Śabda MañjarīAs a study-aide and reference for (mostly noun) paradigms, we in the Sanskrit Tutorial at St. John’s have been using शब्दमञ्जरी (Śabda Mañjarī), published by R.S. Vadhyar & Sons in Kalpathi, Palghat, S. India.

Our tutor, Mr. Mark Singleton, has been kind enough to chant a great deal of the paradigms from this helpful little book, and to be recorded doing so by our classmate Matt Robertson.

    I don’t know anything about the publication except what you can see in the image of its cover above.

    You can download a digital version here: http://www.scribd.com/doc/6591892/Sabda-Manjari

    Other digital versions can be found elsewhere online. Sometimes it turns up on online bookstores, but I don’t have any good leads. It can be hard to get outside of India.
