Sanskrit Grammar, पाणिनीय-व्याकरणम्— नवीना दृष्टिः a new approach to learning grammar presented by students of Smt. Dr. Puspa Diiksita (called mAtA) with her unique approach, "techniques which Panini used to achieve the critical task of groupifying and organizing the elements", so called "a new approach." The process is broken in eight parts
1 - धातुगण-परिचयः dhAtugaNa parichayaH
2 - माहेश्वराणि सूत्राणि mAheshvarANi sUtrANi
3 - मातुः पाठस्य वैलक्षण्यम् mAtuH pAThasya vailakShaNam
4 - धातुविज्ञानम् dhAtuvijnAnam
5 - सार्वधातुकप्रकरणम् (अदन्तम् अङ्गम्) sArvadhAtukaprakaraNam (adantam)
6 - सार्वधातुकप्रकरणम् (अनदन्तम् अङ्गम्) sArvadhAtukaprakaraNam (anadantam)
7 - आर्धधातुकप्रकरणम् ArdhadhAtuprakaraNam
8 - करपत्राणि, वर्गस्य क्रमे karapatrANi, vargasya krame
The lessons are all in Sanskrit and beginners are expected to learn through "Abhyasa-Pustakam" independently, with basic understanding of present-tense verbs and nouns up through i-kArAnta (muni), u-kArAnta (shishu), and R^i-kArAnta (kartR^i).
