Summary

The situating and mode of expression of the Sanskritic branches ofsystematic knowledge (??stras or sciences) are unique among classical languages dueto several historical and cultural factors. As a consequence, the scientificknowledge and literature in Sanskrit have remained largely inaccessible beyond asmall community of specialists. This book seeks to facilitate access for those whohave little or no reading knowledge of Sanskrit. It explains the features of theliterature and provides a wide-ranging and well-arranged bibliography that enablescontemporary readers to move from Western names of sciences to Indic names and fromgeneral scholarly literature (surveys, histories, etc.) to specialized scholarlytreatments.
