Reading Sanskrit - A Complete Step By Step Introduction With Texts From Buddhist

"Seeks to improve on existing Sanskrit textbooks by offering a more comprehensive introduction to Sanskrit grammar and a fresh approach to Sanskrit literature, introducing the reader to a diverse and thematically coherent collection of texts drawn from the Buddhist tradition. With its more in-depth treatment of Sanskrit syntax and rigorous approach to the language's Buddhist and South Asian cultural context, Reading Sanskrit has the potential to become a new reference work in the field of college-level Sanskrit instruction. Self-taught readers will also appreciate the book's efforts toward enhancing accessibility, including a more gradual approach to challenging topics, accessible lesson examples drawn from authentic Sanskrit texts, more extensive vocabulary and reading notes, and a complete collection of audio recordings"--
