SAMBODHI requital from them and a reward for you."), Ocerk istorii yakuctskoy Sovetskoy literaturi, izdatelstvo akademii nauk SSSR, Moskva, 1955, str. 24 (Essay on the History of Yakut Soviet Literature, Publishing House of the Academy of Sciences, USSR, Moscow, 1955, p. 12).--- in Russian. As expected by Uvarovskiy, Böhtlingk's work excited great interest in the scientific circle, which had important after-effects in the study and
development of the Yakut language. 32. Emeneau, op.cit., p. 150, col. 1, para 2. 33. “Obituary Notice : Dr. E. E. Obermiller”, by Th. Stcherbatsky, IHQ, Vol.
12, 1936, p. 380. Cf. also Scharfe, op. cit., p. 115, fn. 119. 34. Pt. Yudhisthir Mimāṁsak assigns same date to Pāṇini and Vyāļi, op. cit., p. ::
193 and 298. He considers Vyādi to be the maternal uncle of Pānini. — cf.
p. 301, line 5. 35. "He (i. e. Vyāļi) is believed to have been a relative and contemporary of
Panini", A Dictionary of Sanskrit Grammar, op. cit. p. 378. 36. “As Vyādi has used a number of Panini's rules in deciding his Paribhāsas
and, as he has actually quoted a few vārttikas he appears to have flourished a few decades after Pānini, when there was an addition of a few vārttikas only for the sūtrapātha of Pāṇini”, K. V. Abhyankar,
Paribhāsāsamgraha, B. O. R. I., Poona, 1967, Introduction, p. 12. 37. "Sampūrn bhāsya mem 4280 vārttik haim. Inmem 3870 vārttik Kätyāyan
ke haim. 410 vacan anya ācāryom ke evam svyam bhāsyakar ke haim", Vedpati Mishra, Vyākaran-Vārttik : Ek Samīksātmak Adhyayan, Pệthivi
Prakāshan, Vārāṇasī, 1970, Āmukh, p. 8. 38. “Nägeśa appears to have divided vārttikas into two classes as shown by
his definition 'sūtre'nuktaduruktacintākaratvam vārttikam'. If this definition be followed, many of the vārttikas given in the Mahābhāsya as explained and commented upon the sūtras will not strictly be termed as vārttikas, and their total number which is given as exceeding 5000, will be. reduced to about 1400 or so. There are some manuscript copies which give this reduced number, and it may be said that only these vārttikas were written by Katyayana while the others were added by learned grammarians after Katyāyana. In the Mbh. there are seen more than 5000 statements of the type of vārttikas out of which Dr. Kielhorn has marked about 4200 as vārttikas”, A Dictionary of Sanskrit Grammar, op.cit., pp. 247-248.
