Lalithambal, K.S. - DHARMAKIRTI’S RUPAVATARA. A Critical Study.

Title: DHARMAKIRTI’S RUPAVATARA. A Critical Study.
Description: New Delhi, Sri Satguru Publications, 1995. 1st edition 220 pp. cloth with dustjacket. In the 10/11th century a Buddhist Pandit, Dharmakirti undertook the task of remoulding Paninis grammar as a reply to the classroom needs and presented it in the form of a series of formations of words entitled Rupavatara. This new appearance of Panini succeeded in popularizing and establishing, once again, the Paninian tradition in the Indian system of education. The emergence of the Rupavatara lay foundation of a new teaching methodology in Fatiinian School which culminated in the Vaiyakaraa Siddhantakaumudi of Bhattoji Diksita. The method popularly known as the Prakriy method has been the popular method of studying Pxini since its emergence. Since the reestablishment of Paninian tradition in the history of the study of Sanskrit grammar is due to the introduction of the prakriya method, Rupavatara which serves as a gate-way to this method occupies an important position in the study of Paninian grammatical tradition. The present work, which is a critical study of this important text, fulfils the longfelt desideratum for a good, complete work dealing with Rupavatara, with all its aspects. Dustjacket shows minor edgewear. Otherwise nice and clean copy.
