The late Prof. Prasannakumar B. Junnarkar was born in a family devoted to classical learning. Prasannakumar’s formal university education was in Mathematics, in which he took his Master’s degree from Elphinstone College, Bombay. He also obtained a degree in Law. In 1922 he joined the Dacca University, where he served till his retirement in 1948 as the Head of the Department of Commerce and later as the Dean of the Faculty of Commerce. Though he had been a student of mathematics and law and was for many years a teacher of commerce, Prof. Junnarkar’s first love was always Sanskrit. He began the work of simplifying Paninian grammar while still at the Dacca University, but the bulk of the work was the product of 14 years’ unaided labour continued despite ill health – in his quiet retirement at Navsari in Gujarat. He died at Baroda in 1975 at the age of 82.
