Excerpt from Sanskrit Syntax

This book aims to give a succinct account of Sanskrit Syntax, as it is represented in classic Sanskrit literature, without ne gleeting however the archaisms and peculiarities of vaidik prose (brahmana, upanishad, sutra) and of epic poetry. The facts laid down here have been stated chiefly by my own observa tions in perusing Sanskrit writings, and accordingly by far the great majority of the examples quoted have been selected directly from the sources, if not, those suggested by the Pe tropolitan Dictionary or others have, as a rule, been received only after verification. Moreover, valuable information was gained by the statements of vernacular grammarians, especially of Pa nini, to whose reverenced authority due respect is paid and whose rules are referred. To at every opportunity. For some useful intelligence I am indebted to Mr. Anundoram bosooah's Big/zer Sanskrit Grammar Calcutta 1879. A welcome and pre cions assistance were to me some treatises or occasional hints of distinguished European scholars, who, as delbruck, DE saussure, whitney, have explored tracks of this scarcely trodden region of Indian philology. But for the greater part of the subjects falling within the scope of this compilation.
