Auktikas. Auktikas are not, as the late Dr. Dhruva supposed, grammars of old Gujarati, but short grammatical treatises on the elements of Sanskrit syntax meant for beginners; they contain explanations and examples in the Gujarati language of their time. These Auktikas are, therefore, of much importance to the students of old Gujarati. The late Dr. Dhruva has published one such Auktika, Mugdhāvabodha by Kulamaņdana, dated Samvat 14603 But as the work was published from a single MS and the knowledge of old Gujarati was at that time in a very primary stage, the edition had been far from satisfactory and was much criticized. Now we can collect more than half a dozen reliable MSS of this work, and re-edit the work in the light of new researches. The Pattan Bhandars contain five other Auktikas.
