Dear Jim,
The abhinava culanirutti (sadhammaguru)his just a 36 pages useless book because the author already wrote nirutimanjusa -a tika to culanirutti by yamaka.

The mahaniruti is a book almost as big as saddaniti because saddaniti is 360 leaves complete in one bundle but the thai mahaniruti is 230 leaves still uncomplete.The burmese have fragments of them which adding to at least as big as saddaniti.the editor of kaccayana in SLTP 100 years
ago mentioned the most important thing is to edit mahaniruti but still undone after a century with burmese busying copying out 300 bundles of saddaniti all over the world.I have to have travel to burma to find a complete copy of these two which is earlier than nyasa.
That all 100 books must be studied by you before you claim that pali grammar books are not complete,that is still without burma nisya.Nyasa is written in a boring eassy-like comment for each sutta.The 400 years niruttisaramanjusa is a book almost 80% as big as saddaniti.In is a tika for nyasatika,nyasapadipa ,thanbyin ,indeed is a very comprensive book.balavataratika by sumangala a century old is also an eassy-like book-he mentioned that kalatipati is wrong with anagata included in saddaniti sutta.kaccayana only has atita.

Dear Teng Kee,

I'm curious to know why you think I need these two volumes. I think
I'll pass up on travelling to Burma to get photocopies of them, but
I'm willing to wait for their printing in Sri Lanka. I suppose I'll
have to learn to read the Sinhalese script. Please send me the address
and let me know if you hear before me that they've been published. I'm
unfamiliar with these books but I see that the ~Naasa is listed in the
CPD bibliography just below Kaccaayana-vutti. It is also known as the
Mukhamattadiipanii (Mmd) which Smith in the Saddaniti often gives
references to. I don't know which Culanirutti you refer to. The two
listed in CPD come under the names of two different authors:
Yamakamahaathera and Saddhammaala"nkaara. There is none listed for
Sanghanandi. It seems like there must be a 100 grammar texts listed in
CPD and most of them are not familiar to me. Thank-you for your
consideration.

Jim

<< Dear Jim,I am not insulting that you poor because I am very poor in
fact.Warder hasn't read mahanirutti(nirutipitaka in leaves only)by
kaccayana himself.Also culanirutti by yamaka if not not the other two
vyakarana -bodhisatta.....What I see the 2 vol you need are Nyasa by
vimalabuddhi.and culanirutti by sanghnandi.I cannot give you the
bookshop to photostat the old copy from them because they always send
the wrong book from yangon.I asked for kaccayanavutti but they sent
kaccayana,moggalananvadi(susaddasankhepa)but they sent moggalana
only.If you can wait ,srilanka will reprint this two books soon,600
pages in one vol.The best is travel to burma and pay them to photocopy
the books. >>
