    5.0 out of 5 stars Intense and detailed

    Verified Purchase
    This is a book for an intense reader. It is a reference book and it is extremely detailed and amazing. If your wish is to translate any ancient written works in Sanskrit to English, this is the book to obtain. Thanks, so much to the author for the time and patience in doing this master work; and to the seller for wonderful condition that the books was in. I was worth 5 times the price I paid for it. This review is long over due. It was over a year ago that I purchased it and I was pleased to have received it soon after the purchase faster then I had expected its delivery. Thanks so much for this precious book.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Monier-Williams' Sanskrit-English Dictionary - Two Problems
    Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2010
    The first problem people seem to be having with this famous dictionary is that some of the more recent reprints of the original Clarendon Press edition (especially the Indian ones) are physically of very poor quality: not only are they poorly printed on inferior paper, but they also come with a shoddy binding that is just not going to stand up to the sort of handling a heavy dictionary gets. Books such as this (and there are many being published today) seem to me almost to have been deliberately designed to self-destruct after minimal use.

    The only solution to this problem is not to buy a later reprint in the first place. Instead, look for a used copy of the earlier UK-produced Clarendon Press edition. This was well-printed on quality paper, stitched so that it opens flat without the spine cracking, and bound in a durable cloth. If you are lucky enough to find one of these you will be getting a real book that will be a pleasure to handle and will stand up to many years of heavy use.

    The second problem that some people run into is that the dictionary itself, because of its arrangement, can be difficult to use. An excellent solution to this problem has been provided by Charles Wikner in his 'A Practical Sanskrit Introductory' (1996).

    This is a superb and extremely useful 146-page Sanskrit tutorial in 15 lessons which, besides teaching Sanskrit pronunciation, Devanagari, and some basic principles, has also been designed, as Wikner says, "to lift the English-speaking student who knows nothing of Sanskrit to the level where he can intelligently [use] Monier-Williams' dictionary."

    He explains that Lessons 12-14 "penetrate Monier-Williams' dictionary through its four levels of alphabetical order, and suggest strategies for finding difficult words." After studying these three lessons, users should have no further difficulty with the dictionary; in fact, it will become a real pleasure to use.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Pre-eminent Dictionary of its type
    Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2005
    Sir Monier Monier Williams work is definitely the classic book of it's kind. In some respects, the work here has been surpassed by other references, but it has never been out-classed. In a rather perverse way, the Process of looking up a Sanskrit word gets easier as you know the word you are looking for in the book. This is hard to articulate given the nature of the Sanskrit language, so in a real sense , you need a range of other books as well as this dictionary; these would include, a Verbal Root book, a Classical grammer[sp?], as well as a Mediaeval grammer, since many popular texts come from the so-called mediaeval period... viz., the PURANAS.
    So, in this respect it is a circular method that really necessitates a learning by rote method, until you can participate in that circle.
    So, with Singular, Dual, and plural forms in either Parasmaipada, or Atmanepada, you have your work cut out for you, especially with 8 cases in most words.
    Anyways, well worth the cost at this price.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 14, 2011

    We have many books on Vedic religion ( commonly called mistakingly as Hinduism ), and since 25 years we have been studying Sanskrit ourselves.
    There is literally one one Sanskrit dictionary that fulfilles both serious students, scholars of Sanskrit as much as general public who really want to know the correct meaning of every day Sanskrit derivative words like yoga, karma.
    This book is a must have for anyone's library. We bought this of course via Amazon for unbeatable price.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive but a little confusing
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 9, 2009
    Verified Purchase
    You should be able to find any Sanskrit word you need in this dictionary, the only problem being that it is a little difficult to use as it is organised by the verbal roots. If the word you are looking for has undergone guna or vrddhi strengthening it will require a bit of detective work to work out the root and then look through many derivatives under that heading.

    Only buy this if your interest in Sanskrit is well established and likely to endure.
