Description

Compiled from a large number of Tibetan and Sanskrit works, this Dictionary represents the arduous labour of the author for 12 years. Here the Tibetan words are given in alphabetical order, with their accepted Sanskrit equivalents, followed by the English meaning. All the technical terms are illustrated from extracts from Sanskrit-Buddhist and Tibetan works.

The author has included modern Tibetan words which were not given by Koros and Jascheke. The great Tibetan scholars Rev Graham Sandberg and Rev. a William Heyde have thoroughly revised the original and given a scientific look to the work, giving an impression of a Tibetan Cyclopaedia.
