Published in 1881, this is the doctoral thesis of Ferdinand de Saussure, the scholar of Indo-European who became the father of structuralist linguistics and semiotics. Saussure analyses here different forms of the genitive absolute in Sanskrit texts, listing nearly 500 examples, many from the Mahabharata and the Ramayana.
