Now that UddanDa has been mentioned, can mention of kAkkashshEri BhaTTatiri be
far behind?
Legend has it that uddanDa was undefeated in debate in Calicut for years. Once
day a boy of short stature walked into the annual scholarly gathering Revathi
BhaTTadAnaM (pattathaanam in Malayalam). uddanDa remarked contemptuously
AkAro hrasvaH
"short stature"
implying the boy was too young to be a serious competitor, to which, the boy
responded, punning on the possible alternate meaning of AkAraH,
AkAro dIrghaH | akAro hrasvaH
" the letter A is long, a is short"
loose translation, "I may be young, but you've probably forgotten most of
grammar at your advanced age" :)
according to legend, the debate ended in the first defeat for uddanDa, and the
boy, kAkkasseri bhaTTatiri (named after his ability to identify individual
crows as a child) eventually succeeded him as the top scholar of the Zamorin's
court.

There is an anecdote about Uddanda Shastri.
He looks upon Kerala poets with contempt.
The above verse shows the same.
Meaning: Bhaashaakavinivaha = the gang of Malayalam poets.
They shine in the sky like the moon,
which is generally not round. Also meaning without proper meters.
When the sun's rays come the moon's rays disappear.
Also when confronted by learned people (suuri aaloke)
they fail in their outpourings.

priya mitrANi,
(This lesson is a bit long, please bear with me)
So far, I've introduced some terminology that paaNini's grammar uses
throughout, and laid out the phonetic basis of the Sanskrit language.
What paaNini did in his grammar treatise is not to impose rules on how
Sanskrit *should be* spoken. He has observed the language usage up to his
time, and discovered a way to concisely describe the guidelines governing
that usage. He *synthesized a grammar that explains Sanskrit usage* as
opposed to stipulate a grammar that should govern its usage. Also, he
doesn't talk about why a usage should be the way it is either. Please keep
these in mind when reading these lessons. Then you'll be able to appreciate
the gargantuan task that he took on, and what a fantastic job he did. I
heard that there are other supramental (beyond-the-mind) implications of the
Sanskrit language, where paaNini's grammar is of value too. But we are
focusing only on the utilitarian value here because I'm not competent to
talk about the other.
What's the utility of such a grammar in the present day? That's an important
question. Please mull over it yourselves as we make this journey.
We now turn to the next chapter of the ??? ????????? ?????? (LSK) called
sandhi prakaraNaM - Rules of joining sounds together.
Let's start with an example. In Sanskrit usage,
sudhI + upaasyaH is uttered as 1) suddhyupaasyaH or 2) sudhyupaasyaH
sudhI = intelligent
upaasyaH = adored, respected.
*sudhii upaaSyaH* means *respected (even) by pandits*.
But how did that happen? We shall examine the paaNini sUtras that help us
justify both forms.
*Six Types of paaNini sUtras (rules)*
paaNini has defined various types of sUtras (rules) and their interplay to
suit his purpose. Some sUtras
1. define terms (*saMj~naa*)
2. explain how to interpret other sUtras (*paribhAShA*)
3. are rules, i.e., generalizations in their true sense (injunctions or *
vidhi*)
4. restricts the application of another rule (*niyama*) - (I'm not sure
about this)
5. describe a special case exception to another rule (*atidesha*)
6. defines the area/domain of applicability of another rule (*adhikaara*)
*?????? ? ??????? ? ?????????? ?? ?
???????????????? ??????? ?????????????
*
Can somebody explain if I captured these correctly? What's the difference
between niyama, atidesha and adhikaara sUtras?
Quiz: For each of the rules I introduce below, please tell me which rule
type it is.
Back to our example suddhyupaasyaH. There are zillions of similar conjoined
words in vogue. How to explain the sandhi-kaaryam (joining action) that
governs all of them in a few rules? Here's paaNini's answer:
*???????*
ikoyaNachi
*ikaH *sthaane *yaN *syaat *achi *saMhitaayaaM viShaye
*???* ?????? *???* ?????? *???* ????????? ?????
Here ikaH means ik varNasya (ShaShThii vibhakti)
yaN varNa (ya va ra la) takes the place of ik varNa (i u R^i L^i) in the
presence of ach varNas (a i u e o ai au). This type of letter-replacement
kaaryam is called aadeShaH.
sudh + I + upaasyaH = sudh + y + upaasyaH
Now if you're paying attention, you'll ask a question. What does "in the
presence of" mean? before or after the ach varNa?
That's answered by the following sutra:
*??????????? ?????????? ???????? *
*tasminniti nirdiShTe pUrvasya *
*tasmin iti nirdiShTe* sati, kaaryaM *pUrvasya* bodhyam (is my paraphrasing
correct? - pandits! help me)
?????? ????????? ????????? ?????? ??????????? ??????????? ???????? ???????
saptamI nirdeshena vidhiiyamaanaM kAryaM varNaantareNa avyavahitasya
pUrvasya bodhyaM |
???????? = not separated, adjoining, unintervened
?????? = to be understood
????????? ?????? = stipulated action
(If the instruction contains "in X", the action should be understood as
applying to the letter immediately preceding X in the sUtra).
varNaantareNa avyavahitasya pUrvasya iti = action applies ach's preceding ik
that is unintervened by another varNa.
Now the next question is, exactly which letter in yaN replaces which letter
in ik?
That is answered by the following sUtra:
*?????????????? |*
sthaane.antaratamaH |
prasa~nge sati sadR^ishatama aadeshaH syaat |
In this context (prasa~nga), the most equivalent letter (closest in
pronunciation) will replace.
i u R^i L^i + ach = y v r l + ach
i -> y (i chu ya shaanaam taalU)
u -> v (u pu upadhmaaniiyaanaam oShThau)
R^i -> r (R^i Tu ra shaanaaM mUrdhaa)
L^i -> l (L^i tu la saanaaM dantaaH)
We're not yet done with our explanation of suddhyupaasyaH. I'll complete it
in my next lesson.
Quiz:What is the rule type of each of the above rules?
- Sai.

'ish' dhatu in 4th gana ( parasmai - ishyati) means 'go', the same dhatu
'ish' in 6th gana means ( parasmai -ichchati) 'wish', the same dhatu 'ish'
in 9th gana parasmai-(ishNAti) means repeat.
Some roots are found included in different GaNas, with differen formations
and different meanings. 'ish' is one such root.

Dear Mehul
I sincerely apologize for my mistake. The name is 'Devavanipravesika: An
Introduction to the Sanskrit Language'The book has a continuous story of
Ramayan in author's own words. I found the reading exercises to be extremely
pleasant and easy to read.
One book that I will highly recommend is Ramopakhayanam. It is word to word
translation + grammatical analysis of the whole of Rama's story in
Mahabharat. I found that it greatly helped my reading of MahaBharat in terms
of vocabulary etc. Also, some of it is available in online format at
http://sanskritlibrary.org/ (you need to register - free registeration). I
cannot recommend this book enough. If you are learning Sanskrit, I would try
to get hold of this book for sure, specially if you are self-studying with
no access to any teacher.
I also heard that the same author has a portion of Sri Vishnu Purana in
work. No need to add that I am waiting for that book in high anticipation.
Regards,
Pankaj

I found these resources to be useful:
1) Devaprasthanika has 1 page simplified stories based on Ramayan. I found
them very readable.
2) Sanskrit Sambodhini has a few stories at the end which were pretty
readable.
3) Elementary Sanskrit Grammar by Monier Williams had texts at the end which
are real text extracts, but very self contained and clean in language. This
might be slightly more involved than 1) and 2).
I would appreciate a list of such resources as well.

Please contact Sri Shirish Bhedasgaonkar.
shirish...@gmail.com
This mail is being cc'ed to him.
He organises numerous short term Sanskrit classes in Pune and other places.
You can also contact him regarding Sanskrit postal correspondence courses.
All the best.

In the 14 maheshvara sutra, the ha occurs twice. Im sure there is a reason
why Panini did that way.
But here is my question -- ha ya va ra T | and ha L | are two pratyaharas.
Here, yaL is same as haL
haL includes ha twice.
I would appreciate if someone could clarify my doubts on why Panini chose to
use haL instead of yaL. Afaik he has not used yaL at all.

I am having trouble in parsing the following stanza and understanding
its meaning.
I will appreciate if someone can clarify my questions below:
na - karmaNAm-anArambhAt-naishkarmyam-puruShaH-ashnutE
na-ca-sa~Nya sanAt - Eva- sidhdhim-samadhi-gacchati
Q1. What is meant by "naishkarmyam"?
Q2. What is the meaning of line 1? For instance, is it this?
anArambhAt=without doing, karmaNAm=actions, puruShaH=a human,
na-ashnutE=will not get, naishkarmyam=??
Q3. What is the meaning of line 2? For instance, is it this?
Eva= merely, sa~Nya= by giving up, sanAt= actions??,
na-samadhi-gacchati= will not get, sidhdhim=fulfillment
Q4. Somehow I thought, the intent was to say:
"by doing actions alone, one will not get the objective and
by not doing (or giving up) actions also one will not get that
objective"
But somehow the parsing seems to be wrong and I do not quite
get the meaning.

My understanding is as follows:
"naishkarmyam" means freedom from the need for action. Basically the first
line means that just by not pursuing your duty you do not attain the freedom
your responsibility towards that action. In other words, you may avoid
action but you cannot avoid your responsibility.
The second line means that renunciation of action by itself cannot lead to
perfection. Siddhi is the culmination of the path of knowledge. Inaction by
itself cannot lead you to that goal.
I am sure there will be other views from knowledgeable members.
Regards
Balaji
