This second volume of the Paninian Grammar through its Examples is dedicated to compound words.

Following the plan of the Siddhantakaumudi, it gives the examples provided by Bhattoji Diksita in his Samasaprakarana, plus a choice of further examples from the Mahabhasya, the Kasikavrtti and the Bhasavrtti.

These examples constitute the entries of his dictionary. Each article comprises the references, the analytical formulation in Sanskrit, the French and English translations of the example, the sequence of all the operations to be successively carried out to cover the formation of the compound up to its final inflected form, and lastly notes.

Four indices: of the sutra-s with reference to their examples, of the vartika-s, of the Paninian and traditional Indian terminology used in this Samasaprakarana, of all the examples given in the three other commentaries and not retained.
