A Tibetan-English Dictionary With Sanskrit Synonyms

About the Book : Babu Sarat Chandra Das has brought with him four dictionaries of the classical Tibetan ; one of these being a wellknown Tibetan Sanskrit Dictionary, compiled from a large number of named Tibetan as well as standard Sanskrit works, and dating from the 13th century A.D., and another being a SanskritTibetan Dictionary, which explains the Tantrik portion of the Buddhist Scriptures. The external arrangement of the dictionary will be as followsThe Tibetan words will be placed first in alphabetical order; next their accepted Sanskrit equivalents; next the English rendering of the Tibetan terms; then will follow what is to be a special and valuable feature of the new dictionary. The meaning of each technical term is to be illustrated by extracts, with exact references from SanskritBuddhist and Tibetan works. Further, it is proposed that he should include in the dictionary words of modern Tibetan which were not known to Csoma or Jaschke. The materials which he has amassed during his two journeys to and residence in Tibet give him exceptional facilities for making the work complete. The book is very good for learners and students.
