Advanced reading workshop in {r}aGuvaMSa sarga 2 and the {s}idDAntakOmudI ({v}iBaktyarTaprakaraRa).

• US210.
• The {r}aGuvaMSa by {k}AlidAsa is one of the Sanskrit {m}ahakAvyas. This great poem is a part of the traditional syllabus of learning Sanskrit. The {s}idDAntakOmudI is a 16th CE commentary on the {a}zwADyAyI. It is widely used by beginners in the study of {p}ARinian grammar to understand rules in the {a}zwADyAyI. The {v}iBaktyarTa section is important from the point of view of learning the syntax and semantics of Sanskrit. In this course, we read the second canto of the {r}aGuvaMSa and analyze it thoroughly in the light of the {v}iBaktyarTa section of the {s}idDAntakOmudI (114 rules nos. 532–646).
