tradition Grammar from Greek grammatike stands for that branch of knowledge which deals with the inflectional forms rules for their application syntax and some times the phonetic system of the language and its representation in writing In India the term vyakarana connotes much more than the te…rm grammar does In Sanskrit the science of language is called vyakarana which includes phonetics etymology accentuation syntax word formation by declension and conjugation and semanticsGrammatical thought in India is coeval with the Vedas The preservation and understanding of the vedic texts were regarded as a religious duty The attempts to analyse the word for their better understanding are as old as the Taittiriya-samhita We know from the Brahmanas and the Upanisads that Vyakarana was regarded as a vedanga ie an auxiliary to the vedic studies since very old times To the oldest phase of Sanskrit grammatical literature belong the pratisakhyas Then follow the grammarians whose works have been lost but who have been referred to by Panini in his monumental work Astadhyayi The oldest grammarian of India whose complete works have come down to us is PaniniThere is an erroneous notion among some people that Paninis is the only grammar of ancient India Ancient and medieval India has not only produced numerous grammarians but also has seen the development of several grammatical schools independent of one another To name a few are Katantra Mugdhabodha Sarasvata Sanksiptasara etc Eminent scholars of Pali and Prakrit did not lag behind They also wrote grammars of their respective languages and dialects For Pali we have the grammars of Kaccayana Moggallana Aggavamsa; for Prakrit Vararuci Trivikrama Markandeya Canda etc Synopses commentaries super-commentaries etc continued to be written since very old time down to our time The bibliographical references contained in this work are very valuable for researchers 220 pp.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Early history of Eastern India is less known than the history of other parts of northern India, primarily due to paucity of material. Whatever material is available was not critically studied by a good number of competent scholars. As a matter of fact, ancient Bengal and adjacent regions never received t…he attention it deserved from scholars from outside Bengal, though Bengal of early days comprised modern West Bengal, Bangladesh, parts of Bihar and eastern Assam. As a result, there are only few books, except the monumental works of Dr. R.C. Majumdar and Nihar Ranjan Roy, on the subject. The Early History of Eastern India by Promode Lal Paul is a noteworthy attempt by a brilliant scholar to bring together the facts regarding the political and cultural history of the region during the Hindu period. It undoubtedly marks a distinctive advance over the existing books on history. The author has studied the subject critically and presented the facts in a detached manner without any bias or prejudice. Paul has facilitated the task of the future historians by a painstaking study of the relevant materials and the results achieved by him are certainly credible and encouraging. The work covers a vast period ending in the twelfth century A.D. The pre-Gupta era of Bengal, quite obscure as it is has been dealt with the help of archaeological and literary findings. The work is divided in twelve chapters. The Pala and Sena Dynasties and their rules have been studied in great details. Chapters on the social and economic conditions and specially on literature, learned men and centres of learning are quite illuminating.

The present book is a pioneering work in the interpretation of Shakespeares problem plays It strikes a new line of approach developing the concept of double vision to explain the contradictions and enigmas in all the recognized problem plays of Shakespeare The controversial issues in the three Problem Co…medies Hamlet Antony and Cleopatra and Julius Ceasar are resolved by a plausible analysis of their characters and situations In a detailed analysis of each play all those baffling problems which have been attributed to deficiency of creative power or imperfect transmutation or otherwise treated as insoluble mysteries have been shown to be quite intelligible in the light of Shakespeares double vision Each play emerges as a stage in the dramatists progressive illumination of the human conditionThe book is aimed at finally placing each play as a positive artistic creation in the genre as against the half-way-house approaches which attribute their problematic nature to imperfect handling of plot or character Establishing double vision as Shakespeares habitual dramatic mode the book links his artistry with that of Sophocles and Euripides in this form which was already handled by these Greek dramatists pointing out the new dimensions given to it by Shakespeare 295 pp.
