TULSI-PRAJNĀ, July-Sept., 1992
Vyakarana is the eighth chapter of Siddhahemaśabdānusāsana which was edited for the first time by R. Pischel in two voluines (Halle, 1877, 1880). Krishna Mahābala gave of course an introduction to the Hemacandra Vyakaraņa (Bombay, 1872) but that was not a complete picture of characteristics of the Prākrit grammar. The first part of the work comprises text and word index and the second part of the German translation, explanation and comparative study. It was re-edited by S. P. Pandit and included as an appendix to his edition of Kumārapālacarita (BSS, 1900), a second edition of which was devoted by Dr. P. L. Vaidya (BORI, Poona, 1936) who had already edited it earlier (Poona, 1928). Another revised edition came into light from Poona (1958) and recently it is published with Hindi translation.
Out of the three chapters, the first chapter of the Trivikrama's Prākritsabdānušāsana was published from Vijagapattam (1896). Its complete form was edited by T. Laddu (1913) and Batukanath Sharma and Baldev Upadhyaya (Benaras). More revised editions with Svopajñavștti were issued by Dr. P. L. Vaidya (Sholapur, 1954) with a satisfactory performance.
On the basis of Trivikrama's Prākritsabdānusāsana, the Prākritrūpāvaiara was written by Simharāja. This work was edited by E. Hultzsch in 1909 (RAS) with an introduction dealing with date, authorship, etc.
Another Prākrit grammar "sadbhāsācandikā" was written by Lakşmidhara of Andhrapradesh on the basis of Trivikrama's Prākritśābdānušāsana. It was edited by Kamalashankar Trivedi (Bombay, 1916). Prākritmaņidipa or Prākritmaņidīpikā of Appaya Dixit was issued by Shrinivas Gopalacharya with notes (Mysore, 1954). Besides these Prākrit grammars, some other grammars have also appeared. 24. Modern grammars of Prākrit Language
On the basis of afore-mentioned Prākrit grammarians, the modern scholars started writing on Prākrit grammar in different languages. Some of them we have already mentioned in the linguistic section. At early stages, the Hoeffar's Prākrit grammar "Prakrit Deolecto Libriduo" appeared from Berlin in 1836. At the same timne, Lassen's Institutiones Linguoae Prakritikae” (Bonn, 1839) was issued wherein the subject material for the Prākrit studies was given to first learners. Ch. Lassen's Institutiones Linguoae Pracritikae” (Bonnae ad Rhenum, 1837) and E. Muller's "Beitrage Zur Grammatik des Jain Prakrit" and De R. Pischel's “De grammaticis Pracri.
