Course Content

In this course, the prime focus is on svara-sandhis, which involve the merging of two vowels that come into immediate contact with each other. Students will explore the rules for combining and separating these vowels. By the end of this quarter, they will have a thorough understanding of various categories of svara sandhis, including Dīrgha sandhiḥ, Guṇa sandhiḥ, Vṛddhi sandhiḥ, Yaṇ sandhiḥ, Yāntavāntādeśa sandhiḥ, and Pūrvarūpa sandhiḥ. They will also be able to identify these sandhis in ślokas and other texts. These exercises will enhance their fluency in reciting ślokas and provide a better grasp of word structure. Additionally, this knowledge will aid in the analysis of Saṃskṛtam texts. Story writing will also be a component of this course.

Class Structure

Students will have a dedicated 1.5 hours of contact time with the faculty each week. The class is carefully structured to facilitate effective learning in an online face-to-face format. The curriculum is designed to build upon the knowledge gained in previous classes. Regular homework assignments will provide valuable opportunities to practice the concepts covered in class. Successful completion of the course requires the submission of graded homework and the final Quarter End Exam (QEE)
