Description

The Mahabharata and the Ramayana represent the two great epics of old India. These monumental texts are written in a language that differs from classical Sanskrit in many specific details. Despite their massive importance in India and across the world, a dedicated grammar describing the unique characteristics of epic Sanskrit has been missing until now. A Grammar of Epic Sanskrit fills this academic gap. This volume provides the necessary linguistic framework to understand the nuances of these ancient texts. It is an essential resource for students and scholars working within the fields of Indian Philology and South Asian Studies. By focusing on the specific linguistic variations found in the great epics, this book offers a specialized tool for anyone studying the historical development of the Sanskrit language.
