Second Book of Sanskrit

by R.G. Bhandarkar

A companion volume to the First Book of Sanskrit, this work contains as much Grammar as is needed for all practical purposes.

Each lesson in this volume consists of four parts:

• Grammar
• Sanskrit Sentences for Translation into English
• English Sentences for Translation into Sanskrit
• A Vocabulary

The author has attempted to render this book as much a Sanskrit Reading Book as a book on Sanskrit Grammar. With this objective in mind, good many extracts containing examples of the particular rules, from original Sanskrit works, have been given nearly in all the lessons.

A useful book for the Teachers and Students of Sanskrit and a medium for facilitating and promoting the study of the language.
