This work is the only available commentary on Patanjali’s Vyakarana Mahabhasyam in Malayalam. The present edition consists of the first five Ahnika’s of Vyakarana Mahabhashya. As the commentary is aptly titled ‘Punarnava’ by Prof. O. Vatsala, it gives forth the freshness and revelation when red in a bright light as opposed to the obscurities experienced in earlier readings because of the darkness in understanding owing to the complexity of ideas conveyed. It is true that Mahabhashyam has a ground earth simple language but the complex terms and terminologies and grammatical principles expressed in it are enough to make the text incomprehensible at times. But Prof. Vatsala’s Malayalam commentary is certainly going to guide students who follow Malayalam language, not only studying grammar but also the students of different branches of Sanskrit learning.
