Hari-namamrta-vyakarana
The Hari-namamrta-vyakarana is a Sanskrit grammar composed by Jiva Goswami in which all the technical terms in the sutras are names of Krishna or his associates.
Sri Jiva's inspiration for composing this book originated in Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's explanation of grammar in terms of Krishna's holy names,when he was a pandit in Nabadwip.[1] This grammar was composed in two parts:Laghu-hari-namamrta-vyakarnana and Brhad-hari-namamrta-vyakarnana.[2] A shorter version of the texts,known as Samksepa-Hari-namamrta-Vyakarana,ascribed to either Sri Jiva or Sri Sanatana Goswami is also extant.[3]
