The aim of the author is principally to introduce the Prakrit language to students who have to study the epigraphs written in that language. An attempt has been made in these pages to describe Prakrit as it was known to the earlier grammarians Vararuchi, Katyayana and Bhamaha, with special reference to Pali, Epigraphic Prakrit and the works of such medieval authorities as Hemachandra and Purushottama.
