A brief introduction you won't want to miss -- How to do more with words : building up your Sanskrit vocabulary -- Beginning to read Sanskrit : some practical tips for English speakers -- Hitopadeśa, or Supportive advice -- Vikramacarita, or Vikrama's deeds -- Rāmāyaṇa, or Rāma's journey -- Kathāsaritsāgara, or Ocean of rivers of stories -- Bṛhatkathāślokasaṃgraha, or Verse summary of the great story -- Subhāṣitas, or Epigrams. - "This Reader aims to help students start reading original Sanskrit literature. When we study ancient languages, there often is quite a gap between introductory, grammar-based classes and independent reading of original texts. This Reader bridges that gap by offering complete grammar and vocabulary notes for 40 entertaining, thought-provoking or simply beautiful passages from Sanskrit narrative and epic, as well as over 130 subhāṣitas (epigrams). These readings are complemented by review sections on syntax, word formation and compounding, a 900-word study vocabulary, complete transliterations and literal translations of all readings, as well as supplementary online resources. The Reader can be used for self-study and in a classroom, both to accompany introductory Sanskrit courses and to succeed them"--
