This Reader aims to help students start reading original Sanskrit literature.

When we study ancient languages, there often is quite a gap between introductory, grammar-based classes and independent reading of original texts. This Reader bridges that gap by offering complete grammar and vocabulary notes for 40 entertaining, thought-provoking or simply beautiful passages from Sanskrit narrative and epic, as well as over 130 subhasitas (epigrams).

These readings are complemented by review sections on syntax, word formation and compounding, a 900-word study vocabulary, complete transliterations and literal translations of all readings, as well as supplementary online resources.

The Reader can be used for self-study and in a classroom, both to accompany introductory Sanskrit courses and to succeed them.
