The Pancagranthi-Vyakarana of Buddhisagarasuri
not go beyond the First Adhikära which is mentioned as Sımskstadhikara in the colophone at the end of the last Adhyā, a 54 since the work for - mally ends with the close of the last Adnyaya of the Sam kļ äihi kāra.55 after which start the concluding verses giving the details about the author's preceptorial genealogy from Mahāvica onwards. 56
The work is divided into Adhyāyas, which are further subvided into the pādas. But the author has iudicated the end of the Adhyāya upto that of the second one only. Similarly, he has shown the end of the Pāda upto that of the thirteenth only. Then onwards upto the end of the work, we are at a loss to find that neither the end of an Adhyāya nor that of any pada has been indicated, so much so that when the au her declares the closure of the 'Samiks.ainkāra,' we are not sure as to which Päda of which Adhyāya has come to an end! We can only surmise that the work, or the Samsk stādbikāra, hai proceeded upto the end of the fourteenth pida, i.e., the first half of the Fourth Adoyāya. Now, if we take Jia:svarasûri at his words regarding the Prakrit words suppye to b: treated in this work, we may have to conjecture that the portion extending to the end of the, Fifco Alayıya,' 1.e covering about six pādas, has not come down to us or has not been moved by the author at all. But looking to the concl, uding verse; of th: extant work this conjecture has no valid ground as yet.
The First Pada commences with the Mangala-sloka paying respect to Jina and the auther's preceptor The next two verses introduce the work Then starts the tonic-wise discussion in the follawing order: Thirty six Pratähäras. Savarņi and Sthānapravatnas, Paribhāśās and Sajnai Svara -sandhi, Vyañjana-sandhi Visarga-sandhi ant Svă li-sandhi.
The Second Päda starts with the Lineāruśāsana, which consists of thirty-eight Gathās and the anto-commentary on it 57 The rest of the pāda treats the declension of Neuter. Feminine and Masculine pronouns. nume. rals, and of padānta -vidhi.
The Third Pă la opens with the discussion abut the uses of different Vibhaktis, and then takes up the topics of the Siri pratvayas
The Fourth Pāla deals with the Simāsas and Sa Tāsā tas.
The Fif b Pala enumerates the Gaņas.
The Sixth Päda is devoted to the discussion about various uses of words in diffe.ent ivpes of sentences, repitition of words in different situa, tinq;, verbi derived fon 049s, comparatives and superlatives.
