Foreword
I have great pleasure to write a foreword to an Ardha-magadhi grammar, entitled' Ardhamagadhi Vyakarana-Sara' written by Shri Revashankar Joshi for the benefit of students studying this language in the tenth and eleventh standards of a high school, through the medium of Gujrati. The book is well planned to cover all topics of the Ardha-magadhi grammar essential for an S. S. C. student and the treatment is quite good and methodical. If closely followed, this book should enable the Ardha- magadhi teacher to impart an effective grammatical background to the student for an intelligent understanding of the prescribed text. I have, therefore, no hesitation in commending this grammar to the student as also the teacher of this subject in a high school.
