AbstractThis paper is devoted to theoretical and methodical considerations on our study and understanding of macroscopic transitions in the world of Sanskrit intellectuals from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century (cf. Pollock, Indian Economic and Social History Review 38(1):3-31, 2001). It is argued that compared to his immediate predecessors Bhaṭṭoji Dīkṣita's contribution to Prakriyā grammars was modest. It was to a large extent on account of changed circumstances—over the centuries mainly a slow but steady decline—in the position of Sanskrit and the general public's need for a simple definition of authoritatively correct Sanskrit that Bhaṭṭoji's grammar met with success so quickly, so widely, and so solidly.
