Editorial Reviews
Review
"This is a serious, careful, dependable book, broader and more varied even than the old Sources .... It is also easy to read, to look at, and to hear; the new translations are always sound, often charming, and occasionally quite brilliant. This is the primary study of Indian civilization." -- Wendy Doniger University of Chicago
"This reader constitutes the most complete and useful sourcebook on the intellectual history of India anywhere. The translations and the brief but pointed explanatory materials are of the highest quality and insure that this work will continue to be essential to any well-conceived introductory course on the civilizations of India and Asia." -- Robert P. Goldman University of California, Berkeley
For over thirty years, anyone seriously interested in India has always had to keep a copy of this classic within arm's reach. Sources of Indian Tradition is so useful,as a reference work, sourcebook, or textbook,that it has been indispensable to scholars all over the world. I welcome the 'return' of this important work to the marketplace. Better still, I am delighted to note that, in matters of fine-tuning, this is an improved and updated and revised edition. -- Robert Eric Frykenberg University of Wisonsin, Madison
