The Roots, Verb-Forms and Primary Derivatives of the Sanskrit Language

Rating:
Summary: An indespensable reference work
Review: Sanskrit must hold the record for the most verbal forms derivable from a single verbal root. Whitney's work not only provides the forms - primary conjugations, secondary derivations and some derivatives - but tags them with the era of Sanskrit in which they occur - Vedas, Updanishads, Epic, Classical etc. This is a must in the library of anyone who reads - or attempts to read - Sanskrit.

Summary: Wow!
Review: The previous reviewer is absolutely correct. This slim bound package of dynamite will save you hours of page flipping in Monier-William's beast.

Excellent for advanced students who are confronting several new roots, and very useful for beginners too for practice in memorizing the tenses, moods, and derivatives.

This is undoubtedly a must-have in the Sanskrit scholar's arsenal.
