Essays in Sanskrit Studies is a collection of twelve articles on different areas of Sanskrit wisdom and all these articles are presented in various national and international seminars in the past. All these articles, however, maintain a common spirit of rethinking on the problems and are not mere descriptive in nature. So, the author has tried to go through the problems with a novel perspective and some hitherto unknown or unidentified areas of knowledge are unearthed with the help of discussions with several scholars. Sanskrit wisdom comprises many realms like linguistic, cultural, aesthetic, and scientific problems. Hence a common continuity could not be possible among the articles in this collection. However, the in-depth views of the ancestors about the linguistic as well as aesthetic problems even from the time of Yaska, Panini, Patanjali, Bhartrhari, Anandavardhana, the scholars of Mimamsa and Abinavagupta are yet to be examined for a proper under-standing of the wisdom embedded in Sanskrit.
The readers are requested to go through the articles and to add their own comments on the views of the present author. The gratitude is expressed before the friends and colleagues who assisted the author in making the articles in the present form to be published in the Sanskrit Sahiti series.
