PĀNINI.
Pāṇini, it is well known is the firet systematic Grammarian, wbose work, the Astādhyāys is still the marvel of the whole world. Written more than 8800 years ago acccording to the most moderate estimate, it is still a work, not superseded by others. We owe to Dr. Goldstucker an approximate estimate of the date of Papini. His famous monograph on Panini is a mine of information and gives us all the particulars regarding Pånini. Copies of the Amadbyāys are described under Nos.: 5326-5366,
