of a grammarian in the Taittiriyasamhita. In later times Indra is mentioned as the author of a grammar in Sriharşa's Naişadhacarita 10. 135; and Cāņdūpandita, who wrote a remarkable commentary on the poem towards the end of the thirteenth century, takes the reference to mean the Aindra grammar,
Tibetan tradition, however, speaks of an Indravyäkarana by a grammarian named Indragomin, and it is said to have been prevalent among the the Buddhists of Nepal. The question requires further investigation.
The Āpisala referred to by Somadeva is the ancient grammar of Apisali earlier than Panini who refers to him in the rule vă supyāpisaleh. Apisali's opinion is cited in connection with another rule in the Mahābhāsya on Pāṇini 4. 2. 45,4 and we learn from the same work (4. 1. 14) that a Brāhmaṇa woman who studies Apisala, that is, the grammar of Apisali, is called Apisalā. Occasional references to the tenets of the Apisala school are found in the Kāśika and Jinendrabuddhi's Nyäsa thereon. For example, we read in Käsikā 6. 2. 36: 19TORITATISTI: 1...a IHI0313 I...teffa as-WEIFAHTSCHICHT: 1 ...... Strlar total 3171 39a Pa......

The Candra grammar referred to by Somadeva is the work of the Buddhist Candragomin, and has been edited and assigned to the 5th century A. D. The Jainendra is the work of the famous Jaina philosopher and grammarian Pūjyapäda, also known as Devanandin. He is said to have been the tutor of the Ganga king Durvinīta who ruled about the end of the fifth century. But a Jaina scholar named Niravadyapandita who was a spiritual adviser of the Calukya king Vinayaditya (680-696 A. D.) is described in an inscription as the house-pupil of Pūjyapāda; and R. G.
