Abstract
The Andhrasabdacintamani consists of two hundred and seventy-four Sanskrit sutras that perfectly describe the Telugu language. Sanskrit sutras perfectly describe the Telugu language. Organized into five chapters that reflect the rich Sanskrit and Prakrit tradition of grammatical analysis, this work presents metalinguistic terminology that borrows from the work of India's ancient language experts from Panini onwards, develops rules of Telugu sandhi or sound coalescence, provides descriptions of Telugu nominal bases and verbal stems ending in vowels and consonants, and masterfully summarizes the entire Telugu verbal system.
