Among all the ancient literatures, that of India is... undoubtedly in intrinsic value and aesthetic merit second only to that of Greece. -from the Introduction It is the oldest recognized language on the planet-indeed, Sanskrit was considered the language of the gods by ancient Indians.

This compact yet comprehensive overview of Sanskrit works covers the Rigveda, the Sutras, the epics, lyric poetry, drama, fairy tales & fables, and more. With profound insights into the mindsets of ancient and medieval India, this important volume will please students of history, world literature, and comparative linguistics. British scholar ARTHUR A.
