There is enormous literature in Prakrit, majority of the Prakrit works still remains inaccessible to the scholars of Jainology as well as to those working in other disciplines because of non-availability of Prakrit texts with their translations in other languages. For comparative study of Indian tradition, history, culture, literature, language, poetics etc. knowledge of Prakrit is essential. Therefore a concerted effort to provide knowledge of Prakrit language is the need of the hour.
The Prakrit grammar here implies the rules of Mahârâshtri dialect, supposed to be the standard form of Prakrit. Other dialects are studied in the light of variations, which they have from Maharashtri. The syllabus is designed to give the knowledge of alphabets- vowels and consonants, genders, cases, rules of Prakrit on conjugation (sandhi), compound (samasa), change of gender etc..
