A. N. UPADHEY-A Prākrit Grammar Attributed to Samantabhadra, (I.H.Q., XVII, Pp. 511-16, Calcutta, 1942).
This paper presents a critical study of the Poona Ms. of the Prākrit grammar attributed to Samantabhadra. It is concluded here that this grammar is later than Hemacandra, that it cannot be attributed to Samantabhadra, the great logician, and that there is no evidence at all to postulate any other Samantabhadra later than Hemacandra.
