A bilingual translation and a short explanation of the Kaccāyanapakaraṇasutta pāṭha or the suttas (short rules for memorization) of the Kaccāyanapakaraṇa. Kaccāyanapakaraṇa is the oldest surviving work on Pali grammar composed over time by multiple contributors but ascribed by tradition to single author named Kaccāyana, often understood as the disciple of the Buddha. Kaccāyanapakaraṇa has been the foundation of Pali grammatical literature commented upon and elaborated in multiple works. Kaccāyanapakaraṇasutta is one of the first Pali texts that is memorized by novices so this nissaya is intended as a tool to faciliate this study. The authorship of this work composed in 1870 has not been thoroughly investigated but it appears to correspond to some degree to a nissaya kept as the ms UCL 6512 in the Universities' Central Library, Yangon. Extent and format of original material: 1 fascicle of 42 inscribed folios.
