The situating and mode of expression of the Sanskritic branches of systematic knowledge are unique among classical languages due to several historical and cultural factors. As a consequence, the scientific knowledge and literature in Sanskrit have remained largely inaccessible beyond a small community of specialists. This book seeks to facilitate access for those who have little or no reading knowledge of Sanskrit. It explains the features of the literature and provides a wide-ranging and well-arranged bibliography that enables contemporary readers to move from Western names of sciences to Indic names and from general scholarly literature (surveys, histories, etc.) to specialized scholarly treatments.
