Description
This book contains selected discourses of the Paramacharya rendered into English from Tamil.
The distinguishing feature of the book is that, of the 14 'Vidyas', the Paramcharya deals more elaborately with the six Vedangas and the four Upangas than the four Vedas themselves, There are few books which give succinctly and in such depth all about Vedangas - Siksha, Vyaakarana, Chhandas, Niruktam, Jyotisha, and Kalpa.
