Dear vidvaj-janas,

my pranams.

Since long it was my cherished desire to have soft-copies of all five volumes of Vyākaraṇa-candrodaya authored by Shri Charudeva Shastri. As most of you may be knowing, Vyakarana Chandrodaya is an excellent learning companion for all vidvāns, and it is composed of five volumes in totality. Volumes 2 and 5 were already available on the internet at the following links:

Volume 2: https://archive.org/details/VyakaranaChandrodayaPartIICharuDevaShastri

Volume 5: https://archive.org/details/VyakaranaChandrodayaVCharudevaShastri_201709

In 2016, I had managed to find first volume in an old bookstore, scan it and upload it on my archive page. Its link is as follows:

Volume 1: https://archive.org/details/vyakarana_chandrodaya_1

I tried to find the remaining volumes (3,4) unsuccessfully at various book stores and libraries in India, and even contacted the son of the author. Unfortunately however I failed to convince him to give his set of physical books for scanning.

Finally, good news is that a kind Gaudiya Vaishnava friend of mine staying in the US agreed to take the efforts to find the missing volumes and get them scanned for me.

I'm happy to inform all the vidvans that these remaining volumes have now been scanned and uploaded. Here are the links to the newly uploaded Volumes 3 and 4:

Volume 3: https://archive.org/details/vyakarana_chandrodaya_3

Volume 4: https://archive.org/details/vyakarana_chandrodaya_4

We now have all the volumes of Vyakarana Chandrodaya online, and I pray to Krishna that all the kind-hearted sāragrāhī vidvāns will be pleased with this effort.

sādhu-caraṇa-rajo'bhilāṣī,

hari parshad das.

उपकृतं यमलार्ज्जुनयोर्ध्रुवं

सिततनूजनुषैव यशोदया ।

विदितबन्धनपीड इवैष तौ

मुनिविनिग्रहतो यदमूमुचत् ॥

Translation: [Let anyone say that the highest favor on the Yamalārjuna trees was bestowed by Shri Krishna. However, for me] it is certain that the greatest favor on the Yamalārjuna trees was bestowed by the radiant-bodied Mother Yashoda. [It is only she who was able to tie Krishna to the mortar, and by doing so] she made the eternally liberated Lord realize the pain of bondage, and as a result of understanding such pain, the Lord immediately delivered the two trees from the pain of bondage caused by the curse of the sage Narada.

— Mahākavi Ḍhuṇḍhirāja Śāstrī, Bhāgavata-vyañjanam.

Namaste !

Thank you very much for uploading the books and providing links.

Even in 2008, I could not get a copy of Vol.3 from MLBD.

I had to send only 4 vols. as hard copy to my Russian friend. Vol.3 I had to take from a library and make a scanned copy and send it to him, as I remember.

Even not knowing Hindi at all, he could utilize both अष्टाध्यायी (भाष्य) प्रथमावृत्ति and व्याकरण चन्द्रोदय successfully. Later he procured a copy of the 3rd volume of the latter from a foreign agency only.

Regards.

I had a question about this book.

A person who studies Kaumudi, is it required for him to read these 5 books? I have heard a lot of praise, hence asking out of curiosity.

<<A person who studies Kaumudi, is it required for him to read these 5 books?>>

So far as प्रक्रिया is concerned, presentation of grammar is much better in व्याकरण चन्द्रोदय compared to any कौमुदी works.

If smb is not interested in knowing the rules and hurriedly wants to know the word forms, one can also do it by just mugging up from the tables provided (esp. in Vol.3, dealing with तिङन्त, and vol.4, dealing with सुबन्त).

Best wishes

dear vidvaj-janas,

my pranams.

It has come to my notice that some volumes of Vyākaraṇa-candrodaya of Śrī Cārudeva Śāstrī are missing even from archive.org

For this reason, I have zipped all volumes in a single file. The file can be downloaded from any one of the following links:

Link 1 : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hnWf4WNxIi1hMKrZFj1x5t8jqkkIAa07/view?usp=sharing

Link 2 : https://usaupload.com/shared/ny9kfsdwrb-z69tskdifvkf0tiblorppmc1a3lvyuiht6005cqhnt_d1pmd8or2vdb_-iru0pr_xptgwl_08x4a5lim0qw3t3367f96l7xtyd6nbn2ekksf5f7it5dcd

sādhu-caraṇa-rajo'bhilāṣī,

hari pārṣada dāsa.
