Description

This guide aims to make the reader nearly as fluent in reading Sanskrit as he is in reading his own language.

Here is a book of Sanskrit grammar whose popularity with teachers and students alike has been on increase since its first printing. In it the essentials of Sanskrit grammar are carefully organized in thirty selected lessons. Interest in lessons is added by quotations of vocabularies from original Sanskrit, and the student is encouraged to read and memorize them. The lessons are followed by appendixes which are of no less interest.

The inclusion of English-Sanskrit and Sanskrit-English glossaries is a special feature of the book.
