Hardcover. Condizione: New. The present work titled 'Yaska's Nirukta: A comprehensive study' is a sincere attempt on throwing light on the etymology of vedic words made by Yaska in his work with the help of Durgacarya's commentary. It comprises ten chapters that reflect on different aspects related to the study. Efforts have been made here to trace the basic concept of 'nirvcana' or the 'nirukta' with a view to show the rich heritage of vedic interpretation throughout the ages. Among the vedic interpreters Yaska seems to be very close to Skandasvāmi. Interestingly enough the book also reflects on the influence exercised by Yaska's nirukta on the authors of the post- vedanga period and western world. It seems to be of vital importance to the research on the languages of the world. A select bibliography has been added to the book for the wider appreciation of the readers.
