Shrimad Bhagavad Gita (The celestial Song) is one of the most famous Sanskrit texts.
The language used in the text is very lucid. A student who intends to learn Sanskrit can start with this text.
It is said that, if one read the Bhagavad Gita eleven times, with the splitting of the words (known as Pada Chedda) and understanding each word one can be a master of the Sanskrit Language as well.
The orthodox way of learning Bhagavad Gita is:
Ø Reciting the sloka with the right pronunciation
Ø Do the splitting of the words known as Pada Chedda. This will include Sandhi Vicheda
Ø Identify the figure of speech of each word viz. Nouns, pronoun, verb etc
Ø Arrange the words in the Subject, Object and Predicate
There are a number of works which addresses the various aspects of Gita.
This work is totally dedicated understand the pada chedda and the intricacies of the Sanskrit grammar. The knowledge of Paninis grammar is a must for any student of Sanskrit. In the end there is a cross reference to the various rules of Panini as well.
This work is titled Geeta-Paniniyam (which literally means Gita and Paniniyam).
This work is created for beginners as well as scholars to have it as a ready reference for the various figures of speech.
This is made very interactive and is split into four parts, excluding the Main sloka and the Padachedda part
