Product Description

Text in English and Sanskrit, with some passages in Chinese. The major revision is in the Glossary, which now provides Tibetan correspondence to those entries with ancient Chinese terms corresponding to the Sanskrit. For many of these entries, the students can now also find more explanations. Some hopefully improved explanations are added, sometimes with additional examples, in the grammatical discussion in the book. An appendix of declensions and conjugation is also provided. As in the previous edition, the Romanized sentences are generally given in the form reflecting (emulating) the printed Sanskrit Devanagari texts, so that students can practise removing the sandhi where permissible. But in view of those who need help in such an exercise, we have now shown the separable Romanized forms of the Exercise sentences, where appropriate, in in the annotation of three of the lessons: five, six and seven. Students can learn further about separating the Sanskrit words that have been combined in sandhi from the Romanaized Vajracchedika Prajnaparamita provided after Lesson 13. The Devanagari text of this Sutra is based on Conze's edition, checked against Muller's Sanskrit edition.
