India as Known to Pāṇini: A Study of the Cultural Material in the Ashṭādhyāyī c10.s1.33

c10.s1.33

It is interesting to read in the *Ashṭādhyāyī* about teachers who were strict relentless disciplinarians (*dāruṇādhyāpaka*, *ghorādhyāpaka*). As against them were teachers described as perfect (*kāshṭhādhyāpaka*) and good (*svādhyāpaka*) (*Pūjanāt pūjitam anudāttaṁ kashṭhādibhyaḥ*, VIII.1.67). Retired teachers were called *prāchārya* and Old Boys *prāntevāsī* (*Bhāshya*, II.2.18; I.416).
