SV: two study projects

Dear Jim and Phra Noah Yuttadhammo,

Is there a way of finding out about important grammatical texts that are
available in Thai editions. Unfortunately, I do not read Thai, so
translations are of no use to me. I have an excellent modern Thai edition of
Kaccaayanam, but that is all. Any other text is of interest, especially
those that are not available in Sinhalese or Burmese editions. How do I
proceed?

Best wishes,

Ole

Dear Jim,

Thank you, I was thinking the same thing.  Anyhow, I went digging through
the decaying "library" here and found a Thai translation of a grammatical
text called the "Padaruupasiddhi", I assume to be the text you called the
"Ruupasiddhi"  Big book, lots of grammatical info.  It is translated into
Thai by a monk from Wat Ta Ma O, and the original author is said to be
"Buddhappiya Thera" or "Coliyamedha'nkara Thera", an Indian monk.

I imagine the rest of the texts you are looking for could be found in Wat Ta
Ma O.  Were you looking for them, or just asking if I had access to them for
my own benefit?

Best wishes,

Yuttadhammo

I think Ven. Dhammanando knows a lot about the state of Pali learning and
the Pali grammar situation in Thailand. In recent years a number of new
publications of rare Pali grammatical texts (mostly with a Thai
gloss) have appeared. Buddhaghosa College has a wide selection for sale and
Dhammanando made a list for me from their webpage. Wat Tha Ma O, Lampang
also has a good reputation for the study of traditional Pali grammar.

Best wishes,
Jim
