The Udaharanasamaharah "The collection of examples" is a revised edition of the first of nine planned volumes, of which volumes I, II, III.2, and IV were published previously and reviewed by me in JAOS 129.4 (2009): 715-19, JAOS 131.4 (2011): 663-65, and JAOS 137.4 (2017): 668-69.

BCE) Astadhyayi: Patanjali's (c. 150 BCE) Mahdbhasya, Jayaditya and Vamana's Kasikavrtti (7th c. CE), Purusottamadeva's (12th c. CE) Bhasavrtti, and Bhattoji DIksita's (16th c. CE) Siddhantakaumudi, revised with the help of Dr. Jagadeesh Bhat, under the supervision of Professor K. V. Ramakrishnamacharyulu. Part one of the volume lists the examples as headwords in Sanskrit alphabetical order in 757 pages. The second part indexes examples by surras listed in Astadhyayi order in 481 pages.
