[Full title: Kerala Contribition to 艢腻蝉迟谤补办腻惫测补 Tradition (1): 厂耻产丑补诲谤腻丑补谤补峁嘺 of Brahmadatta 狈腻谤腻测补峁嘺]
The 艢腻蝉迟谤补办腻惫测补 tradition was well developed in Kerala. It is considered as a peculiar branch of Knowledge in the field of study of 艢腻蝉迟谤补蝉. Kerala has contributed immensely to the 艢腻蝉迟谤补办腻惫测补 literature. 厂耻产丑补诲谤腻丑补谤补峁嘺, V膩sudevavijaya, 顿丑腻迟耻办腻惫测补, 笔腻峁噄苍墨测补蝉奴迟谤辞诲腻丑补谤补峁嘺办腻惫测补, 艢谤墨肠颈丑苍补办腻惫测补, 搁腻尘补惫补谤尘补尘补丑腻谤腻箩补肠补谤颈迟谤补, 厂耻谤奴辫补谤腻驳丑补惫补, 厂耻驳补岣纺乺迟丑补尘腻濒腻 etc. are some of the prominent 艢腻蝉迟谤补办腻惫测补s from Kerala, which were written to illustrate the grammatical rules.
厂耻产丑补诲谤腻丑补谤补峁嘺 of Brahmadatta 狈腻谤腻测补峁嘺 is the most prominent 痴测腻办补谤补峁嘺艣腻蝉迟谤补办腻惫测补 of Kerala. This is a 惭补丑腻办腻惫测补 in twenty cantos composed on the model of 叠丑补峁弓颈办腻惫测补. The theme of the poem is the story of Arjuna鈥檚 exile and marriage with 厂耻产丑补诲谤腻. Through this story the author tries to illustrate the grammatical rules of 笔腻峁噄苍颈. The main aim of the poem is tohelp the students of Sanskrit with a new method of studying grammar.
The whole first canto and the latter half of the second canto is known as 笔谤补办墨谤峁嘺办腻峁囜笉补 as it does not comprise any grammatical aspects. The first half of the second canto deals with Sannanta roots. Third, fourth, fifth and sixth cantos aredevoted to various 碍峁泃辫谤补迟测补测补蝉 and illustrate 蝉补谤惫补办腻濒颈办补, 办腻濒补惫颈艣别峁Ｄ伵况补测补, 叠丑腻惫补办补谤迟峁沰腻谤补办补 and 础惫测补测补办峁泃蝉 respectively. Cantos VII, VIII and IX deal with the illustrations of Taddhitapratyayas in detail. 厂补尘腻蝉补蝉 are described in the tenth canto. Cantos from eleven to sixteen discuss the 濒补办腻谤补蝉 in Sanskrit. The last four cantos do not form illustrations of any particular section of grammar and hence they are termed as 笔谤补蝉补苍苍补办腻峁囜笉补蝉.
The verse illustrating the Sannanta roots as follows:
