  T. Egenes, Introduction to Sanskrit, Vols 1 and 2

Sanskrit, the classical language of India, has long been renowned for its beauty, subtlety and complexity. It is the key to the civilisational treasures of Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism, and provides direct access to a vast repository of literary, scientific and philosophical wisdom. At ANU we seek to balance the traditional practice of textual reception—reading and grammar—with language production— speaking, chanting and singing to provide a truly balanced curriculum. In this beginner subject, students will be introduced to the grammar of classical Sanskrit, learn to read easy classical texts and engage in the living tradition of Sanskrit conversation, chanting and singing.
