EAP1150/1/44/1: Ñāsa akok [Ñāsa ’a kokʻ]

Description: A bilingual explanation on the parts of the Mukhamattadīpanī, a Pāli grammatical work by Vimalabuddhi. Mukhamattadīpanī, also known as Ñāsa, comments on Kaccāyana by means of expounding grammatical forms in a series of questions and answers.Extent: One fascicle of 79 inscribed palm-leaf folios (ff. ka [5] - che [82]).Additional date information: Copied 1874

EAP1150/1/44/2: Moggallānavyākaraṇasutta pāṭha [Moggallānavyākaraṇa sutta pāṭha]

Description: Suttas by Moggallāna are short rules of Pali grammar intended for memorization. Accompanied by explanation (vutti), they are transmitted as a separate text known as the Moggallānavuttipakaraṇa. Both Moggallānavyākaraṇa and Moggallānavutti are among the standard works on Pali grammar alongside with Kaccāyana. In Burma, suttas of all major Pali grammars are transmitted as separate codicological units and the suttas of Moggallānavyākaraṇa, Moggallāna Ṇvādi-vutti, and Moggallānapadasādhana are often transmitted together (as is the case in this fascicle).Extent: A part of the fascicle comprised of 5 inscribed palm-leaf folios and a half of a folio (ff. ka [83] - kū.v [88]).Additional date information: Copied c. 1874

EAP1150/1/44/3: Moggallānapadasādhanasutta pāṭha

Description: This text is a list of suttas or short rules of Pali grammar for memorization extracted from Moggallānapadasādhana, a work compiled by Piyadassi as a commentary on Moggallānavuttipakaraṇa. The rules in Moggallānapadasādhana are not an original composition by Piyadassi but are selectively adopted from Moggallānavyākaraṇa, a precursor to Moggallānavutti. Thus, this text might be considered a detailed table of contents of Moggallānapadasādhana and a revision of Moggallānavyākaraṇa. In Burma, suttas of all major Pali grammars are transmitted as separate codicological units and the suttas of Moggallānavyākaraṇa, Moggallāna Ṇvādi-vutti, and Moggallānapadasādhana are often transmitted together (as is the case in this fascicle).Extent: A part of the fascicle comprised of 1 inscribed palm-leaf folios,a half of a folio and three-quarters of a folio (ff. kū.v [88] - kai.v [90]).Additional date information: Copied c. 1874
