Manuscript Features
In the beginning, the text lists the 26 ślokas of the so-called Kārakacakra (or Prayogamukha), which are quoted again and commented upon in the subsequent portion of the MS. The name Sambandhasiddhi, however, might also apply to the body of the 26 ślokas alone, since after listing these verses the commentator states: sambandhasiddhisūtraṃ samāptaṃ.
Besides the terms kartṛ, karaṇa, and saṃpradāna, which are universally accepted by Indian grammarians, the term ādhāra is used for adhikaraṇa, avadhi for apādāna, and vyāpya for karman. Although the latter (vyāpya) is more or less peculiar to the Cāndra system of grammar, the author of the Kārakacakra has incorporated whole sūtras out of Pāṇini’s grammar, as, for example, in verse 12:
- sāmānyāsaṃkhyabhāvākhyas trividho ʼṇādir ucyate |
- padānān tu samarthānāṃ prathamād vā prasūyate || 12 ||
In this verse, the words given in bold italics correspond exactly to Pāṇ. 4.1.82, which sūtra does, however, not occur in Candra’s grammar.
There are four divisions of the work, named paṭala, dealing with kāraka relations, samāsa, taddhita and kṛt formation respectively.
Exposures 3 and 4 top show a folio used as a cover leaf. Exp. 4 bottom up to 6 top show two folios of another MS, that is of a text called Rambhāśukasaṃvāda, which is styled here, however, Rambhāśukrasaṃvāda.
On exp. 6 bottom, the beginning of the Sambandhasiddhi, up to verse 7, is written on the back of the first folio of the Sambandhasiddhi proper, which begins on exp. 7 top. The MS breaks off with fol. 34r, commenting on verses 13 and 14. That is, about half of the original MS, most probably commenting on all of the 26 verses of the so-called Kārakacakra, is lost.
A few folios are slightly damaged in the margin, or have a few akṣaras being rubbed off.
The scribe is as it were oscillating within this MS between a slightly cursive and a more detached style of writing. He skipped the number “12” in his foliation, the text, however, running continuously from fol. 11 to 13.
