The Sahityakantakoddhāra
 
the sandhi and samhita. See Notes 26, 29 and 30, for
the details. He is quite familiar with the well-
known Mahakavyas. Though some of the expressions
he notes were also explained in brief by earlier
writers like Vāmana, and some commentators on the
Mahakavyas, he has his own comments which he
conveys by using vayam paryālocayāmaḥ etc. (See
pp. 20 and 21, 60). He has to his credit also some
entirely new expressions which were not noted by
other writers. For instance, the following were not
noted either by Vamana or the author of the
Mukhabh uşana (Adyar Publication 1973):

Solutions to some of these cases were given by
Bhattoji and some other writers on grammar, which
are not known and not easily available to many
readers. He has collected these from different sources
in some cases and presented them in one handy com-
pendium. It is in keeping with his declaration :
namulam likhyate kimcit (verse 12). It is a kind of
source-book, and in some cases is more than that as
the author supplies his own answers.
