This edition features an article titled “Yathadarshanam: More Than Meets the Eye” by Dr. Anahita Hoose, former Bhagwan Mahavira Prakrit Fellow, ISJS.

The article focuses on applying insights from modern linguistics to Hemacandra’s Siddha-Hema-Shabdanushasan. It argues that linguistics can help us to find order in some of the abundant grammatical variation that Hemacandra’s presentation acknowledges.
