The Astadhyayi of Panini (2 Vols)

This book represents the first attempt in the history of the world to describe and analyse the components of a language on scientific lines. It has been acclaimed as the first and foremost specimen of decriptive grammar but has also been the chief source of inspiration for the linguist engaged in describing languages of different regions. To understand Sanskrit language, and especially that part of it which embodies the highest aspirations of ancient Aryan people, the Brahmanas, Samhitas, Upanishads, it is absolutely necessary to have a complete knowledge of the Grammar elaborated by Panini. yThe present work is an english translation of Ashtadhyayi in two volumes.
