This reader is designed to serve as an introduction to the subject
for the students and to provide knowledge of Sanskrit to the
teachers of high schools, academies and colleges. The work helps to
correct some of the false notions which are prevalent respecting
the relations of Sanskrit to other languages of the Indo-European
family. It also keeps saving the literature from undue depreciation
and from exaggerated praise. The author has made selections from
various Sanskrit writings keeping two aims in mind: firstly to
provide abundant material for thorough drill in the language of
classical period; and secondly, to furnish a brief introduction to
the works of the Vedic period, Mantra, Brahmana and Sutra best
suited for beginners.
