CONTENTS
DESCRIPTION
The aim in the preparation of this work has ail along been to express accurately in simple and classical Sanskrit the various senses of all common words and phrases collected from well-known and upto date English Dictionaries, care being taken not to overload the work with words which as ordinary reader of English is hardly expected to come accross in the course of his reading. Thus this work is of two fold : Firstly , incorporating new English words and phrases and finding suitable Sanskrit equivalents for them-a work of peculiar difficulty, and secondly, of eschewing those which have either become obsolete or which being purely technical are used only in philosophical or scientific treaises. Several ways of compressing words into a small volume such as syllabic replacement and super-addition has therefore to be resorted to .This work will be useful to the students and ordinary writers of vernaculars who may have to run for suitable Sanskrit word or expression when a common English word presents a difficulty in its translation into a vernacular.
