"Following on from the three preceding volumes which successively dealt with the sentence and its meaning (volume 1), nominal desinences and nominal stems (volumes II and III), the author, in this fourth volume examines the view-points of Logic (Nyaya), Grammar (Vyakarana), and Exegesis (Purvamimamsa) on roots and verbal desinences. He ends the volume with his own commentary, entitled Tarkasamgrahasabdabodha, on Annambhatta's Tarkasamgraha.

This volume completes the Sabdabodhamimamsa (An Enquiry on Verbal Cognition), the work of Professor Ramanuja Tatacharya, an encyclopaedic work which examines, in 2623 pages, the different views expressed in more than 140 different ancient texts belonging to five sastra-s; to the three mentioned above are added Vedanta and Poetics (Alamkarasastra).
