Dear Nyanatusita,

This sounds like music in my ears. I am certainly interested in these
editions.

Best wishes,

Emne: [palistudy] Sinhala Kaccayana Grammar editions

Dear Eisel, Jim, Ole, etc,

In the library next door I just found an old 1895 printed Sinhala editon of
the Kaccaayana-sutta-paa.thaa by Jinaratanatissa thera (11 pages) and a 1886
Kaccaayana-vyaakara.na edition by M. Gunaratana, revised by the reknown
scholar Hikkaduve Suma''ngala (135 pages). Are these of interest to any of
you? Bound together with these in the same leather cover are also an edition
of the Baalaavattaaraya (1901, Devamitta), Padasaadhana (1887,
Dhammaananda), and a Moggalaanaya-vyaakara.na (1899, Devamitta).
I noticed is that there seem to be quite a few copies, MSS as well as
printed editions, of the Padasaadhana, so it seems that it is or was a
popular grammar here alongside the Baalaavataaraya. The latter is still
studied in monastic schools by young monks but  I am not sure about the
Padasaadhana. I was told that the only part of the Kaccaayana still studied
is the Dhaatuma~njusa.
Best wishes,
