in Malayalam, in November 1907. The success of that
experiment, and the approval it has met with from
those competent to judge, have now emboldened me to
publish the following brief introduction to classical
Sanskrit Grammar, on the lines of Panini. In the light
of the above facts, I make no apology for submitting
the book to the kindly judgment of fellow-students
of Sanskrit, being assured of being corrected by their
erudition wherever I have gone wrong, and of being
strengthened by their sympathy always.
PREFACE.
The different typographical and other devices adopted
to emphasise the relative importance of various Sutras,
are described in a separate note, and the principles on
which I have interpreted and commented on Panini are
expounded in the Sanskrit Introduction and in the first
few pages of the book itself. It only remains to me to
acknowledge with much gratitude the constant assistance,
encouragement and advice I have received from my
revered uncle and preceptor, M. R. Ry. Kerala Varma
Avl., c. s. I., the doyen of Sanskrit scholarship in South
India, and from my fellow-student, former colleague and
friend, Brahmasri R. Narnayana Sastriar, the present
head of the local Sanskrit College.
