About This Book

The book surveys the development of Sanskrit literature from its Vedic origins through later religious and secular phases, outlining the Rigveda and subsequent Vedic texts, Brāhmaṇas and Sūtras, and the formation of epic, kāvya, lyrical, and dramatic genres. It examines poetic forms, metres, and philosophical thought embedded in the texts, traces narrative and fable traditions, and assesses later technical literatures such as law, grammar, mathematics, medicine, and the arts. The author provides critical bibliographical notes and an appendix to guide further study and considers the relationship between Sanskrit learning and Western scholarship.
