CHAPTER I. THE ALPHABET. § I. SANSKRIT is properly written with the Devanragari alphabet; but the Bengali, Grantha, Telugu, and other modern Indian alphabets are commonly employed for writing Sanskrit in their respective provinces. Note-Devanagar( means the Nagar( of the gods, or, possibly, of the Br~hmBJl9. A more eurrent style of writing, used by Hindus in 1111 common transaclions where Hindi is the language employed, is called simply Nagart. Why the alphabet should have been called lI'dgart, is unknown. If derived from nagara, eity, it might mean the o.rt of writing as first practised in cities. (PaJ]. IV. 2, 128.) No authority has yet been adduced from any ancient author for the employment of the word Devan/igart. In the Lalita-vis/ora (a life of Buddha, translated from Sanskrit into Chinese 76 A. D.), where a list of alphabets is given, the DevanQgart is not mentioned, unless it be intended by the Deva alphabet. (See History of Ancient Sanskrit Literature, p. 518.) A

Excerpt from A Sanskrit Grammar for Beginners: In Devanagari and Roman Letters Throughout
The principal alterations in the new edition of my Sanskrit grammar consist in a number of additional references to Panini, in all cases where an appeal to his authority seemed likely to be useful, and in the introduction of the marks of the accent. I have also been able to remove a number of mistakes and misprints which, in spite of all the care I had taken, had been overlooked in the first edition. Most of these I had corrected in the German translation of my grammar.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive grammar of the Sanskrit language, written specifically for beginners. It provides a clear and systematic approach to understanding the intricate rules of Sanskrit grammar, as codified by Panini and his successors. While acknowledging the rich history and complexities of the Vedic dialect, the author focuses on the "ordinary Sanskrit" that has become the foundation for the study of Sanskrit literature and comparative philology. The book is structured to facilitate a solid grasp of the grammatical system peculiar to the language of ancient India, a system which is praised as "most perfect" and "unrivalled" in its intricate mechanics. The author, drawing from his own experience as an examiner, has adapted the terminology of native grammarians to make it more accessible to students familiar with European grammar. The author emphasizes clarity and correctness, with the goal of simplifying some of the complexities that have challenged previous scholarship. By carefully selecting and presenting the key rules and exceptions of Sanskrit grammar, the book aims to equip learners with the fundamental knowledge necessary to navigate the vast and rich landscape of Sanskrit literature. This meticulously crafted grammar is a testament to the author's dedication to providing beginners with a firm foundation for the study of this ancient and fascinating language.
