Product Description
The initial words of most entries in this dictionary are in Sanskrit or a vernacular or derived from one or the other. Some entries start with proper names and a relatively small number of entries begins with an English word which expresses a concept relevant to Hinduism.

(2) Sanskrit and vernacular words are written in italics throughout, and with a small initial letter as is customary in dictionaries. (This corresponds to the usage in Sanskrit texts, since the devanāgarī alphabet does not have capital letters.).

When correctly pronounced, ‘ś’ and differ from each other, but the difference can be disregarded for the purposes of this dictionary, as indicated in the note on pronunciation. (The reader is reminded that some authors writing on Indian subjects in English use inconsistent simplified forms of transliteration of Sanskrit words and often fail to discriminate between the two extra sibilants, transliterating both of them as ‘sh’.
