Pali Atthakathawanhi Pilibimbuwana Wyakarana Sampradaya

The grammar of any language has depth. The deeper the grammar the more meaningful the language will be. This is largely present in oriental languages such as Pali and Sanskrit. In ancient India many books written on Vedas and other traditional religions included in - depth studies of grammar. Later the books were compiled to annotate the grammar of these books. The Sinhalese and Pali grammar stem from Sanskrit. Venerable Piyarathana Thera’s grammar manual lays an emphasis on practical understanding of Pali Grammar through attha katha (source stories). It is much easier for any student to understand grammar on practical terms without being overburdened with grammar forms rarely heard. Venerable Piyarathana Thera uses the common meanings and forms while using reference works. The quotations and citations of other scholars present the subject of Pali grammar from various points of view. A student will be able to look at how elements of Pali grammar are made along with their meanings. Venerable Piyarathana Thera also gives examples for better understanding.
