PRAKRIT GRAMMARIANS
Satya RANJAN BANERJEE Before discussing the grammarians of the Eastern School it would be worthwhile to arrange almost chronologically in a tabulated form the important grammarians belonging to the two schools. The table in two groups is shown below. As Grierson has not mentioned all the authors and works listed in the table, an asterisk(*) mark is put after authors who are excluded by him.
Besides these treatises and authors mentioned in the table above, there existed a large number of grammatical works. We do not know anything about many of them except the names of authors and the titles of their works.
