    Vedic Grammar for Students by: Arthur A. Macdonell $15.00$20.00

    Here is a key to unlock the oldest treasury of mankind’s wisdom: Vedic literature — not just the metrical language of its hymns, but also the prose pieces of the Brahmanas/Brah-mana-like writings: whether from the Atharva or the Yujurveda. Setting forth a comprehensive phonetic survey of Vedic sounds, the author: an eminent Orientalist of yester years, offers lucid explanatory accounts of Vedic sandhi-system (euphonic combination), declension, conjugation, indeclinable words, nominal stem formation and, finally, of its syntax — with numerous illustrations. At the base of Macdonell’s Grammar is the first ever, yet the most authentic, linguistic material of the Rigveda — supplemented, though, it is from other Samhitas as well. Also marked here are the grammatical forms of the Brahmanas where they differ from those of the later-day classical Sanskrit. Now ‘reprinted’ afresh in an innovative format, this book has sustained its decades-long worldwide importance as an undisputed, systematically organised aid to the study of Vedic literature. And, for sure, retains its indispensablity to scholars even today!

    Vedic Studies by: Hans Henrich Hock $24.00

    The Vedas hold a position of prominence, both as the oldest documents of Sanskrit and as the most venerable texts of Hinduism.
    This volume contains scholarly papers from the Veda Sessions of the 15th World Sanskrit Conference, touching a broad spectrum of the Vedic tradition and focusing on three major aspects of that tradition: language and linguistics; textual criticism and text edition; and culture, philosophy, mythology.
    Language and linguistics papers range from syntax and semantics (Hock, Küummel) to morphology (Tucker), onomastics (Pinault) and rhetorical structure (Klein). Remarkably, three of the articles in the second part deal with the tradition of Atharvaveda (Bahulkar, Kulkarni, and Rotaru and Sumant); the remaining two focus on Rigveda (Khare and Köhler). Two papers in the last part deal with matters of Vedic philosophy (Benedetti and Vedi), one is devoted to mythology and ritual (Gadgil), and one addresses ritual and material culture (Nishimura).

    Vyakaran Across the Ages by: George Cardona $30.00

    Sanskrit grammatical treatises, not only those of Panini and his successors but also work by Indian scholars representing other streams of grammatical thought, have long held the attention of modern scholars. The present volume contains a selection of the large number of papers presented in the Vyakarana Section of the 15th World Sanskrit Conference held in New Delhi, during 15-20 January 2012.
    The scope covered in these papers is wide. The first contribution deals with currents in European traditions of Sanskrit grammars, from early works by missionaries to modern Sanskrit grammars. As could be expected, however, Panini is the centre of attention for most authors, whose contributions nevertheless differ in focus. Several scholars deal with theoretical issues concerning the interpretation and application of Paninian sutras, including points of Sanskrit syntax. The question whether particles (nipata), and preverbs (upasarga) in particular, should be considered independently to signify particular meanings or instead be treated as terms which serve to cosignify meanings assigned to items with which they co-occur is the object of two studies.
    One paper treats in detail the relations which can be considered to hold between terms and the meanings they signify, with particular emphasis on what Bhartrihari has to say on this topic. A historically-oriented study deals with attacks on Paninian views by Mimamsakas of Prabhakara Naiyayikas. One scholar contrasts how particular nominal forms are derived in the Sarasvata system in contrast to the Paninian derivations of such forms. The final study in this collection brings us into the realm of modern Sanskrit literature, with a discussion of usage in the prose work Shivarajavijaya of Ambika Dutt Vyas.
    Fellow scholars should welcome and profit from the varied studies contained in this volume.

  • वाक्यपदीय तृतीय काण्ड (प्रकीर्णककाण्ड) by: मिथिलेश चतुर्वेदी $45.00

    वाक्यपदीय के तृतीय काण्ड में, जिसे स्वतन्त्र रूप से प्रकीर्णक भी कहा गया हैे, अपोद्धृत पद और पदार्थ का विश्लेषण किया गया है। प्रस्तुत खण्ड में इसी काण्ड के क्रियासमुद्देश से लिङ्गसमुद्देश तक कारिका और उस पर हेलाराजकृत प्रकीर्णकप्रकाश का हिन्दी अनुवाद है। अनुवादक ने कहीं कहीं अर्थसंगति की दृष्टि से मूल पाठ में आवश्यक परिवर्तन किये हैं और मूल की व्याख्या के लिये विस्तृत टिप्पणियाँ भी जोड़ी हैं।

    क्रियासमुद्देश में भर्तृहरि ने क्रिया की अवधारणा पर विस्तार से विचार किया है। पाणिनि धातु की रूपात्मक परिभाषा देते हैं। भर्तृहरि के लक्षण के अनुसार साध्यरूप क्रमवान् अर्थ क्रिया है। इस लक्षण में प्रश्न उठता है कि “अस्ति” क्रिया की वाच्य कैसे है? सत्ता तो नित्य है, साध्य नहीं है और क्रमशून्य है। भर्तृहरि समाधान में कहते हैं कि “अस्ति” में कालानुपाती रूप का बोध होता है।

    तृतीय काण्ड में यद्यपि पद और पदार्थ का विश्लेषण किया गया है तथापि भर्तृहरि की दार्शनिक दृष्टि का परिचय इस काण्ड में भी सर्वत्र मिलता है। जन्म और नाश, इन दोनों भाव-विकारों का निरूपण भर्तृहरि परिणामवाद और विवर्तवाद दोनों दृष्टियों से करते हैं। वैशेषिक दर्शन में काल द्रव्य है जो एक, नित्य और विभु है। भर्तृहरि के मत में काल ब्रह्म की मुख्य शत्तिफ़ है जो सभी शत्तिफ़यों पर नियन्त्रण रखती है। वृत्ति में इसे ब्रह्म की स्वातन्=यशत्तिफ़ कहा है। काल यद्यपि एक ही है किन्तु उपाधियों के भेद से उसमें अनेकत्व का व्यवहार होता है। वे काल से सम्बन्धित कुछ भाषिक प्रयोगों की चर्चा भी करते हैं। लिङ्गसमुद्देश में वैयाकरणों की लिङ्गविषयक अवधारणा को स्पष्ट करने का प्रयास किया गया है। इस विषय में वैयाकरण का अभिमत सिद्धान्त यही है कि लिङ्ग वस्तुधर्म है और सत्त्व, रजस् और तमस् गुणों की अवस्था-विशेष है। इसी प्रकार अन्य अवधारणाओं से सम्बद्ध अनेक महत्त्वपूर्ण प्रश्नों पर इन समुद्देशों में चर्चा की गई है।
