The text Satakotih authored by Killimangalam Narayanan Nambootiripad covers a small part of the Prakriyasarvasya and the first four sub-sections of the Sandhikakhanda ending with prakrtisandhi. Written in the traditional interlocutory style, it is an extensive and erudite commentary that surveys broadly the grammatical tradition of Kerala. Citing grammatical sources from the Mahabhashya down to Nagesha and non-grammatical literary sources including the Vedas to Harsha’s Naishadhiyacharita, it throws light on vital aspects of the ancient works on the grammatical aspects of the Sanskrit language as approached by writers in the ancient tradition.
