Prakrit grammar
[Lost] Harivṛddha
Fragments can be recovered from Ratnaśrījñāna’s Ratnaśrīṭīkā, Namisādhu’s Kāvyālaṃkāraṭīkā, and a number of Jain authors (Vīrasena, Jinasena, Malayagiri, Haribhadra).
Prākṛtaprakāśa Vararuci
Probably the earliest surviving Prakrit grammar. Originally composed in eight chapters; later expanded to 12, including coverage of Śaurasenī, Māgadhī, and Paiśācī.
