    PREFACE

    Pini is a great grammarian who succeeded in recording the form and


    meaning of every word in Sankrit through his monumental work Adhyy. But
    the way of description of Adhyy suffered in its interpretation from the very
    beginning of its composition. There were generations of grammarians who tried to
    simplify or who struggled to make the book ideal. Candra, Bhoja etc. were some
    of the great Sanskrit grammarians who tried to make the grammar uncomplicated
    and perfect. Candragomin's grammar attempted to remove the techniques used by
    Pini. But Bhoja was in the way to make the Adhyy complete.

    The present study focuses on the concept of Krakas accepted by Pini,


    Candra and Bhoja. Scholars like Melputtr, Murrimisra and Srhara have
    accepted the usages justified by the scholars other than Munitraya .
    Candrcrya has tried to simplify the grammar of Pini. Candra himself
    comments that P{]{hSi nIh*' This means that his grammar
    is brief, complete, and intelligible. In the case of Krakas also Candra followed
    the same methodology and allocates only cases without defining the Krakas.
    Bhoja in turn tries to include the suggestions of Candra also wherever he found it
    to be acceptable. He included the Vrtikas and certain Pinian concepts into
    Stras. Bhoja defines the Krakas with almost the same Stras of Pini. Bhoja's
    intention was to keep the full fledged study of grammar alive with an objective to
    protect the tradition preserved by Pini, Ktyyana and Patajali. To make it

    brief, the observations of Candra and Bhoja regarding Krakas are still
    noteworthy. The first chapter in the present study is a general introduction
    depicting the life and works of Pini, Candra and Bhoja. The second chapter
    describes the concept of Krakas of different grammarians. The third chapter
    treats in detail the Stras of Candra regarding Krakas and they are compared
    with those of Pini. The fourth chapter explains in detail the Stras of Bhoja on
    the topic of Krakas and they are compared with those of Pini and Candra.
    Finally conclusion is given depicting the new findings of the thesis. In translating
    Adhyy the translation by ra Candra Vasu is used at some places and the
    translation of Vkyapadya by K.A. Subrahmania Iyer is also utilized at some
    occasions.
