A Sanskrit Grammar For Students

by Arthur Anthony Macdonell

The present work is to a great extent based on the author’s large Vedic Grammar. It is however, by no means simply an abridgement of that work. For besides being differently arranged so as to agree with the scheme of his another work Sanskrit Grammar it contains much matter excluded from the Vedic Grammar. Thus it constitutes a supplement as well as an abridgement of the Vedic Grammar. The term ‘Vedic’ is here used to comprehend not only the metrical language of the hymns, but also the prose of the Brahmanas and of the Brahmana-like portions of the Atharvaveda and of various recensions of the Yajurveda.
