About the Book
The history of Sanskrit grammar has been largely dominated by Panini and his followers, leaving other grammatical schools relatively underexplored. This volume addresses that gap by presenting the first critical edition of two extracts (1.1 and 1.4) from the Sumatipanjika, a commentary by the 10th-century Buddhist author Sumati on the grammatical work of Candragomin, founder of the Candra school of Sanskrit grammar.
The text is provided in a critical edition followed by a diplomatic edition, based on three manuscripts from Nepal and Bengal, dating between the 15th and 16th centuries, written in Newari script. The introduction discusses the history and influence of the Candra school, highlighting how its grammatical tradition was preserved in Nepal and Tibet in dialogue with the Paninian school. This book is an essential resource for scholars, students, and researchers of Sanskrit grammar, Buddhist literature, and the history of linguistic traditions in South Asia.
