Sabda Manjari

Knowledge of declensions of nouns and verbs is a must for those who wish to master Sanskrit. This book, authored by K.L.V. Sastri & Pandit L. Anantharam Sastri, is a collection of sabda rupas (declensions of nouns) and has been a prescribed text book in many parts of India for decades.

What is Declension in Sanskrit (from Wikipedia)

Declension has been analyzed extensively in Sanskrit, where it is known as karaka (similar to cases in English) . Seven varieties are defined by Panini in terms of their semantic roles:

1. agent (karta, often in subject position, performing independently)
2. patient (karman, often in objective position)
3. means (karana, instrumental)
4. recipient (sampradaana, similar to dative)
5. source (apaadaana, similar, but not the same, as ablative)
6. possessor (sambandha, genitive)
7. locus (adhikarana, locative or goal)

In addition, another declension exists, known as the sambodhana (vocative). It is used to indicate the object being addressed. For example: he Rama (O Rama).

For example, consider the following sentence:
vriksaat parnam bhumau patati
[from] the tree a leaf [on] the ground falls
“a leaf falls from the tree on (onto) the ground”

Here leaf is the agent, tree is the source, and ground is the locus, the corresponding declensions are reflected in the case endings.

      Rajat,

      I have rectified the DJVU file link. You may download it in that format. As you might know, DJVU is a format similar to PDF and can be handled using DJVU Viewer. I cannot make available PDF due to copyright reasons. I could mail it to you if your are interested. BTW, this book is available as Devanagari Unicode text at Sanskrit Wikisource

    I reside in Hyderabad, i urgently need a copy of Shabda Manjari. Please guide me the store or address to get the same.

  19. Ekagra says:

    Hi,

    Thank you for your wonderful website.

    Can you suggest some good and comprehensive book for building Sanskrit vocabulary?

    Thanks!

    • bharateeya says:

      Ekagra,

      In the olden days students used to learn by-heart Amarakosa to build strong vocabulary. I don’t know of any modern book meant for this purpose. If you post your query at Samskrita Google group, you will get guidance from scholars of that group.

  20. Hum sothea says:

    This website is very useful for the Sanskrit learners as well as me. I am Cambodian and teaching Sanskrit at Preah Sihanouk Raja Buddhist University. I always pay some attention on this web in order to search some books I needed. Unfortunately, when I downloaded SubdamanjarI book and opened it, this book is missed some pages, I can not find these. That is on 36th and 37th page. I don’t know whether it is because of scanning or the original one like that. Would you please recheck the original one again and then scan those putting into the gape. I really need to know what is missed in that gape.
    Regard,

    Ven. Hum Sothea

    Best wish !

  29. It is undortunate that no one is mentioning the original creator of Sabdamanjari – Samaasakusumaavali, Shri Nadiminty Sarvamangaleswara Sastry (1759-1839). As his gggrandson, I published his life and works in Telugu and Devanaagari. The later was publishd by the Chowkhamba Sanskrit Series, Varanaasi.

  30. According to the original creator of Sabdamanjari – Samaasakusumaavali, Sri Nadiminty Sarvamanagaleswara Sastry (1753-1839), “samdam parameswara dattam – dhamarukaanaadena:. So it is sacrilage that the Sabda was created by a mortal. Hence he didi not gove his name in his original Sandamanjari.
