Laghukaumudī (लघुकौमुदी).—Known as लघुसिद्धान्तकौमुदी (laghusiddhāntakaumudī) also, an abridged work based upon the Siddhāntakaumudi of Bhațțojī Dīkşita, written by Bhațțojī's pupil Varadarāja. The work is very valuable and helpful to beginners in grammar. It has got the same topics as the Siddhāntakaumudī, but arranged differently. The work, named सारसिद्धान्तकौमुदी (sārasiddhāntakaumudī) is the same as लघुसिध्दान्तकौमुदी (laghusidhdāntakaumudī). Possibly सारसिद्धान्तकौमुदी (sārasiddhāntakaumudī) was the original name given by the author.
