A Sanskrit Reader is a critical study of Sanskrit literature from a linguistic perspective. Selected works such as Mahabharata, Hitopadesha, Kathasaritsagara, Dharmasastra, Rigveda, Maitrayani, Grihasutras, and Brahmanas are taken by the author for literary assessment. Stories from the said texts are explained with vocabulary tables and com­mentary offered with translation for assessing its literature. This book is still taught as an introductory text in universities, and is used as a stand­ard textbook in the Sanskrit classes.
