encountered in the editing this work. Prof. Vasudev Ghushe in his keynote address highlighted the salient features of the editor's effort. He said that the nine appendices including a genetic concordance of Buddhisagara's work with other grammars were highly useful features of the edition. He also tried to identify Buddhisagara's view regarding the verbal cognition (sabdabodha) which in Prof. Ghushe's opinion seems to have the Nyaya influence. Prof. Jaidev Jani compared the work with Panini's grammar and showed how Buddhisagara has presented many rules of Panini with greater brevity. Dr. Lalit Kr. Tripathi, Dr. Chandra Bhushan Jha and Dr. Ashok Kr. Singh also presented their papers in the seminar. Dr. Jha felt the need for composing a new grammar which would incorporate the best features of defferent grammatical traditions.
