on Panini's Sutras directly or on the Mahabhāşya
had been written, grammarians took up for elucidation
specific portions or subjects and among the pioneer
writers of such works whose productions are available
is Kşirasvämin (11th cent. A. D.), who dealt with
Dhatus alone in the Kşiratarangini. with the Ganas alone
in Ganaurtti, and with our present subject alone in the
Nipā tāvvayopasargavrtti. The Ganaratnamahodadhi (1141
A.D.) of Vardhamāna is also valuable for our subject.
In later times, separate works on Avyavas came to be
produced (see New Catalogus Catalogorum I, Revised
edition, p. 430 where over thirty works are recorded),
including lexicons, e.g. Avyayakośa and Avyaya-samgraha-
nighantu (Sakalya Malla Bhaṭṭa) and Aryayārṇama.
Several of the thirty and odd texts recorded in the
N.C C. and mentioned above. discuss the meanings,
Anvaya.artha Similarly. Upasarga was also made the
subject of special treatises (N.C.C. II. pp. 374-46);
there are many texts which discuss the question of the
Vacakatva or Drotakatra of the Upasargas particularly
from the point of view of Navya Nyaya, and a few
giving collections of Upasargas and their meanings and
118C.
The later commentaries on Panini Sutras arranged
subject-wise like the Prakriya-kaumudi, Prakriya-sarvasva
and the Siddhanta-kaumudi, as also the texts and com-
mentaries of systems of grammar other than that of
Pänini. supply material on the Indeclinables.

the Sri Venkatesvara Oriental Series of the T.T.D., Tirupati
(1951).
