4.0 out of 5 stars
Good but it says "vedic terms are omitted"
I just bought this dictionary today. It's only 15 dollars, but is a big red book with large pages and three columns and has lots of examples of word combinations. I was studying Chinese, actually, but it looked so nice and inexpensive too, that I found myself at the register buying it. Next, I thought I'd search for the Upanishads, etc., in Sanskrit so I can start...

The standard Sanskrit Dictionary for Sanskrit students is the Monier-William dictionary ... However, packing it around takes the entire back pack. For early years of study, the Apte dictionary is an adequate volume to pack around. However, you'll still need a Monier-William at home.

This review is from: The Student's Sanskrit-English Dictionary (Paperback)
I just bought this dictionary today. It's only 15 dollars, but is a big red book with large pages and three columns and has lots of examples of word combinations. I was studying Chinese, actually, but it looked so nice and inexpensive too, that I found myself at the register buying it. Next, I thought I'd search for the Upanishads, etc., in Sanskrit so I can start reading through them and drawing fun boxes around the words I find in this wonderful dictionary. So then I sit at my desk at work and open up the first page, and in the Preface on page iiv it says "With this object in view I have not thought it necessary to include Vedic words of Vedic senses of words..." And then I flipped through and saw lots of words like names of quail species and bark-garments and on page 629 a word that means "breaking wind downwards" whatever that means..., but proportionately less for philosophy. I wanted to see words that mean enlightenment and fifteen ways to say nirvana... But I haven't used it yet, these are just my first impressions. But it's inexpensive, big yet handy, so I'd go ahead and buy one. And that's why I give it a "4." Thanks, Bruno |
